JU10
Making money is easy for you.  Boy, doesn't that sound terrific.  If life
were only that simple.  Well,  life is that simple.  All we have to do is
learn to play by the rules.  Now, on to the rules.  If making money is no
problem, then there must be a problem in spending the money.  Have we hit
the  nail on the head?  Now that we have your attention,  what do you do?
One thing you do,  is spend most of your time earning the money,  like  a
mole digging a tunnel, scarcely coming up for air.  It isn't that you are
obsessed  with  earning.  What it is,  is that you are comfortable in the
workplace,  and uncomfortable elsewhere.  We have news for you.  There is
more  to  life than working.  The mole has an excuse.  He senses that his
job is a matter of life or death.  Not so with you.  What we  are  trying
to say is: "Lighten up pal."                 (Jupiter in the Tenth House)
JU12
You are a jovial prevaricator.  It isn't that you lie for the fun of  it,
but rather,  in order to be amused, you may fabricate the truth.  You may
see this as a harmless activity, but we beg to differ.  For instance,  if
you make up a wild story and tell it to others,  there is the possibility
that some of them will believe it as truth.  They  then  may  incorporate
some  of the features into their own lives,  assuming they have learned a
valuable lesson.  It may be some time before they discover, much to their
chagrin,  that what they thought was gospel,  was in fact  garbage.  Does
this  mean that you cannot have any fun?  Of course not.  What you can do
is rather than fabricate, illustrate.      (Jupiter in the Twelfth House)
JU3
You are an effective expediter.  What we mean is that you  have  no  time
for  excuses.  In  general,  this  is a healthy and desirable trait.  We,
however, are not concerned with that.  We are interested in examining the
situations  in  which  it is a liability.  When you cut through the horse
manure of everyday living,  sometimes there is a tender feeling that  has
become entangled in the drivel.  Let us illustrate.  Suppose that you are
in  charge of a business.  An employee comes to you and asks for a raise.
Your first inclination might be to say "No way",  and drop the matter.  A
more  considerate  approach  would be to inquire what that person feel he
has done to merit a promotion.  If he is able to articulate a  reasonable
justification,  then perhaps you should consider additional remuneration.
If, on the other hand, he cannot substantiate any rationale, then,  don't
just say no, but rather indicate that when he has demonstrated additional
responsibilities,   then   additional   pay  will  be  considered.   This
accomplishes two objectives.  First,  it lets the person  know  that  his
paycheck is not arbitrary,  but is related to his work.  Second, it shows
him  that  he  can have what he wants simply by meeting the requirements.
                                             (Jupiter in the Third House)
JU5
You love levity.  What we are saying is that you are  a  joker.  Now  you
may  feel this is an admirable trait.  We disagree.  You see,  most jokes
are only funny if there is a victim.  Everyone laughs  except  those  who
identify  with  the fall guy.  They feel hurt,  and cannot understand why
everyone is picking on them.  "Does this mean that jokes  are  bad?"  You
ask.  Not  at  all.  The world would be a sad place without a chuckle now
and then.  Our advice then is with the way you tell your humorous  story.
Instead of picking on innocent people, use yourself for the fool.
                                             (Jupiter in the Fifth House)
JU6
You decide on extremes.  In other words,  you choose the maximum.  Let us
explain.  Whenever you are required to make a decision,  instead of using
common sense,  what you do is to pick the most  unreasonable  choice.  We
feel   that  your  judgement  can  stand  improvement.   We  have  a  few
suggestions.  First, instead of arbitrarily making a selection,  stop and
consider  the   consequences.   You  may  find  that  some  of  them  are
unacceptable.  Now you have narrowed your range  of  possibilities.  With
the  remaining  choices,  evaluate  your  feelings.  If you find one that
excites you, then it is a good choice.       (Jupiter in the Sixth House)
JU7
You are happily balanced.  What we are saying is that you are jovial when
there is harmony.  We have  no  complaint  with  that,  however,  we  are
concerned about your attitude toward discord.  Specifically, we object to
the  way  you treat those with whom you disagree.  Rather than issuing an
ultimatum, as your first impulse might be, a sounder approach would be to
negotiate a compromise solution.           (Jupiter in the Seventh House)
JU9
You understand extremism.  What we are  saying  is  that  you  relate  to
polarized thinking.  You see, you often take a position at one end of the
spectrum.  If  you  think  we  are impressed then you are sadly mistaken.
When you are immoderate in your views,  then you hurt yourself.  This  is
because  you  discount the middle ground.  Let us explain.  In many areas
of life,  most people hold a viewpoint near the center.  If your opinions
are substantially different, then you do not mesh very well with society.
"So  what!"  You  exclaim.   It  is  simply  this.  We  gain  insight  by
interacting with others.  When your contact is minimal,  then so is  your
growth.                                      (Jupiter in the Ninth House)
JUAQ
You have complete control over your  actions.  This  is  no  small  feat.
Many  people  would  give  their eye teeth for your level of control.  Is
there a problem then?  You bet there is.  Your ability  to  control  what
you do,  does not however,  give you the judgement to know, what the best
thing to do is.  Is there hope?  Of course there  is.  Pay  attention  to
other  people.  Many  of  them know exactly what to do.  Don't,  however,
expect them to do, what they know.  For just as you have a problem,  they
may have one as well.                               (Jupiter in Aquarius)
JUASC.OPP
You are an extremist.  By that we mean that you usually take  a  position
at  one end of the spectrum,  or the other,  but rarely do you settle for
somewhere in the middle.  We feel that compromise is a  better  solution,
because  it tolerates all points of view,  not just those similar to your
own.                                   (Jupiter opposition the Ascendant)
JUCAP
You are a happy businessman.  In other words, you enjoy making money.  We
have no quarrel with that.  In fact,  we feel  that  more  of  the  world
should  follow  your  example.  We  do,  however,  see a problem.  We are
referring to the way you spend your money.  You see,  you tend  to  hoard
it.  What you need to learn is that money,  in and of itself, is useless.
It is only what it buys that is important.         (Jupiter in Capricorn)
JUGE
You  are a jovial communicator.  What we mean by this,  is that you don't
take things seriously.  Is this any problem, then?  It certainly is.  Let
us explain.  You see,  most people use communication to convey  thoughts.
When  you speak flippantly,  then others are unsure of your intent.  They
may, for instance, simply consider it a joke, or on the other hand,  they
may  think  that you are serious.  The difficulty then is with the latter
group.  What you have done is deceive and confuse them.
                                                      (Jupiter in Gemini)
JULI
You enjoy beauty.  By that we mean that you are happy when you are around
beautiful things.  We think that is nice,  however,  we do see a problem.
That is your attitude when you are not surrounded by things you  consider
to be wonderful.  You see,  when you notice ugliness, your reaction is to
avoid it.  "What is the problem with that?"  You ask.  It is simply this.
When  you  avoid  something,  what  you are really doing,  is denying its
existence.                                             (Jupiter in Libra)
JUNE.CNJ
You have extreme beliefs.  What we mean is that your values  are  at  one
end  of  the  spectrum,  or  the  other.  You  feel  that  if a little of
something is good,  then more must  be  better.  You  do  not  relate  to
moderation.  We  have  news  for  you.  The  rest  of  the world does not
operate that way.  You see, many people are middle of the road about most
of their opinions.  When you depart substantially from that center,  then
you  represent  a  threat.  This  is  because  they cannot relate to your
position.                                      (Jupiter conjunct Neptune)
JUNE.SEX
You are one of those people who are lucky.  You can  make  many  mistakes
and  still end up smelling like a rose.  Your luck applies to finances as
well as everyday things.  This can go against you,  however,  as you  may
become  dependent  on it,  expecting your luck to pull you through,  when
your common sense has failed.  Most people envy your lucky streak, but it
is actually a curse,  because just  when  you  think  it  will  pull  you
through,  it fails you,  and you have egg on your face.  It would be much
better for you if you simply ignored  your  luck,  and  went  about  your
business as if it didn't exist.                 (Jupiter sextile Neptune)
JUNE.TRI
You are a polarized individual.  By that we mean that  you  consider  the
events of the world to be either right, or wrong, no in-between.  We have
some  news  for  you.  That is not the way it is.  In most areas of life,
the shades of gray are what make it interesting.  We will grant you  that
it is easier to categorize everything into two groups.  However, you lose
a lot of the flavor in the process.  By now you have gathered  that  your
attitude  can  use  a  few  changes.  We  couldn't  have  said  it better
ourselves.  Let us illustrate.  Let us say that you  have  a  friend  who
constantly  does  things  that  irritate  you.  Instead  of giving him an
ultimatum to shape up or ship out,  the wiser approach would be to  speak
to  him  about  each  activity,  when  it happens.  Tell him that you are
annoyed by it,  and that you would appreciate it if he would  desist.  If
he agrees,  then you have what you want.  However,  if he does not change
his  behavior,  then  you  have  a  dilemma.  Should  you  terminate  the
relationship,  or  resolve to live with the nuisance?  Neither!  Instead,
gently inform him that he has failed to do what you asked.  If  he  still
continues,  then say that it is so important to you that you would rather
sacrifice the friendship than put up with it.  What you have done,  is to
put  the responsibility for the desired change squarely on his shoulders,
where it belongs.  Then, whichever way he decides,  your course of action
is clear.                                         (Jupiter trine Neptune)
JUPL.OPP
You are a polarized paranoid.  What we mean is that  you  are  afraid  of
extremes.  You are a true middle of the road lily liver.  You rarely take
a  stand  on  anything.  Before  you  think that we are praising you,  we
should tell you that these traits  are  anything  but  commendable.  "But
aren't  extremists dangerous for society?"  You remark.  No,  not really.
Now that you can see that we are on  different  wavelengths,  perhaps  we
should  explain.  You  see,  it  is  not where you stand on an issue that
matters,  but the mere fact that you have taken a position.  And by that,
we don't mean where you think the middle of the crowd is.  If you fail to
establish  a  reference  value for yourself,  then you are susceptible to
where ever the winds of time blow.  As a result,  you  find  that,  after
years of drifting,  you are right back where you started.  So, our advice
to you is to get with the program and have  convictions.  This  does  not
mean that they are set in concrete,  and are unchangeable,  but rather to
be modified as circumstances dictate.          (Jupiter opposition Pluto)
JUPL.SEX
You change easily.  What we are saying is that you really do not  have  a
firm position about anything.  If you think we admire this trait, you are
mistaken.  We feel that taking a stand is important.
                                                  (Jupiter sextile Pluto)
JUPL.TRI
You are very faithful in your duties to your boss.  In general this is  a
very  good trait,  however,  there may be times when it goes against you.
This is when your boss becomes aware of your diligence and decides to use
it for his own ends.  In other words,  he takes advantage of  you.  There
is  a way around this,  and it does not entail giving less than your fair
share to the organization.  The method is simple.  When your  boss  gives
you an assignment, instead of immediately starting to work on it, talk to
your  fellow  employees.  Tell them what he has just asked you to do.  If
they seem surprised,  ask them why.  If they explain that the request  is
unreasonable, then go back to the boss.  State to him, "I've been mulling
this assignment over,  and it seems to me to be not entirely reasonable."
"I wonder if there is some mistake  somewhere?"  If  he  reconsiders  and
scales down the assignment, then you have what you want.  If he sticks to
the  original,  on  the  other  hand,  then you can continue with,  "I've
explained the assignment to my fellow workers, and they do not understand
either."  Then ask him to call  all  of  you  together,  to  explain  how
assignments  are issued to everyone.  If this still doesn't do the trick,
then you would be well advised to seek a new boss.
                                                    (Jupiter trine Pluto)
JUSA.SQR
You are an extreme authority.  What we mean is that your position on most
issues is at one end of the spectrum,  or the other.  Moderation  is  not
something  you  relate  to.  You  have  this attitude that if a little of
something is good,  then more must be better.  In short  order  then  you
have gone off the deep end.                       (Jupiter square Saturn)
JUUR.TRI
You are happily bizarre.  In other words, you find levity in the unusual.
We have no complaint with that.  Where we do have a quarrel is  with  the
mundane.  You  take  normal everyday affairs too seriously.  We have some
advice for you.  Lighten up.                       (Jupiter trine Uranus)
MA1
You are self starting person.  You have great drive  and  can  accomplish
anything  you  set  your  mind  to.  You can sometimes be bullheaded when
others get in your way.  You haven't got the slightest  clue  as  to  why
others  avoid  you.  After all,  you are a very hard worker.  The problem
may very well be that you are so busy doing,  that  you  fail  to  notice
others  feelings.  You  are  a  dynamic  individual and others may have a
difficult time keeping up with you.  You need to recognize that you  have
more energy than most people, and slow the pace when working with others,
so  they  do not become exhausted.  Your main concern should be to notice
others and learn to accommodate them.           (Mars in the First House)
MA10
You are a fighting businessman.  In other words, you conduct your affairs
in an angry manner.  You may feel  that  this  is  the  only  way  to  do
business,  but you are sadly mistaken.  You see,  when you are angry, the
person you are dealing with becomes angry too,  and more likely than  not
you  have  a  war  of  words  on your hands.  There is a much better way.
Specifically, try being nice for a change.  "But,"  You say,  "It's a dog
eat dog world out there."  "Nice  guys  simply  get  taken."  We  do  not
agree.  By being nice, we do not mean letting the other guy have whatever
he  wants.  What  we  mean,  is  to  pleasantly  state  the  terms of the
transaction.   If  the  other  person  agrees,   then  both  of  you  are
successful.  On  the  other  hand,  if he does not agree,  then ask for a
counter proposal.  If this is acceptable to you,  then  again,  you  both
win.  If it is not,  then tell him that you are sorry that the two of you
cannot come to terms, and move on to another person.
                                                (Mars in the Tenth House)
MA3
You communicate aggressively.  In  other  words,  you  threaten.  If  you
think  we  consider  this a good trait,  then you are mistaken.  You see,
when you bully someone,  you are attempting to intimidate him.  There are
a  couple  of problems with this.  We are here on this earth to learn and
grow.  One of the lessons we have,  is to learn to get along with others.
This  is  accomplished  by mutual respect,  that is,  where neither party
attempts to  control  the  other.  When  we  intimidate  others,  we  are
demonstrating that we have not yet learned this important lesson.
                                                (Mars in the Third House)
MA4
You are  an  aggressive  domestic.  By  this  we  mean  that  you  tackle
household  chores  with  a  vengeance.  This,  for  the  most part,  is a
commendable  trait.   There   are,   however,   some   difficulties.   In
particular,  we  are  referring  to your behavior outside your home.  You
see, your behavior on the social scene is just the opposite.  You are, in
fact,  quite timid in public.  Is  there  a  solution  to  this  problem?
Certainly.  We are glad that you asked.  The reason that you seem so meek
is  that  you  are  uncertain of others reactions.  We have news for you.
One of the best ways of determining the reactions of others is to observe
their response to your views.                  (Mars in the Fourth House)
MA6
You are a  finicky  fighter.  What  we  mean  is  that  you  choose  your
opponents  carefully.  You  may  think you are clever.  We disagree.  You
see,  aggression is not the way to deal with  conflict.  Negotiation  is.
The  advice that we have to offer then is,  compromise.  What you need to
do is to offer the other party some of what  he  wants,  while  retaining
some of what you want also.                     (Mars in the Sixth House)
MA7
You are a fair fighter.  You do not believe in hitting below the belt, or
going after a man when he is down.  By now you are probably thinking that
we consider you to be a really nice guy.  Nothing could be  further  from
the truth.  Yes, we do have some complaints.  First, the idea of fighting
another individual leaves us rather cold.  The two of you can settle your
differences  in  a much more civilized manner.  The best way is simply to
discuss them,  recognizing that each of you has valid  concerns.  Failing
that  then,  enlist an unconcerned third party to help with the decision.
If this should not prove fruitful either,  then as a last  resort,  break
off  negotiations  with  the  other  party,  and resolve to avoid similar
scrapes in the future.                        (Mars in the Seventh House)
MA8
You are secretly aggressive.  What we mean is that your anger is  hidden.
Now  you  may think this is no problem.  We disagree.  You see,  when you
are enraged over something, and others are unaware,  then you become like
a pressure cooker,  just waiting to explode.  There is a way of releasing
this anger before it reaches the boiling point.  It is simply this.  When
you first notice your anger, stop immediately,  and think.  Ask yourself,
"Is the other person aware of my discomfort?"  If the answer is negative,
then,  calmly  tell  him  that  you feel strongly about the issue.  If he
inquires,  then inform him of your concern.  On the  other  hand,  if  he
seems  to take no notice,  then say that you are willing to sacrifice the
relationship, if the matter cannot be resolved.  If he then is willing to
negotiate,  then you have what you want.  However,  if he insists on only
his  point  of view,  then you have already set the stage for terminating
the relationship.                              (Mars in the Eighth House)
MAAQ
You are unusually aggressive.  This does  not  mean  that  you  challenge
everything, but rather that you fight in unusual ways.  We feel there can
be  some  improvement here.  You see,  there is a better way of resolving
conflict than by fighting.  It is negotiation.  What you do is to offer a
compromise solution that gives both parties some of what they want.
                                                       (Mars in Aquarius)
MAAR
You are aggressive.  In other words,  you get what you want regardless of
obstacles.  The  problem  then is that you do not consider the obstacles.
Let us elaborate.  In your zeal to get what you want,  you may trample on
others  feelings.  "What  is  the  harm in that?"  You ask.  It is simply
this.  They feel under attack.                            (Mars in Aries)
MAASC.OPP
You are hostile.  In other words,  when  you  have  a  disagreement,  you
instead  become  violent.  We  feel  there  is  a  better way.  It is the
process of negotiating.  You see,  what you need to do is to conceed that
the  other  person has some valid points,  but that you cannot accept his
views in their entirety.                  (Mars opposition the Ascendant)
MAJU.TRI
You are a good sport.  By this we mean that when you  lose,  you  do  not
hold  any  bitterness.  While you may think this is an admiral trait,  we
are  compelled  to disagree.  "What!"  You say.  "I feel this is about as
good as a person can do."  Our contention stands.  Let  us  explain.  You
see,  we  have  no qualms about your lack of bitterness,  in fact we feel
that is making the best of the  situation.  "So,  what  is  the  problem,
then?"  The  contest itself is where the difficulty lies.  You see,  when
you  pit  your  abilities  against  another,  you  both  lose.  "I  don't
understand,"  You say.  Perhaps some clarification is in order.  When two
people challenge each other, there usually is a winner, and a loser.  The
loser,  justifiably feels inferior.  This is unfortunate,  for presumably
he  tried his best.  The winner,  on the other hand,  may well gloat over
his victory.  This is also unfortunate,  for he may  feel  superior,  and
with that overconfidence fail to do his best next time.  In truth, in the
game of life,  there are no winners or losers,  only participants.  If we
strive to do our best, then we will gain the  ultimate  prize,  one  that
eventually will be given to all.                     (Mars trine Jupiter)
MALE
You are an aggressive individual.  What we mean is that you get what  you
want  regardless of obstacles.  We have no quarrel with that.  We do find
fault,  however,  with your tactics.  You see,  when you steamroller over
your blockages, you may crush others who may be in your path.  The way to
avoid this is simply to watch what you are doing.           (Mars in Leo)
MALI
You love to fight.  In other words,  you enjoy  squabbling.  Needless  to
say,  we  cannot commend you.  Instead,  we will try to show you a way to
obtain peaceful enjoyment.  When you  feel  a  disagreement  is  arising,
instead raising your voice, or your mitts, think about what is happening.
You  see,  most  of  the  time  disputes  begin because people act before
thinking.  In order to reverse this,  it is simply  a  matter  of  coolly
contemplating the situation, instead of rushing in.  For example, suppose
that your mate has done something which you detest.  You could provoke an
angry confrontation,  or, a better method would be to say that you have a
few quirks,  and that one of them is related to the  activities  of  your
spouse.  Your  mate  will  then probably ask what you mean.  Instead of a
direct accusation,  however,  simply say that you become  angry  whenever
someone  acts as your mate has.  The other person will usually understand
and will make sure it doesn't happen again.               (Mars in Libra)
MANE.CNJ
You believe in aggression.  You feel that the only way to  get  what  you
want  in life is to take it.  If that means by force,  then so be it.  We
seriously disagree.  In fact,  our approach  is  very  nearly  the  exact
opposite.   Let  us  explain.   Suppose,  for  instance,  that  you  want
something  your  neighbor  has.   Instead  of  running  over  there   and
threatening  him  with  bodily  harm,  there  is  a  much  more effective
approach.  Simply inquire of  him,  how  he  obtained  the  item.  If  he
replies that he purchased it, then ask where.  Finally resolve to buy the
item yourself.  You may at this point ask, "Why should I pay for it, when
I am strong enough to take it myself?"  We simply state that, the purpose
of money is to buy things.  When you purchase  something,  you  make  two
people  happy,  the  seller,  and yourself.  On the other hand,  when you
steal an item,  then you make two people unhappy.  Let  us  explain.  You
see,  when  you  have  something  that  does not belong to you,  you feel
guilty.  When the previous owner discovers that  he  no  longer  has  the
item,  he feels angry.  So,  you see,  the best thing then is to buy what
you want.                                         (Mars conjunct Neptune)
MASA
Your aggression is extreme.  In other words,  when you have a fight,  you
get  carried  away.  We  see  a  couple  of  problems  with this.  First,
problems  are  not  solved  by  conflict.   They   are   ameliorated   by
understanding.  Second,  if  you should be provoked into a struggle,  the
wisest behavior is to let the other person feel that  he  has  won.  This
accomplishes  two  things.   It  allows  his  self   esteem   to   remain
untarnished, and it also shows him that you are not unreasonable.

You are an angry authority.  What we are saying is that your rage  flames
when  you  feel  that rules have been broken.  "What is wrong with that?"
You  fling  back.  It  is simply this.  When others violate the statutes,
then they risk retribution.  That is their  affair.  Your  role,  on  the
other hand, is to mind your own business.            (Mars square Saturn)
MATA
You have a stubborn streak.  It is not that your closest  relative  is  a
mule,  as  some  of  your friends might have you believe.  It is simply a
matter of fixation,  that is once you are convinced of something,  it may
take  a battering ram to alter your viewpoint.  This is not all bad,  for
it gives you tremendous stability,  but like everything else in life,  it
has  its  drawbacks.  We  are  here  not to discuss the benefits,  but to
ameliorate the liabilities.  First,  you need to open your eyes and ears,
in  order  to  be  alert  to  any  changes to the information you used in
forming your point of view.  Second,  you need to be willing to make  the
corresponding  change.  Third,  you  need  to  actually change direction.

You are unusually aggressive.  We do not mean to say that your  pushiness
is immoderate, but rather that your thrust is in bizarre ways.

MAUR.SQR
You are unusually angry.  What we  are  saying  is  that  your  wrath  is
expressed  in  bizarre  ways.  Is this a problem?  We think so.  You see,
others may not understand what is happening.  What can be done  about  it
then?  Simply  this.  When  you  feel  anger  coming on,  then instead of
reacting, a better approach is to say to those around you.  "I am feeling
angry." This alerts them, and they then have less need to guess about how
you feel from merely observing your actions.         (Mars square Uranus)
MAVI
You are hyper-critical.  What  we  mean  is  that  things  that  irritate
others,  you make a federal case out of.  What you need to learn, is that
life has its ups and downs,  and a little dip does not mean that the  sky
is  falling.  We  have  a  few  tips  to  help you.  First,  when you see
something you dislike, instead of getting out the bull horn and informing
the world,  try noticing how others are reacting.  If  they  seem  to  be
taking  it in stride,  ask yourself if you are not possibly overreacting.
A second piece of advice is when you are irritated over something,  don't
mutter   under  your  breath,   but  rather  keep  a  calm  and  pleasant
disposition,  knowing that this,  like all things will soon pass.  Third,
when  life  upsets  you  simply  remember  that  in  order  to appreciate
happiness,  you  need  to  taste  disappointment,  so  that  you  have  a
reference.                                                (Mars in Virgo)

You are a speedy communicator.  In other words, you talk very quickly. It
is not that you are in a race,  but sometimes it certainly seems  so.  Is
there  difficulty  here,  then?  We  think  so.  You  see,  when a person
converses rapidly,  many times some of the words are  misunderstood.  The
listening  party  then either must ask for the phrase to be repeated,  or
simply assume that it is unimportant.  There are two problems here, then.
On the one hand,  the listener really wants to know what you said and  is
annoyed  at  having  to  ask  for  clarification.  The  second problem is
actually worse.  This is because you may be misled into thinking that the
person to whom you are speaking, is comprehending your communication. The
moral then, is, to, simply, slow, down.      (Mercury in the First House)
ME12
You communicate your beliefs.  In other words,  you discuss  your  values
with others.  We feel this is commendable, but, we do see a problem.  You
fail to acknowledge others beliefs.  What this does, is to alienate them,
so  that soon,  you are able to find no one to listen.  There is a simple
solution.  Just inquire about how they feel,  and then actually listen to
their response.                            (Mercury in the Twelfth House)
ME2
You  are agile.  By this we mean that you have good control of your body.
You probably  feel  that  this  trait  is  a  excellent  one.  We  agree.
However,  there are some problems.  It is those difficulties that we will
now address.  You see,  when you are well  coordinated,  it  is  easy  to
assume  that  everyone  else  is  as  well.  That then is the trap.  Many
people are unable to physically function with the speed and  grace  which
come  so  naturally to you.  You may become impatient with them when they
fail to meet your high  standards.  This  is  unfortunate  because,  even
though you excel in this area,  there may be other areas in which you are
totally eclipsed.  The lesson then is acceptance, both of your strengths,
and weaknesses, as well as acknowledgement of them in others.
                                            (Mercury in the Second House)
ME5
You have a quick witty tongue,  which you like to  show  off.  There  are
some problems with this.  First,  even though you may be wittier than the
next guy,  this does not entitle you to belittle him.  Your energy  would
be  much wiser redirected toward colorfully illustrating some life lesson
that you have learned.  Second,  a sharp tongue is no substitute  for  an
honest  job  well  done.  What  we  mean is that it is often very easy to
state what we would have done in a particular circumstance,  but in  fact
we haven't actually done it.  This leaves the impression that we are more
perfect than we actually are.  If this weren't bad enough on our subject,
think of what it does to us.  We delude ourselves into thinking that when
the  circumstance  actually  arises,   that  we  will  automatically  act
according to our words,  but this may not be anywhere  near  what  really
happens.  So  we tend to live in an artificial world of our own creation,
with minimal attention to  the  actual  world  around  us.  We  are  then
labelled as having our head in the clouds, and no one takes us seriously.
                                             (Mercury in the Fifth House)
ME8
You tell secrets.  What we mean is that you repeat things that have  been
told to you in confidence.  If you think this is an endearing trait, then
you  are  sadly  mistaken.  You  see,  when  people confide in you,  they
usually do not want anyone else to be aware of what was  said.  When  you
break  this trust by blabbing,  then you are essentially making a mockery
of the confidant's concerns.  What then happens is that you begin  to  be
left  out  of  whatever  is happening,  simply because others do not want
everything they do to be advertised.  The solution then is just  to  keep
your mouth shut.                            (Mercury in the Eighth House)
MEAR
You are a communicator.  By this we mean that you share your  ideas  with
others.  We think this is a fine trait, however, we do see a problem.  In
your zeal to let others know where you stand, you often fail to listen to
their point of view.  We have a solution for  you.  It  is  simply  this.
After  each  sentence,  pause  a  few seconds.  If someone then begins to
talk,   then  listen  attentively  without  interrupting.   When  he  has
finished, then you may resume.                         (Mercury in Aries)
MECAN
You are a restless homebody.  What  we  mean  is  that,  while  you  like
puttering  around  the house,  you have an itch to get out in the rest of
the world.  This is not all bad,  in fact,  what it does,  is to keep you
from being bored.  So, is there a problem here.  Of course.  Your problem
then is that instead of doing the home chores properly,  you skip out and
leave them half completed.  For instance,  let us say that you have  been
wanting  to  paint a room.  After you have all of the materials out,  and
have started on the first  wall,  you  suddenly  remember  that  you  had
planned to meet someone for lunch.  Your initial reaction might be to put
the  lid on the paint can,  and hit the road.  A more reasonable approach
would be to telephone the friend and explain that you  forgot  about  the
luncheon,  and that you would like to postpone it.  This accomplishes two
things.  One,  you are now able to finish  the  painting,  and  two,  the
friend does not feel guilty for having interrupted your work.

MECAP
You believe in  speedy  justice.  What  we  mean  is  that  you  advocate
vigilantism.  Naturally,  you do not expect us to support your viewpoint.
We  don't.  You see,  taking justice into your own hands has some serious
flaws.  First,  when you hastily convict someone,  there is  considerable
possibility  that  misinformation,  not  to mention strong feelings,  may
enter into the proceedings.  If that were not enough,  consider your  own
circumstance.  Do  you  feel  that  you  are so pure that you are able to
judge another impartially?  We think not.  "So, then,  how should justice
be served?"  You ask.  We can only state that there are plenty of others,
who feel that they are more qualified than you, and are more than willing
to do the job.  Kindly, let them!                  (Mercury in Capricorn)
MEJU.SQR
You are quick extremist.  What we  are  saying  is  that  you  form  your
opinions  hastily  and  without  any  middle  ground.  This  is a serious
difficulty.  You see,  when you make snap decisions,  before all  of  the
facts  are  in,  you may jump to the wrong conclusion.  If,  on the other
hand,  you wait until you are reasonably sure  that  you  understand  the
situation,  you  can  save  yourself  a lot of grief.  Let us illustrate.
Suppose that you  have  the  opportunity  to  select  from  a  number  of
different  possibilities.  Instead  of  rushing  in and picking the first
one, a better approach would be to examine each in turn,  and then select
the  best.  What  you  have  accomplished  by this is,  in the process of
evaluating, you have discovered some flaws that otherwise would have gone
unnoticed.  If you had simply selected the first one, then you would have
lost out in two ways.  The first way is that you would be  unaware  of  a
possible  problem that may arise later.  The second way is that you would
also be unaware that a superior choice was possible.  Let us now  address
your  extremism.  You  see,  when  you  categorize  things  into only two
groups,  you are again denying yourself opportunities.  This  is  because
generally  there  are subtle differences between items.  To lump them all
together simply obscures these variations.  Again,  when you select  from
among a group, if you pick arbitrarily, then you have denied yourself the
best.                                            (Mercury square Jupiter)
MEJU.TRI
You are extremely quick.  By this we mean that you jump  to  conclusions.
We  feel  this is not an endearing trait.  "What can I do about it?"  You
ask.  Simply this.  When you are presented with a new situation,  instead
of assuming that  you  know  what  is  happening,  stop  and  think.  Ask
yourself if you have ever encountered anything similar.  If the answer is
truly affirmative, then use this as a guide toward your behavior.  On the
other hand, if you have no experience to draw on, then simply ask someone
to explain.                                       (Mercury trine Jupiter)
MEMA.SEX
You are touchy.  By this we mean that,  if something does not strike  you
just right, you erupt with explosive energy.  It is not that you are hard
to  get along with.  It is simply that your anger arises before anyone is
aware of your discomfort.  This, then is what you need to work on.  A few
examples may help you.  For instance,  suppose that you are at  a  social
gathering,  and  the  conversation  drifts toward one of your pet peeves.
Instead of bursting forth with indignation, a better approach would be to
calmly listen,  without saying anything.  You will find  that  the  topic
soon  changes  again  and your temperature will cool down.  What you have
successfully done,  is avoid an ugly scene.  Another benefit,  which  you
may  notice,  is  that things which once made you very uptight,  now pass
with only a mild ripple.  Now  for  a  second  illustration.  This  time,
consider that you are entertaining friends, and one of them remarks about
a  hot  button  of  yours.  What you can say in reply is that a number of
people feel very strongly about this issue.  If he takes  the  hint,  and
changes the subject, fine.  If he persists, however, then simply say that
the  current  topic is not one that you would like to continue.  Usually,
he will then drop it and move on.  If he doesn't, then your best approach
is to excuse yourself and attend to other matters.

You are an angry communicator.  What we mean is that you threaten people.
If you think this is a redeeming virtue, you are mistaken.  You see, when
you have a conflict with someone, and you begin shouting insults, all you
do is arouse their ire.  A better approach is to  explain  your  position
calmly.  If  the other party disagrees,  then you have a choice.  You can
negotiate a compromise, or you can choose to deal with someone else.

MENE.CNJ
You have a tendency to jump to conclusions.  What we are saying here,  is
that  instead  of thinking things through,  what you do is to make a snap
decision about the situation.  As you might guess,  this  gets  you  into
lots  of  hot  water.  We  have  some tips for you.  First,  when you see
something out of the ordinary,  instead  of  immediately  concluding  its
cause,  stop  and  think.  Ask  yourself  if  you  have  ever experienced
anything similar.  The chances are good that you have,  but it may take a
few  moments to recall.  When you do remember,  then note the differences
between your memory and the current event.  You are now in  an  excellent
position  to  decide  on  the  cause.  If  it  turns  out that you cannot
remember anything similar,  then instead of speculating,  ask someone  if
they know the cause.  If the reply seems reasonable to you, then go ahead
and  accept  it as valid.  However,  if the reply does not jibe with your
experience,  then state your experience to that person,  and ask  him  to
explain   the   discrepancy.   If   he  is  able  to  elucidate  to  your
satisfaction,  then you have learned something.  Now it may be that he is
either  unable  to explain,  or his articulation is sufficiently obscure,
that you get nowhere.  In this case,  it is wise  to  ask  someone  else.

You cannot talk about your beliefs.  In other words,  you feel that  your
values are so different from others,  that mention of them will cause you
to be ostracized.  We strongly disagree.  You see, there are many bizarre
things that people believe in.  One of the ways  that  others  achieve  a
sort  of  commonality  is  by  sharing  them  with each other.  What then
happens is that those that seem  reasonable  become  adopted,  while  the
outrageous  ones  are  discarded.  When  you refuse to share yours,  then
others assume that you feel superior,  and tend to do the very thing  you
fear, namely, ostracize you.                 (Mercury opposition Neptune)
MENE.SQR
You cannot communicate your beliefs.  In other words, you have difficulty
in talking about your values.  Perhaps we can help.  You see,  each of us
acquires  our values by listening to and watching others.  We adopt those
attitudes and actions that seem reasonable  and  discard  the  rest.  The
reason  that  you find it difficult to discuss is due to fear.  Fear that
your beliefs may not be accepted.  What you need to  learn  is  that  the
important  thing  is  the  discussion  which  enables  you to refine your
values.  If the other person chooses to ignore what you  feel  is  valid,
then  it may be that he is not yet ready to accept what you have learned.

You  believe in speed.  In other words,  you think quickness is a virtue.
We cannot disagree more.  You see, when you do something rapidly, some of
the details by necessity are  lost.  "Haste  makes  waste"  is  the  term
commonly  used  to describe this.  We have some advice for you.  It,  is,
this.    Simply,    slow,     down!               (Mercury trine Neptune)

You are universally speedy.  In  other  words,  you  do  everything  with
haste.  We don't need to tell you that we disapprove.  You see, there are
only  a  few things in life that actually require speed.  Most things are
best done at a moderate pace.  When you rush these,  then something  gets
lost,  usually  the  details.  We have some advice.  It is to simply slow
down.                                                 (Mercury in Pisces)

You have a  communication  problem.  What  we  are  saying  is  that  you
interchange information very poorly.  This is due to the fact that you do
not  listen.  You tend to speak non-stop.  The only way anyone is able to
converse with you is for them to  continually  interrupt.  On  the  other
hand,  you  think nothing of interrupting their flow of words.  We have a
few suggestions.  Instead of bursting forth with everything you  know,  a
better  approach  is  to  say  a sentence.  Then pause.  If anyone starts
speaking, then let them finish before resuming your idea.

You are a speedy  expert.  What  we  are  saying  is  that  you  jump  to
conclusions.  If you think we approve,  you are in error.  You see,  when
you reach a verdict rapidly, we can only assume that you did not consider
all  of  the  facts.  We  have  some  advice.  Instead  of  racing  to  a
judgement,  a  better  approach is to carefully analyze all that you know
about the situation.  Then,  when you have decided,  do not proclaim your
result,  but  rather  ask  someone  else  their  opinion.  If  it differs
substantially from your own,  inquire  how  they  reached  it.  You  will
usually  discover that you would have concluded the same thing if you had
included the information they used.              (Mercury sextile Saturn)

You believe in speedy justice.  It is not that you are a  vigilante,  but
rather  you  feel  a  trial should be held before all of the evidence has
gone stale.  We have no quarrel  with  avoiding  procrastination  in  due
process.  That is not the issue here.  Our complaint,  rather is with the
process itself.  You see, too many people feel that the strong arm of the
law is what keeps society healthy.  Nothing could  be  further  from  the
truth.  Let  us  illustrate.  Suppose that someone has committed a crime.
What usually happens is that  the  offender  is  thrown  into  jail,  and
everyone  then forgets the event ever happened.  This attitude is flawed.
The perpetrator, far from feeling any remorse,  resolves to get even with
the  society,  which seems to have been so cruel to him.  The result,  as
you can imagine, is a hardened criminal.  "So what, then, do we do?"  You
ask.  Simply this.  Instead of throwing the book at offender,  rather try
to understand his motivation for the crime.  As you gain insight into the
problem,  you may well find that,  far  from  being  a  perpetrator,  the
defendant is actually one of the victims.          (Mercury trine Saturn)
MEVE.CNJ
You have a rapid style of living.  What we are saying is that  everything
you do is done speedily.  Now,  you may think that we are impressed.  You
are wrong.  We feel that there are some things better done  slowly.  "How
can  that be?" You exclaim.  Let us demonstrate.  Suppose you are driving
in heavy traffic.  If you dart in and out,  you are likely  to  cause  an
accident,  not to mention the wrath of those around you.  "Ok,"  You say,
"One event out of thousands."  "Big deal."  You seem  to  not  be  paying
attention.  We  are  simply  showing  that  speed is not always an asset.
Perhaps another example will clarify this.  When  you  are  working  with
others,  and you are zipping right along,  there are two things which may
happen.  First, you may alienate your fellow workers,  by appearing to be
superior,  and second, the quality of your work may suffer, if you do not
take sufficient time to insure that it is properly done.

You are a traveler. What we mean is that you have a restless desire to go
to far away places.  Now there is nothing wrong with  seeing  the  world.
That   we   leave   you   to  enjoy.   Our  quarrel  with  you  is  about
responsibility.  You may ask at this point,  "What  is  the  connection?"
"They  seem  to be two separate topics to me." That is precisely what are
addressing, namely,  that you do not travel responsibly.  Let us explain.
When  you decide to go somewhere,  you drop what you are currently doing.
Not only that, but you rarely make any plans concerning your trip either.
The issue then comes down to  planning.  A  few  words  of  advice  here.
First,  when  the  idea  of  going somewhere initially crosses your mind,
instead of rushing out  to  buy  tickets,  consider  a  few  things.  Ask
yourself  a  few questions.  "What will I see when I get there?"  "Is now
the best time to go?"  "Do I have obligations that will interfere?"   And
finally  ask,  "Can  I reasonably commit the resources required,  at this
time?" When you have successfully answered these interrogations, then all
that we have to say is, bon voyage.               (Mercury sextile Venus)
MEVI
You are quick to find fault in  others.  Instead  of  using  your  shrewd
eyesight  to  examine other people's flaws,  you would be wise to turn it
inward on yourself.  You were given keen insight in  order  to  learn  to
discriminate,  that is, in order to determine the difference between pure
and impure.  Once you have determined which is which, then the next  step
is to adopt the pure and discard the impure.  This sounds simple,  and it
is.  There is a catch,  however.  It requires that we make changes in our
lives.  That  is  the  thorny  part.  Most  of  us  are  reluctant  to be
different  than  we  were  in  the  past,   for  this  requires  that  we
acknowledge,  that  we  were less than perfect.  What we don't see in our
procrastination,  is that we are withholding that very perfection  we  so
desire.  The challenge then, is to get on with it.     (Mercury in Virgo)

You believe that  your  feelings  are  the  only  ones  that  matter.  We
completely  disagree.  You see,  your feelings are very important to you.
We have no quarrel with that.  Where we do have a complaint is with  your
attitude toward others feelings.  They may consider them to be crucial as
well.  Is there a conflict here?  Not necessarily.  The only time a clash
occurs is when your feelings do not coincide.  "But,  isn't it rare  that
two people's feelings are the same?"  You ask.  Not at all.  In  fact  it
unusual for them to be different.  Let us explain.  For instance, suppose
that  you  are angry.  What generally happens is that anyone you speak to
also becomes irate.  This then is your clue.  Since, we assume,  that you
do not enjoy being wrathful,  then you can consider that the other person
does not either.  So,  the solution then is to simmer down,  and you will
find that you both get along much better.       (Moon in the First House)

You are one of those people who never seem to  have  quite  enough,  even
though what you have is considerably more than your friends.  The problem
here  is  simple.  You have the idea that material wealth means security.
We regret to inform you that this conviction is totally  erroneous.  What
you want is security, and that can only come through self assurance.  You
see,  that  all  the  wealth  of  king  midas,  means nothing,  if it can
disappear in the twinkling of an eye.  What you want is something you can
really count on,  when the  chips  are  down.  And  that  my  friend,  is
something you already possess,  namely, your own ability.  So, the advise
then,  is to simply enjoy life,  knowing that whatever it throws at  you,
you can handle.                                 (Moon in the Tenth House)
MO11
You are unusually sensitive.  This is not  to  be  confused  with  hyper-
sensitive.  By  unusually,  what  we  mean  is  that you are sensitive in
bizarre areas.  For instance,  you may have a middle toe  that  even  the
pressure  of a sock is painful.  Because of this,  you may have developed
some strange habits.  Other people may consider you odd, and in many ways
you are.  Is there any hope for  you  then?  Certainly.  The  first  step
then  is  to identify those areas which are tender.  We are not referring
to  just  the  physical  body,  but  subject  areas  which  cause  mental
discomfort as well.  Even particular people,  places,  objects, or events
may be involved.  You may be labelled by your friends as  having  phobias
of  various  sorts.  Once you have pinpointed the problem area,  the next
step is to work on a solution.  Specifically,  what you need is a  method
of living which is as normal as possible, without causing discomfort.

You have strong feelings.  In other words, you want to have your own way.
We have news for you.  Most other people you meet will not tolerate this.
"Is there a solution?"  You ask.  Certainly.  You can have what you  want
as  long as it does not interfere with others.  If what you desire causes
a conflict,  then the best proceedure is to offer a compromise,  so  that
both parties each get some of what they want.
                                               (Moon in the Second House)
MO3
You think of feelings.  In other words,  you  are  considerate.  We  feel
this  is  a fine trait,  and wish more people would share it.  We do find
fault,  however.  You do not take care of yourself.  Let us explain.  You
see,  when you are concerned about others,  there is sometimes a conflict
between their feelings and your own.  What you do is to  sacrifice  yours
in order to avoid hurting theirs.  This is not good.  When you allow your
feelings  to  be trampled,  what you are really saying is that you do not
consider yourself to be very important.  We violently disagree.  You  are
every bit as important as anyone else!          (Moon in the Third House)
MO5
You wear your feelings on  your  shoulder.  By  this  we  mean  that  you
advertise  your  feelings.   There  is  nothing  wrong  with  this.   Our
complaint, rather,  is that you expect the same from others.  Many people
feel  quite  differently  about  this.  You see,  our emotions are a very
personal thing.                                 (Moon in the Fifth House)
MO6
You feel incapacitated.  What we are saying is that you feel helpless  to
change your current situation.  We have  a  few  suggestions.  Generally,
when people feel powerless,  what they are really doing is making excuses
to themselves.  You see,  we each have the ability to do  the  things  we
know  we  should  do.  Doing them,  however,  is another story.  It seems
easier to slide along and let others take the responsibility.  This is an
illusion.  The reason is simple.  We are the only ones who know  what  is
best for ourselves.  Even if we can find someone who will take charge, at
best  he  can  only  guess  what you need,  and many times he may have an
agenda of his own, which only marginally includes your needs.  Our advice
then is to get off of your fanny, and get with the program!
                                                (Moon in the Sixth House)
MOAQ
You feel unusual.  What we are saying is that you have strange  feelings.
For example,  suppose that you are doing your favorite activity,  and you
find that instead of feeling pleasure,  you rather feel  disgusted.  What
is the problem, then?  It is simply that you have assumed that, what once
gave you pleasure,  will always be that way.  This is not necessarily so.
Let us explain.  You see,  when you experience something  for  the  first
time, the sense of adventure provides excitement.  Then, unless there are
other  attractions,  each  time  you  repeat  it,  it simply becomes more
boring.                                                (Moon in Aquarius)
MOCAN
Your are one of those people who are ultra sensitive.  This  affects  you
in several ways.  First,  other people do not understand why you react as
you do,  to what to them is something very ordinary.  In  order  to  deal
with this, the best approach is to tell them that even though it may seem
unimportant  to them it matters very deeply to you.  If this does not get
their attention, then you need to take more drastic steps,  namely,  that
these  values  are  so important to you that you would rather give up the
relationship than have your values tarnished.  If that should prove to be
ineffective,  then you have already set the  stage  for  terminating  the
relationship.  Second,  since they do not understand what makes you tick,
you have two choices.  Your first choice may be to ask them to be patient
while  you  attempt to demonstrate what is important to you.  Your second
choice may well be to find a partner who  is  more  sympathetic  to  your
cause.  Even  though  it  may  initially seem more difficult,  the second
choice is actually easier.                               (Moon in Cancer)
MOCAP
You  are inflexible.  What we mean is that you find it difficult to adapt
to changing circumstances.  We have  some  tips  to  help  you  to  bend.
First,  when you find yourself in a situation that is not turning out the
way you thought it would,  instead of forging on with the original  plan,
stop  and  think.  Second,  if  you  have  an  opportunity,  discuss your
bewilderment with another individual.  Third,  listen to what he  has  to
say.  If his explanation seems to account for the difference, then modify
your  plan  accordingly.  If,  however,  he  is  equally baffled,  or his
explanation does not make sense to you,  then,  try  discussing  it  with
someone  else.  Eventually,  you  will locate someone who can explain the
event to your satisfaction.  Then, it is merely a matter of incorporating
his logic into your plans.                            (Moon in Capricorn)
MOJU.TRI
You feel happy.  In other words, you dwell on only the positive.  You may
think this is a commendable trait.  We disagree.  You see,  when you look
at the world through rose colored glasses, you miss out on what is really
happening.  Let  us  illustrate.  Suppose  that you are slighted.  If you
simply assume that the person who insulted you really did  not  mean  it,
then  you deny yourself the opportunity for improvement.  Many times when
people issue  harsh  words,  there  is  ample  cause.  When  you  do  not
ascertain if the fault is yours, then you may continue to err.
                                                     (Moon trine Jupiter)
MOMA.SQR
You are a domestic fighter.  What we mean is  that,  you  are  constantly
engaged in battle on the home front.  Your problems around the house seem
to be coming out of the woodwork.  So, you ask, "Can things be smoother?"
Certainly!  Let us show you.  For example, if you are mowing the lawn and
you notice a stone in the grass, instead of becoming angry at the kid who
may have thrown it there,  simply reach down and toss it aside.  You see,
becoming upset over such trivia can only result in ulcers.  It serves  no
other benefit.  A second illustration would be,  if you are doing chores,
and the telephone should ring,  don't speak harshly  at  the  caller  for
interrupting  you,  for he had no way of knowing that he was interfering.
Rather, the best approach would be to indicate that you are busy now, and
that you will call back later.  This  accomplishes  two  objectives.  The
first  is  that  it  subtly alerts your friend of his intrusion,  and the
second is that you are only momentarily delayed in your task.  Now for  a
more  complex  situation.  Let  us say that you are taking a bath and the
doorbell rings.  Your ire may flare at the idea of having to get out, dry
off,  dress and see who is there.  Instead,  why not  simply  ignore  the
ringing.  If it is really important, the person outside will persist, and
you  will  realize  that it is wise to suspend the bathing.  On the other
hand, perhaps it was just someone who decided to drop in to chat.  Again,
the  message that you have relayed is that you are currently unavailable.
                                                       (Moon square Mars)

You are a sympathetic warrior.  In other words,  you believe in  fighting
for  a  cause,  but  you  don't  want anyone to get hurt.  Well,  we have
trouble identifying with you on this one.  It seems to us that you are in
the middle of a thorny paradox.  You are one of those people,  who,  want
to  have their cake,  and eat it too.  Your best course of action,  is to
drop the idealism,  and come back to reality.  What you  need  to  do  is
decide  what  is  important  to  you,  and  let the other one go.  If you
continue to vacillate,  both sides will assume that you are the enemy and
you will not get either one.                            (Moon trine Mars)
MOME.OPP
You are a quick domestic.  Let us explain.  What we mean is that when  it
comes  to  chores around the house,  you are as speedy as they come.  Now
you  may  think,  "Wow,  they  think  I'm  great."  We haven't  finished,
however.  Just because  you  are  rapid,  does  not  mean  that  you  are
thorough.  That,  then,  is actually the problem.  You have this attitude
that once over lightly is good  enough.  Talk  about  sweeping  the  dirt
under  the  carpet,  you  barely even move it to one side.  What you need
then, is an inspector.  One who will go around after you pointing out the
areas that you missed.                          (Moon opposition Mercury)
MOME.SEX
You are highly emotional.  In other words,  your feelings change quickly.
We  have some advice for you.  When you first notice a feeling,  stop and
think.  Ask yourself if what you are  experiencing  is  genuine.  If  you
feel  that  it  is,  then  notice  how long it lasts.  If it subsequently
disappears,  then you know that it was not a real emotion,  and  you  can
resolve to ignore it in the future.                (Moon sextile Mercury)
MOME.TRI
You are one of those people who seem to have it made.  By  this  we  mean
that  other  people are unaware of whatever difficulties you may be going
through.  This is unfortunate for them,  because they try  to  copy  your
life  style.  But,  like  all copying,  the copier hasn't got the vaguest
notion of how the original  came  to  be.  So,  in  his  zeal  to  attain
perfection, the imitator can never get it quite right, and thus, ends up,
not as an admirer,  but as an adversary.  This is where you come into the
picture.  Because he has not been  successful,  he  erroneously  believes
that somehow,  you are trying to trick him.  Furthermore, if that weren't
enough,  he also believes that he is also  the  cause  of  your  apparent
success.  Well,  you can guess where this leads,  namely, that you have a
built in fountain of filthy gossip everywhere you turn.  So,  how do  you
get  out  of  this mess?  It is not as difficult as it seems.  Instead of
trying to counter the gossip head on, use the indirect approach.  By this
method,  what you gain is not having to defend yourself,  which is almost
impossible anyway, and the imitator has no more material to pervert.  Now
the  details.  When  we  are  indirect,  what  we  do  is,  not  refer to
ourselves, but rather,  refer to others who may be in a similar situation
to  our own.  Now you may be wondering how to refer to someone,  whom you
really don't know.  Well,  it is simple.  That person is really yourself.
Specifically  you  say something like the following:  "I have this friend
who ...".  Then go ahead and describe your current problem.

MONE.OPP
You believe in emotions.  What we  are  saying  is  that  you  substitute
feelings  for values.  Let us explain.  You see,  when you have a feeling
about something,  it is a transient thing.  Values are things that evolve
slowly,  as the result of analyzing information.  If you confuse the two,
then what you have done is to eliminate the foundation  for  the  values.
In other words, you are wishy-washy.            (Moon opposition Neptune)
MONE.SQR
You believe in family.  What we are saying is that  you  think  when  the
chips are down, your family will pull you through.  We have news for you.
This reliance on others is irresponsible.           (Moon square Neptune)
MONE.TRI
You feel perfect.  We are not commenting on  your  health,  but  on  your
attitude.  What  we  are  saying  is  that  you  feel  you have no flaws.
Naturally,  we disagree.  This is simply because everyone has flaws.  Let
us explain.  For instance,  you are able to see quite clearly the defects
in others.  We have  news  for  you.  They  can  see  your  imperfections
equally easily.  If you are interested in self improvement,  then, a good
approach is to ask others what they see in you  that  they  feel  can  be
remedied.                                            (Moon trine Neptune)
MOPL.OPP
You feel secretive.  What we are saying is that consider your affairs  to
be private.  We have no complaint with that.  Rather,  what we take issue
with,  is your prying into those of others.  You see,  other  people  may
well have the same feeling.  For example,  suppose that you meet a friend
that you have not seen in some time.  Instead of allowing him to tell you
the things he feels may be of interest to you, what you do is immediately
assault him with a barrage of questions.  What happens then,  is that the
friend then withdraws,  feeling that all you want,  is to pick his brain.

MOSA
You have extreme feelings.  By this we mean that your  emotions  are  not
mild.  When  you  feel good,  you feel excellent,  but when you feel bad,
then you are miserable.  We have  a  solution  to  these  wide  emotional
swings.  It  is  simply  paying  attention  to  them.  You see,  they are
telling us what to do.  When you notice that you feel good, then note the
activity that you are doing.  Plan similar activities for the future.  On
the other hand,  if you notice that you feel bad,  then stop what you are
doing,  and resolve not to do it again.  In this way, over time, you will
find that your emotions have become more moderate.  (Moon in Saggitarius)
MOSA.CNJ
You  control  your  emotions.  In  other  words,  you  do  not allow your
feelings to show.  We feel this  is  in  error.  You  see,  feelings  are
contageous.  When we are happy,  then we help to make others gay as well.
On the other hand,  if we are sad then others may well inquire about  our
condition  and  offer  assistance.  If  we  hide our feelings then we are
denying ourselves that interaction.                (Moon conjunct Saturn)
MOSA.TRI
You  feel  authoritative.  This does not necessarily mean that you are an
expert,  however.  The problem then,  is to determine when your level  of
expertise,  is sufficient to be an  authority.  It  is  not  really  that
difficult.  You see, when someone is proficient, most people who interact
with him realize this.  This is not because  he  continually  brags,  but
rather  that  he understands the situation,  and is able to deal with it.
So, instead of boasting of your abilities,  the best procedure then is to
quietly do what you know how to do.                   (Moon trine Saturn)
MOUR.SQR
The problem that you have is very simple.  You  hate  the  feelings  that
others  sometimes  show.  Since it is difficult to avoid situations where
people may show their feelings,  the best plan is to learn how to  handle
them.  A  little lesson is included here.  First,  there is nothing wrong
with showing feelings,  in fact it is beneficial,  because,  hiding  them
only  makes  the  situation  worse.  Second,  some people are more keenly
aware of their feelings than others.  Because of this, these people would
be unable to hide them even if they tried.  Third,  in order for a person
to exist,  he must have feelings.  Fourth, the purpose of feelings, is to
make us aware of our emotions, in other words, that we are happy, or sad,
or whatever.  Fifth,  if we know when we are happy,  then we can plan our
lives  so  that  these  happy states may occur frequently.  If we are not
aware of this,  then we sail through life missing all of the fun.  Sixth,
when  we  do  not  pay  attention to our feelings,  then life takes us by
surprise, and every day becomes a brand new experience. Seventh, when you
have no continuity,  then  you  have  no  reference.  When  you  have  no
reference,  then you are lost,  and stumble through life in a meaningless
fashion.  Eighth, you should be getting the point by now.

MOUR.TRI
You feel bizarre.  By this we mean that you have  strange  feelings.  For
instance,  suppose  that  you  have just begun a new project.  Instead of
feeling enthusiastic, however,  you find that you feel sad.  Why is this?
It  is simply that you initiated something that your heart was not really
in.  In other words,  you did not feel that elated about it in the  first
place!  In  the  future  then,  the best course of action is,  instead of
plunging  headlong  into  a  new  activity,  stop  and  think.  "Is  this
something that I really  want  to  do?"  If  the  answer  is  not  firmly
positive, then reconsider your plan.                  (Moon trine Uranus)
MOVE.CNJ
You are romantic.  In other words, you see the world through rose colored
glasses.  We have news for you.  Reality is not that beautiful.  You see,
when you look  at  only  one  side  of  an  issue,  your  perspective  is
distorted.  By  seeing  only  what  you want to see,  you are denying the
other side of the scale.  We have some suggestions.  First, when you have
a hint that things may not actually be as nice as you thought,  stop  and
consider.  Ask yourself,  "Is  the  situation  really  that bad?"  If the
answer is affirmative,  then you are wise to avoid it and  go  elsewhere.
On the other hand,  if the result is negative, then resolve to endure it.
You may learn something.                            (Moon conjunct Venus)
MOVE.SQR
You  have  a  problem.   Specifically,   your  problem  is  dealing  with
interpersonal  relationships.  In  other words,  you don't get along very
well with others.  What you need to do,  is to put yourself in the  other
person's shoes,  and look at the world from his viewpoint.  The way to do
this is  to  continually  ask  how  the  other  person  feels  about  the
situation,  and then follow up by expressing your own feelings.  What you
will soon find is that the other person,  far from being strange,  thinks
very  much like you do,  the difference being not in the process,  but in
the facts taken into consideration.  Once you realize this, then, getting
along only requires that you consider that you may not have  all  of  the
facts  yet.  When  you  get more facts,  then it is simple to accommodate
them into your philosophy.                            (Moon square Venus)
MOVE.TRI
You are gentle and loving.  What we mean is that you are very easy  going
and  can easily get along with most people.  So,  is life a bed of roses?
Well,  we suppose it is,  if you include the thorns.  The prickly  issues
are  what we will be addressing here.  Because you are so casual,  people
take you for granted,  and sometimes even set you up as their  patsy.  It
is not that you have done anything to deserve this,  but rather, what you
have not done,  that is the  problem.  You  fail  to  protect  your  self
interest.  What  do  we  mean?  Simply  this.  Life  is  not all love and
kisses.  In other  words,  there  is  meanness  and  ugliness  out  there
Dorothea,  not  just  a yellow brick road.  "But," you exclaim,  "Life is
supposed to be beautiful."  We  hate  to  disagree,  but  we  have  found
nothing  in  the  rule  book  to  indicate that.  All that we are saying,
really, is that if you do not want life to rain on your parade,  then you
better bring an umbrella.                              (Moon trine Venus)

You are finicky.  In other words,  you pick at everything.  We have  some
advice for you.  Observe how others behave and try to do the same.

NE1
You believe in yourself.  We have no quarrel with  that.  Where  we  take
issue, is your feelings toward others.  You see, your outlook tends to be
self centered, with only minimal consideration of other people.
                                             (Neptune in the First House)
NE11
You have unusual beliefs.  What we mean is that your  beliefs  are  quite
different  from  those around you.  You may find that you are left out of
activities simply because you do not fit in.  If you would like  to  join
in,  then  what  you need to do is to learn to accommodate others values.
                                          (Neptune in the Eleventh House)
NE12
You believe in yourself.  In other  words,  you  are  confident  in  your
abilities.  We think this is an excellent trait, but we do see a problem.
You have no faith in others.               (Neptune in the Twelfth House)
NE5
You believe in love.  In other words,  you  feel  that  love  solves  all
problems.  We  have news for you.  We wish it were that simple.  You see,
most of the difficulties that people have  in  getting  along  with  each
other,  are caused by differences in attitude.  When we are in  love,  we
usually  do  not change our attitude,  but rather we are so distracted by
what is happening,  that we do not bother to express our  views.  When  a
relationship matures,  then the differences of opinion arise.  The way to
deal with these viewpoints  is  through  understanding  and  negotiation,
rather than assuming that somehow infatuation will sweep them away.
                                             (Neptune in the Fifth House)

NE6
You are a finicky individual.  In other words,  you are never  satisfied.
No  matter how excellent something is,  you can always find a flaw.  Your
motto may as well be, "Anything you can do, I can find fault with."  This
is not an endearing trait.  Is there anything that can be done, then?  Of
course  there  is.  Just  stay  tuned.  First,  when  you notice what you
consider to be a defect, bring it to another's attention.  If they agree,
then your observation is valid.  If,  on the other hand,  they do not see
it as a flaw at all,  then ask yourself if maybe you are making mountains
out of molehills.  Second,  when you do have a confirmed fault, again ask
yourself, if,  considering the price,  would you be willing to do better.
If you can honestly say that your product would be better,  then bring it
to the attention of someone  in  charge,  for  you  may  have  discovered
something  that  they  did  not  know.  Most  of the time,  what you will
discover, is that not only is the product of excellent quality,  but also
that it is priced ridiculously low.          (Neptune in the Sixth House)
NE7
You  believe  in  harmony.   In  other  words,   you  desire  peace   and
tranquility.  We  think these are goals worth striving for,  however,  we
feel there is something more important.  It is your attitude that we  are
referring to.  You see, you hate discord.  When a person hates something,
it can mean only one thing.  Namely, that, the subject in question is one
that  the individual sees in himself.  Now,  applying this to disharmony,
we find that you have a conflict of your own.  Our advice, therefore,  is
to resolve your own affairs before taking on the rest of the world.
                                           (Neptune in the Seventh House)
NE8
You have a sensitive nature.  Now you may think that we are going to give
you accolades.  You are wrong.  Like everyone else,  you are not  without
fault.  But, you say,  "Sensitivity is a virtue."  Well, we hate to burst
your bubble, but there are things you should know.  The word,  sensitive,
actually  has  two  meanings.  The  first  meaning,  namely,  better than
average perception,  we have no quarrel with.  You may treasure  that  as
you  wish.  It is the second meaning that we desire to discuss here.  The
meaning connoting tenderness is the object of our discourse.  When one is
tender,  one is weak,  unable to stand without support.  Are you  getting
the message?  But, you weep back at us,  "They go together."  "You cannot
have one without the other."  We stand firm.  You have no doubt heard  of
the  iron  fist  in  a  velvet  glove?  We  need  not  elaborate,  as you
understand subtlety,  and nuance very well.  The key is caring.  When you
have  that,  you  may  be  as  firm  as  you like,  without any danger of
harshness.  Many times we assume that  meekness  is  sensitivity.  It  is
not.  Being  lily  livered  is simply hiding from commitment.  What we do
when we are passive is to turn control over to those who have conviction.
Unfortunately, their values rarely match our own,  and we become trampled
underfoot.  Note that the fault is our own,  and not in the "beast".  The
solution then is to come out of seclusion, and face the issue squarely.
                                            (Neptune in the Eighth House)

You are psychic.  By this we mean that you have access to a  sixth  sense
that is not available to most people.  Because you have this ability, you

duties is to council others who may not be as aware as you are.

You are homebound.  What we mean is that your  domestic  responsibilities

but  it does present some problems.  One of them is,  because of your low
interaction with others,  you may develop some peculiarities.  A  second,
and  more serious problem,  is that you lose touch with the mainstream of
society.  Specifically, we are referring to opinions of others.  You see,
one of the main ways we grow,  is by comparing our values with  those  of
others.  You  have  quite  a  handicap here.  "Is there anything I can do
about it?"  You wail.  Certainly.  We would not lead you on this  far  if
we  had nothing to say.  One of the best ways of increasing your level of
interaction is to invite friends over.  This not only allows you to  keep
up to date, but also shows them that in many ways, you are just like they
are.                                                  (Neptune in Cancer)
NELI
You believe in beauty.  By this we mean that  you  are  an  idealist.  We
hate to burst your balloon, and bring you down to earth, but we have some
rude  news  for  you.  Most  of the world does not operate on this level.
What we are saying,  is that,  you need to temper your head in the clouds
attitude, with some realism.                           (Neptune in Libra)

You are psychic.  By this we mean that you have access to a  sixth  sense
that is not available to most people.  Because you have this ability, you
have  also  taken  on  added responsibility.  In particular,  one of your
duties is to council others who may not be as aware as you are.

You are among those who have a great deal of  metaphysical  talent.  What
we mean is that you may have a career as an astrologer, as a palm reader,
as a reader of the tarot, or as a reader in a related discipline.  You do
not have pure psychic ability,  however,  and it would be a great mistake
to assume that you do.  You  can  be  of  considerable  benefit  to  your
clientele.  However,  with  this ability comes a responsibility.  Because
you are advising others on matters,  the significance of  which  you  may
only marginally understand,  it is imperative that you do your level best
to give the most  accurate  reading  possible.  This  does  not  mean  to
withhold information, or to paint a rosier picture than what you see, but
rather,  tell  it  like  it  is.  If you are uncertain about a particular
point,  simply tell your client of your uncertainty.  Then tell him  each
of  the possibilities,  and let him decide for himself which one applies.
This  cannot  be  stressed  enough.  Far  too  many  otherwise  excellent
metaphysicians  fall prey to the trap of playing God,  and feel that they
know more about their client than the client himself.  This practice  not
only  hurts the client,  but pushes back the growth that the reader would
otherwise have.                                   (Neptune sextile Pluto)
NESA
You are a scoundrel.  Before you commit hara-kiri,  let us explain.  What
we really mean is that you are a prankster, the instigator of impractical
jokes.  What you do not realize is that,  while they may seem very  funny
to  you,  the  butt  of  your mirth is seldom amused.  In fact,  far from
levity,  many of those whom you playfully twirl,  are quite hurt by  your
frivolity.  This  does not mean you cannot have fun.  Quite the contrary.
The world would be a sad place  indeed  if  there  were  no  gaiety.  The
problem then, is how to be jovial, without anyone getting hurt.  In order
to get a good laugh, you need a victim.  There is no paradox here, for as
any clown knows,  the most ready,  willing and able participant is always
near at hand, namely, yourself.                  (Neptune in Sagittarius)
NEVI
You believe in discrimination.  By that we mean that it is very important
for you to decide between valid and invalid.  We think this is a  healthy
trait.  We do, however, have a complaint.  You procrastinate.
                                                       (Neptune in Virgo)
PL11
You have bizarre tendencies.  What we are saying is that your  philosophy
veers  toward the unusual.  We see a problem here.  You see,  when you do
not think like those around you,  you cause confusion.  Let  us  explain.
Most people think along common lines.  When a new idea is presented, many
will  attempt  to evaluate it.  When you introduce ideas simply for their
novelty,  then those  who  attempt  to  integrate  them  into  their  own
philosophy, will find difficulty.           (Pluto in the Eleventh House)
PL3
You think a lot.  What we are saying is that you use contemplation as  an
excuse.  We  do  not think this is an endearing trait.  You see,  excuses
for actions,  or lack of action are  misleading.  It  is  far  better  to
explain the reason behind things than fibbing.
                                               (Pluto in the Third House)
PL4
Your family is dissolved.  What we are saying is that the members of your
family do not care to be around each other.  We think this is a  problem.
You  see,  when  people  do not enjoy each others company,  it is usually
because they hold different values.  Conflict then arises  whenever  they
express  their  viewpoint.  There is a solution to this problem.  Instead
of stating what you believe,  try listening to how the  others  feel.  It
may be that you find their ideas to be quite reasonable.
                                              (Pluto in the Fourth House)
PL5
You are an arrogant tyrant.  Perhaps we should clarify.  You are  one  of
those  people  who  feel that their way is the only right way.  We do not
agree.  You see, just because you have an opinion,  that does not entitle
you  to  shove it down other people's throats.  Furthermore,  even though
you obviously believe your opinions to be flawless, others may not agree.
What you need to do is,  before you proclaim that you  have  the  answer,
talk  to another about your ideas.  If that person agrees with you,  then
possibly there is some merit to your plan.  On  the  other  hand,  if  he
disagrees,  then  the  best  thing to do is to discard the idea.  We know
that seems unfair  to  you,  but  you  have  to  consider  that  anything
affecting  many people,  has to be acceptable to almost all of them.  Now
that you know that your ideas should be subject to public  scrutiny,  you
may want to make them very moderate indeed.    (Pluto in the Fifth House)
PL6
You have difficulty in deciding on a course of  action.  It  is  not  for
lack  of information,  for in most cases you are overwhelmed by it.  That
is really the problem, namely,  how to sort out all of the facts that you
have and make some sense of them.  There is hope.  In fact,  it is really
quite simple.  All you need is a little trick.  Instead of trying to sort
the info, just discard it.  By this time you may think we are crazy,  but
bear  with us.  You see,  what you have been doing,  is using a quest for
facts as a smoke screen  for  your  procrastination.  Now  that  we  have
baited  you into accepting that you are simply avoiding the decision,  we
can work on the real problem.  Generally,  people are hesitant to  decide
because  of  one  thing.  Fear!   Fear  of  making  a  mistake.  Fear  of
ridicule.  We somehow think we are in less danger from the bull's  charge
by  straddling  the fence than we would be on either side of it.  This is
in error, of course.  What we need to learn,  is that many times the only
way to learn, is simply to try something, and see what happens.  In other
words,  making  the  correct  decision  is  not  all that important.  The
important thing is to observe and act on the result!  Perhaps an  example
will illustrate this.  Suppose you are trying to steer a car down a road.
Do  you  turn the wheel to the left,  or to the right?  A silly question,
you say?  You observe which way the car is going,  and turn the  steering
wheel.  This  will work even if the steering is connected backward,  that
is,  making the car turn right  when  you  turn  left,  and  vice  versa.
Provided  the  car  is not travelling too fast,  you turn the wheel,  and
observe the results.  If you  don't  get  what  you  want,  you  try  the
opposite direction and, viola.                 (Pluto in the Sixth House)


PL9
You are extreme in your judgement.  By that we do not mean that  you  are
necessarily harsh, but rather your opinion is at one end of the spectrum,
or the other.  You have difficulty maintaining a moderate view.  We  feel
there  is  a problem here.  You see,  most people are moderate.  When you
offer  your  point  of  view,  it  usually  differs  radically  from  the
prevailing  thought.  As a result,  others consider that you are not very
well balanced,  and to some extent it is true.  We have some suggestions.
First,  before you state your beliefs, ascertain haw several others feel.
If your views are substantially different,  then inquire as to  how  they
formed  their opinions.  What you may find,  is that given the facts that
they have,  you would have also reached the same  conclusion.  The  moral
then  is  to  make  sure  that  you  have all the facts before reaching a
verdict.                                       (Pluto in the Ninth House)
PLASC.CNJ
You are fearless.  By this we mean that you do not have the fear  of  the
unknown  that  most  people  have.  This  is  an  excellent attribute for
leadership.                                (Pluto conjunct the Ascendant)
PLASC.OPP
You are fearful.  What we are saying is that you are  apprehensive  about
everyday  situations.  What  you  need  to  learn  is  that  most  of the
calamities that you fear, cannot happen.

PLCAN
You are part of the traditional  homemaker  generation.  As  the  younger
generation has reached maturity,  you have found some surprises.  They do
not have the same values.  Many of the things you  cherish  dearly,  they
consider  to be useless junk.  Likewise,  their morals have been shocking
to you.  This is because you were brought up in a  domestic  environment,
where  the  family  was of paramount importance.  The younger generations
hardly  even  know  their  closest  relatives,   much  less  display  any
attachment.  The  thing  for you to remember is,  it is not that they are
right,  nor are you correct.  It is just the way it is.  When the younger
generations  reach  your age,  they too will be dismayed at the values of
generations younger than they.  It is simply  the  cycle  of  life.  Each
generation does its thing, leaves its mark, and moves on.
                                                        (Pluto in Cancer)
PLGE
You belong to communicating generation.  People your age feel that if  we
can just talk things over,  then things will  be  ok.  This  is  a  great
theory.  In  practice  it  hasn't  worked  that way.  This is because the
younger generations do not see things the same way.  Some feel  that  the
family  is  what is important,  and if it can stay together,  then things
will be all right.  Even younger people feel  that  world  peace  is  the
primary goal.  We could go on, but we feel that you get the point.
                                                        (Pluto in Gemini)
PLLE
You belong to a peace loving generation.  By this  we  mean  that  people
your age desire world peace.  There is a problem with this.  You see, the
older  generation  does  not  have  the  same  values.  They believe that
protecting family, home, and country are important.  If it comes to armed
conflict,  then so be it,  is their philosophy.  Talk about a  generation
gap!  Is there a way to resolve this issue then?  We  believe  there  is.
We  feel  that  honest  discussion between the two ages can go a long way
toward a negotiated settlement.                            (Pluto in Leo)
PLLI
You are a popular individual.  Before your head swells too large,  let us
explain.  By popular,  we do not mean that you are admired.  What we mean
is  that  others like to have a sucker around to clean up the mess.  Your
attitude of getting the work done is commendable,  but your doing  others
work  for  them  has  serious  flaws.  Among  the lesser flaws is that it
encourages those who should be doing the work to be lazy and avoid  their
own  responsibilities.  Now  on  to  the major errors.  With the time and
effort that you have spent meddling in other peoples affairs,  you  could
be  getting  your own house in order.  Second,  when you step in and take
charge of  someone  else's  concerns,  what  you  do  is  deny  them  the
opportunity  of  dealing  with,  and learning from it themselves.  Third,
they then tend to become dependent upon you and do not try to  do  it  by
themselves.  Fourth, because of your energy, you make the task seem to be
easier  than  it  is,  so that even if they make the attempt alone,  they
become discouraged.                                      (Pluto in Libra)
PLMC.OPP
You have the ability to produce  change.  What  we  are  saying  is  that
people  listen  to  you.  Because  this  is  true,  you have considerable
responsibility.  You see,  since you have  followers,  your  actions  are
doublely  important.  Not  only  must  you  consider  what  is  best  for
yourself,  you must take into account the effect it will  have  on  those
believe in you.                          (Pluto opposition the Midheaven)
SA10
You are a hard nosed businessman.  By this we mean that  you  have  a  no
nonsense  attitude  toward  business.  This  is  commendable.  We have no
quarrel with that.  Where we feel there can stand some improvement is  in
human  relations.  Specifically,  you  do  not  get  along very well with
people.  The problem is one of feelings.  Your attitude, that they do not
matter,  is seriously flawed.  Feelings are of paramount importance,  for
one  reason.  They  direct  our  lives!  We will elaborate.  For example,
suppose that you have an employee who does not tow the mark.  Instead  of
just firing him,  a better approach would be to talk to him,  and explain
that he is not meeting his duties.  If he disagrees, then ask him to show
you how he has fulfilled the requirements.  If he is able to do  this  to
your satisfaction, then apologize for jumping to conclusions.  If, on the
other hand, he cannot demonstrate acceptable performance, then inform him
that it is not reasonable  for  the  organization  for  him  to  continue
filling  that position.  If he takes the hint,  and goes elsewhere,  then
you have what you want, but if he refuses,  then your only choice is send
him on his way.  What you have accomplished by this,  is to spare him the
feeling that he is unworthy.                  (Saturn in the Tenth House)
SA11
You have unusual beliefs.  In other words, your values are different from
those around you.  We think this is a problem.  You see,  when your ideas
are   substantially  different  from  others,   you  have  difficulty  in
communicating.  "How can I resolve this?" You ask.  It is simply a matter
of  listening  to others.  When they say something that you believe to be
in error,  just ask how they arrived at their conclusion.  If  the  reply
seems  reasonable,  then  adopting  their attitude toward this particular
issue.  On the other hand,  if the reply seems  equally  erroneous,  then
explain your understanding of the issue.   (Saturn in the Eleventh House)
SA3
You have a quick temper.  This does not mean  that  you  hold  a  grudge.
Your  anger  flares  when  something  strikes you as unjust,  but when an
explanation is given then you back down.  What you need to  learn  is  to
wait for the explanation before erupting.  Specifically, anytime you feel
anger  coming on,  the best procedure is to stop and count slowly to ten.
If you still feel angry by the time you get to ten,  then ask the  person
who  is relating the incident,  if he feels the situation is fair.  If he
says that he does,  ask  how  he  arrived  at  that  conclusion.  If  his
explanation  invalid,  then calmly state your opinion.  If,  on the other
hand,  his  explanation  makes  perfect  sense,  ask  him  to  state  his
explanation  along  with  the incident the next time.  By this method you
will learn to avoid the anger in the first place and can  calmly  analyze
the incident on its own merit.                (Saturn in the Third House)
SA4
You are a private authority.  What we are saying is that you expound your
expertise only in the presence of family or  small  intimate  groups.  We
feel there is room for improvement here.  You see,  in the areas in which
you actually are knowledgable, others outside your group may well benefit
from your information.  On the other hand,  on  subjects  in  which  your
exposure  is minimal,  then the best course of action is to be a listener
and let others inform you, rather than vice versa.
                                             (Saturn in the Fourth House)
SA5
You are a bragging authority.  In other words, you think that you are the
expert on everything.  In truth,  your  knowledge  on  most  subjects  is
rather  limited.  You  place  yourself in this exalted position,  because
that is where you wish you were.  This  is  self  defeating,  the  reason
being,  that,  in  order  to  become  an authority,  you must first admit
ignorance.  This is because, in order to learn,  we must acknowledge that
we do not know it all yet.  If, on the other hand, we claim to know, then
we cannot learn,  because,  by definition, we already know.  It really is
not at all difficult to say  that  we  do  not  understand.  Most  people
actually  have  not  comprehended  very  much  about anything,  much less
everything.  If this sounds like a humbling  exercise,  that  is  exactly
what it is. So, be humble, and admit that you are a babe like the rest of
us, and join the university of life.          (Saturn in the Fifth House)
SA8
You envy authority.  In other words,  you wish you had more influence  on
others.  We  disagree.  You  see,  we are each responsible for ourselves.
When we attempt to assume responsibility for others,  there a  couple  of
problems.  The first is that we inhibit the learning and growth that they
may  achieve.  The  second  and more serious difficulty is that we assume
that we are more aware of  their  needs  than  they  are.  This  is  very
unlikely.  Even  if  we  attempt  to  do  what  we think is in their best
interest, we must necessarily fall short.  This is because we cannot read
their minds.                                 (Saturn in the Eighth House)
SA9
You are an extreme authority.  What we mean is that your judgement allows
for no middle ground.  We have some problems with  that.  You  see,  most
things  in  life  belong  to neither extreme,  but lie somewhere near the
center.  When you decide that something  is  at  one  extremity,  without
considering  the  possibilities in between,  you severely limit yourself.
                                              (Saturn in the Ninth House)
SACAN
You are strong willed.  What we are saying, is that when you make up your
mind to do something, nothing stands in your way.  By now you are saying,
"Boy, this is great."  "Just keep patting me on the back."  We are  sorry
to disappoint you,  but we really had intended no compliment.  Rather, we
were merely stating that neither logic nor  information  will  deter  you
from  your  path.  Like  a  flock  of  lemmings,  you follow your initial
impulse clear to the bitter end.  "Ok, so I'm not perfect,"  You exclaim.
"How  can you help me?"  We thought you would  never ask.  The difficulty
is simply with your observation,  or shall we say, lack of it.  One thing
you do when you make up your mind,  is then close  your  eyes  and  ears.
Presumably,  you  rationalize,  that  you need to be free of distraction.
Actually,  what happens,  is that,  you are afraid that you have  made  a
mistake, but, rather than admit it, you forge on, full steam ahead.  When
you have finally battered your way to a halt, you timidly ask, "How did I
get  here?" as if you had been unconscious the entire time.  You may fool
yourself with this ploy,  but it hardly cuts any ice  with  anyone  else.
Other  people feel,  quite rightly,  that you are irresponsible,  and are
reluctant to give you any authority.                   (Saturn in Cancer)
SAGE
You are a strict wanderer.  What we mean by this is that  you  have  very
definite  rules  by  which you conduct your aimless drifting.  Others may
consider you a bit odd,  and perhaps they are right.  Spending  time  and
effort  in  adhering  to meaningless regulation does seem to be wasteful.
You would be well advised to consider a useful activity  to  occupy  your
time.  Life  offers  abundant opportunities for both self education,  and
service to your fellow man.                            (Saturn in Gemini)
SAMC.CNJ
You are authoritarian.  What we mean is that  you  think  rules  are  the
answer  to mankind's problems.  We hate to disappoint you,  but,  we feel
that rules are the cause of problems.  Let us  explain.  When  rules  are
created, it is usually because some people are not behaving the way those
in  control wish.  What then happens is that the people continue in their
activities,  only now they are violating the law.  The  police  are  then
summoned,  arrests  made,  judgements  given,  and punishments meted out.
The end result is a  group  of  bitter  "criminals".  These  people  then
usually  resolve  to  get  even with those who hurt them.  We then have a
"war" between the law and the "outlaws".  So,  you see,  a small  problem
turns into a large one, all due to a rule.
                                          (Saturn conjunct the Midheaven)
SAMC.OPP
You have a problem.  You do not get along with the  authorities.  Let  us
explain.  You  see,  you  feel  that they should not tell you what to do.
Their wisdom,  or lack of it is not our concern  here,  but  rather  your
attitude.  When  you  ignore  those in control,  you may be in for a rude
awakening.  This is because those in power expect  respect,  deserved  or
not.  One of the ways they accomplish this is by making an example out of
those  who  mock  them.  They  mete  out punishment in hopes of deterring
others from disobedience.  "What is the solution then?"  You ask.  It  is
simply  this.  If their rule is moderate,  then just tolerate it.  On the
other hand, if it is extreme, then you have a choice.  You may acquiesce,
or you may rebel.  If you choose rebellion,  then it is  best  to  do  it
quietly and unobtrusively.              (Saturn opposition the Midheaven)
SANE.TRI
You believe in authority.  You  feel  that  if  it  were  not  for  harsh
treatment  by  those in control,  everyone else would simply loose all of
their values.  This is not true.  Perhaps  an  example  will  illustrate.
Suppose that you believe that it is wrong to commit murder.  Do you think
for one second that you would be tempted to kill someone, if you knew the
police  were  on  strike?  No,  of  course not!  A value like that,  once
learned,  is not abandoned.  So it is with most of our  values.  The  few
that  are  questionable  are  those  that  we are still in the process of
learning.                                          (Saturn trine Neptune)
SAPL.CNJ
You are a harsh disciplinarian.  What we mean is,  that since you learned
many  of  life's  lessons at hard knocks university,  you feel that it is
only fair that others learn  by  pain  as  well.  This  is  an  erroneous
attitude.  It has several flaws.  First,  it was hardly necessary for you
to learn in such a manner.  You have had many opportunities to  learn  by
more pleasurable methods.  Second,  even if you were taught the hard way,
that is no excuse to advocate it for  others.  In  fact,  you  should  be
thankful  that  others  do not have to experience the agony that you did.
Third, because your lessons were so excruciating, you would be wise to be
alert to any easier method of instruction.        (Saturn conjunct Pluto)
SAPL.SQR
You  are a rebellious individual.  You do not take kindly to authority or
law  and  order.   This  may   cause   you   considerable   grief,   even
incarceration.  It  is  not that you are such a terrible individual,  but
rather that you have no respect for those control.  You have some lessons
to learn.  The first is about people  in  positions  of  authority.  Most
people acquire these positions because almost everyone else believes that
the  person  believes that he is doing the honorable thing.  Whether this
is really true is not the issue here,  but  how  you  interact  with  the
established  power  structure.  The first lesson then is simple,  namely,
act in accordance with those in power.  Now,  on to  the  second  lesson.
This  is  a  lesson  in self denial,  namely that,  just because you want
something,  does not mean it is yours to  take.  A  little  clarification
here.  What  we  are  saying  is  that you are entitled to something only
under one of two conditions.  The first is that  you  have  purchased  it
with funds that you have earned.  The second is that you have received it
as a gift from one who either purchased it, or created it.

SASA
You are an extreme authority.  In other words,  you over react.  You see,
you  have  a difficult time with moderation.  We have some hints that may
be helpful.  First,  when you notice something  that  you  do  not  like,
instead  of flying off the handle,  think.  Ask yourself if the situation
is really that bad.  If the answer is negative, then just dismiss it.  On
the other hand, if you consider it to be serious,  then deal with it in a
calm but firm manner.                             (Saturn in Saggitarius)

You  control  your  fears.  In  other  words,  you deny that you have any
fears.  You may feel that this is the proper approach.  We  do  not.  You
see,  the  way  to  overcome  a  fear  is  to  face it.  When you fail to
acknowledge it,  then you cannot be rid of it,  because you have  already
declared  it  nonexistent.  On  the  other hand,  when you are willing to
expose it to the light of day,  what you will usually find,  is  that  is
simply  an  illusion,  without  any  substance.  In the case of those few
fears that do seem real,  we have some additional  advice.  Examine  each
one in turn,  and ask yourself, "What would happen if I did not have this
fear?"  If the answer is a release of some kind,  then you have found the
key.  Some fears are not that easily dealt with.  Suppose,  for instance,
that you are afraid of swimming.  Instead of jumping into  the  deep  end
and becoming terrified, a better approach would be to sit on the edge and
dangle  your  feet in the water.  When this feels reasonably comfortable,
then try sitting on the top step.  After a while,  you will find that you
are  brave  enough  to stand on the bottom of the shallow end.  The final
thing you need to do is to deliberately try to submerge your body  (still
in the shallow end).  When you have accomplished this,  you will probably
notice that your fear is gone.  Sneaking up on your most  stubborn  fears
is an effective way of dispensing with them.          (Saturn in Scorpio)
SATA
You have authority.  By this we mean that you  control  others.  We  have
some problems with that.  In order to have power over another, two things
must happen.  First, the other person must defer his judgement, and allow
you  to have it.  This arrangement assumes that you are more aware of his
needs than he is.  We find this highly unlikely.  Second,  you must  then
take control.  Again, we find this to be unsatisfactory.  You see, we are
each responsible for ourselves,  and when someone tries to take that away
from us, they deny us the opportunity of growth.       (Saturn in Taurus)
SAUR.CNJ
You are an unusual authority.  We do not mean that you are an  expert  on
many  subjects,  but  rather  your  expertise  lies  in  the field of the
bizarre.  Let us explain.  You see, one of your favorite activities is to
dig up obscure facts about rare  events.  You  seem  to  feel  that  your
appearance of being a walking encyclopedia somehow is an asset.  We  hate
to disappoint you, but the fact is, that, people tire of your trivia very
quickly.  We therefore have some suggestions.  First,  stop wasting  your
time memorizing the trite.  Instead,  your effort would be wiser spent in
activities that reap  greater  reward.  Second,  rather  than  trying  to
impress  your  friends,  it  makes  much  more  sense just to enjoy their
companionship, and do activities in which you both find pleasure.

SAUR.TRI
You are an unusual authority.  By this we mean that  you  are  an  expert
about  bizarre  things.  If you think this is a compliment,  then you are
mistaken.   You  would  be  wise  to  direct  your   attention   to   the
conventional.  You  see,  your motivation has been to impress rather than
inform.  When you focus on the more mundane, then others may benefit from
your knowledge.                                     (Saturn trine Uranus)
SAVI
You are a picky authority.  In other words you think you are  an  expert,
and  chide  anyone  who  challenges  you.  We are not impressed with your
ability.  You see, one of the ways we gain expertise, is to admit that we
don't have all of the answers,  and listen to those who might be able  to
enlighten us.  When you belittle someone,  you actually hurt both of you.
You hurt the other party by insulting his level of understanding, and you
hurt yourself by denying that he can  benefit  you.  Perhaps  an  example
will  clarify  this.  Suppose that you are a supervisor,  and one of your
people comes to you with a suggestion.  Instead of telling him  he  is  a
fool  for coming up with the idea,  first,  listen to what he has to say.
If the idea makes sense,  and is practical,  then  give  him  credit  and
implement it.  If, on the other hand, it seems to be outlandish, then ask
him  to  demonstrate  its  practicality.  If  he succeeds,  then you have
learned something,  but if he fails then he probably will recognize  that
his idea is flawed, and drop it.                        (Saturn in Virgo)
SU1
You are self centered.  What we mean is that you consider yourself before
you consider others.  We take issue with this philosophy.  You see,  when
you ignore the needs of others, you find that getting along with them can
be  difficult.  This  is because they,  in turn,  fail to acknowledge the
needs of yours.  A much better way to live is for you to listen to  those
around  you.  Where  there  is consensus,  you have harmony.  If there is
disagreement then the wisest procedure is  to  offer  a  compromise  that
will meet most of the needs of both parties.     (Sun in the First House)
SU12
You believe in yourself.  By this we mean that you are confident in  your
own abilities.  In general, we feel this is an excellent trait, but there
some difficulties.  We intend to address those here.  You see,  sometimes
we have confidence when it is not  warranted.  In  other  words,  we  are
overconfident.  So, how do you attack this problem, then?  It is not that
difficult,  really.  All  that you need is some observation.  What we are
saying is that when you attempt something,  and the result does not  turn
out as desired,  ask yourself,  "Did I really know what I was doing?"  If
the  answer  is  negative,  then  resolve  that  next time,  before I get
involved,  to  learn  the  proper  approach  beforehand.   Then  you  are
prepared.                                      (Sun in the Twelfth House)
SU2
You are status conscious.  In other words, you feel that what you have is
more important than who you are.  We couldn't  disagree  more.  You  see,
material  objects  are  good for only two things.  Their usefulness,  and
their beauty.                                   (Sun in the Second House)
SU3
You are speedy.  What we  are  saying  is  that  you  waste  no  time  in
accomplishing  your  tasks.  You probably think we are impressed by this.
You are mistaken.  You see, blinding speed is not a virtue if the quality
of the work is not maintained.  This then is your flaw.  What you  do  is
to skip over the parts that you find unappealing, leaving them for others
to redo.  There are two problems with this.  The first is that you  place
a  burden  on others that is rightfully your own.  The second is similar,
namely,  that you do not accept responsibility for the  activity.  "But,"
You say,  "If I took care of all of the details, it would take too long."
That is precisely our point.  You see,  that far from being an  efficient
worker,  you  are  a  victim  of  the  "Haste makes waste" syndrome.  Our
message to you then, is simply, slow down.       (Sun in the Third House)
SU5
You  are  a  hard  headed  individual.  What  this means is that it takes
considerable effort for others to get your attention.  You think that you
are the center of the universe,  and you cannot understand why all of the
other  people  don't  see  that.  The  truth  is  that far from being the
center,  you are  barely  even  in  left  field.  The  reason  that  your
judgement  is  so poor,  is that you simply don't pay attention.  You are
too busy  patting  yourself  on  the  back  to  notice  that  others  are
snickering behind you.  A word of advise here: Open your eyes, buster, or
you  may  wake  up  one day and wonder where everyone went.  Some helpful
tips are: 1) Listen to others.  Don't assume that they are just babbling.
2) When someone asks you a question, don't just answer arbitrarily, as if
it  didn't matter.  Give it careful consideration,  then answer.  3) When
working with others,  use your  utmost  sensitivity  to  determine  their
feelings.  Remember  that  many  other people are more sensitive than you
are,  and that their feelings can be  devastated  by  something  you  may
consider to be fairly minor.                     (Sun in the Fifth House)
SU6
You are finicky.  Specifically,  what we mean is that,  if everything  is
not just prefect,  then you are simply not interested.  If you think this
is a wonderful trait,  then you  have  some  rude  surprises  ahead.  For
example,  when  you visit friends and you notice that they have forgotten
some item which you consider to be crucial,  instead of making  an  issue
out  of  it,  simply  ask  if  you  can  get that item for them.  If they
indicate that it is unnecessary,  simply tell them it is no  trouble  for
you,  and  go ahead and get it.  You have accomplished two things by this
maneuver.  First, you have subtly shown them its importance,  and second,
you have what you want.  Now,  a more involved example.  Suppose that the
people  that you are with do not appreciate your delicate taste.  Instead
of being critical, simply observe the details of their interaction.  Then
consider whether your desire is really that important.  If you still feel
that it is,  ask if it is reasonable to have additional items  available.
If they say yes,  then suggest the desired item.  If,  on the other hand,
they feel they have everything,  then say that you have  discovered  that
the desired item works very well for you,  and would they consider trying
it.  This is not guaranteed to bring success,  but it does tactfully make
them aware of your needs, which is the whole point.
                                                 (Sun in the Sixth House)
SU7
You like beauty.  What we are saying, is that you hate ugliness.  We take
issue with you on two counts.  First,  we will consider  hate.  You  see,
when you hate something,  what you are really doing is attempting to deny
its existence.  A better thing to do  is  to  acknowledge  it,  and  then
resolve  to make whatever changes you can.  The second topic is ugliness.
Our complaint here is that it is very much  a  part  of  life.  In  fact,
there is more ugliness in the world than beauty.  Our advice then,  is to
accept the unpleasant along with  the  pleasant,  and  whenever  possible
convert that which is distasteful into something more likable.

SUAQ
You are an unusual person.  By this we do not mean superior,  but rather,
quite  different  from the crowd.  Others may consider you quite strange.
This may be either an asset, or a liability,  depending on your attitude.
If  you  insist  on  your peculiarity just to be different,  then you are
definitely in the liability category.  If,  on the other  hand,  you  are
genuinely convinced that your position is superior,  then it may be worth
pursuing further.  You see,  when you strike out on your own,  breaking a
fresh trail as it were, then you may indeed discover truth that is hidden
from  the  masses.  There are hazards connected with this,  however.  Not
insignificant is the possibility that you may lose your  way,  and  as  a
lost  party,  you  become  a burden on society.  Another pitfall is that,
while you may think that  you  have  a  clear  sense  of  direction,  you
actually end up going around in circles.  As you can see by this,  we are
not in a position to offer any guidance,  but rather wish you a  fruitful
journey.                                                (Sun in Aquarius)

You are an unusually cold individual.  By this we mean that your emotions
are so well hidden that you scarcely are aware of  their  existence.  Now
you  may  think  that  there  is  nothing wrong with that,  but we beg to
object.  You see,  our emotions serve  a  very  definite  function.  They
steer  us.  Your life,  on the other hand,  is much like a ship without a
rudder,  drifting where the winds and the currents take it.  The question
for  you  then,  is  how to bring these emotions into play.  We have some
advice to give you.  First,  whenever you notice a feeling,  think  about
it.  Try  to  discover  its  cause.  When  you succeed in connecting your
feelings with events,  then the next step is to categorize the  feelings.
Some of the possibilities are,  happy,  sad, proud, guilty, afraid and so
forth.  The third step then,  is to decide which of  these  feelings  you
like,  and which you dislike.  And,  finally,  the fourth step is to plan
your life so that the feelings that you like will be abundant,  and those
you dislike will be scarce.          (Sun in Aquarius, Moon in Capricorn)
SUASC.CNJ
You are very self centered.  By this we mean that you think primarily  of
yourself. "Doesn't everyone?"  You ask.  No, they don't!  Let us explain.
You see,  most people think both of themselves and others  in  about  the
same way.  They consider others feelings as well as their own when making
decisions.  One of the benefits of this is that others then tend to treat
each  other  in  the  same  way.  A second benefit is that you learn more
about your own feelings by being considerate of others.

You know who you are.  In other words,  you are aware of your life  path.
This  does not,  however,  mean that you are necessarily in tune with it.

SUJU.SEX
You are lighthearted.  What we are saying is that you do not  delve  very
deeply  into anything.  If you think this is an asset,  then we have news
for you.  It is not.  You see,  when you superficially skim the  surface,
you  miss most of the substance.  Let us explain.  Most topics require an
in depth analysis in order to get  at  the  core.  If  you  confine  your
interest  to the periphery,  then you receive mostly dross,  not the real
thing.                                              (Sun sextile Jupiter)
SUJU.TRI
You are happy.  What we are saying is that you do not let  life  get  you
down.  For  the  most part we feel this is a healthy attitude,  but there
are some pitfalls.  You see,  you tend to ignore the  negative.  We  have
news  for  you.  Most  of the growth people experience comes from dealing
with unhappy conditions.  This is because,  when we  are  happy,  we  are
unwilling  to  do anything that might terminate this state.  On the other
hand,  when we are sad,  or in pain,  we feel that things cannot  be  any
worse, so why not experiment.  Some of these trials result in revelation.

SULE
You are a braggart.  What we mean is  that  you  cannot  praise  yourself
enough.  Not  that  anyone  cares,  mind you.  In fact,  others find your
drivel quite boring.  Since you are so great at praising,  you  would  be
well  advised  to  direct  it  to  those  who  indeed  are  worthy.  This
accomplishes two goals.  The first is that it gives credit to  those  who
otherwise  may  go unnoticed,  and second,  is shifts your attention away
from yourself.  You see, as long as we are thinking of only ourselves, we
are unable to consider others.  For example,  if you boast of how great a
lover  you  are,  how does your mate feel?  We will tell you,  since your
partner has probably melted  into  the  wallpaper  at  this  point.  Your
spouse is very embarrassed, to say the least.                (Sun in Leo)
SULEMO.CAP
You are a wonderful authority.  What we mean is that is your  opinion  of
yourself.  Not everyone would agree.  You see,  you have this fixation on
yourself,  as the only one who knows anything.  A little  humility  would
serve  you well.  There are plenty of people in the world,  who know more
than you do.  Now that we have deflated your swollen  head,  we  can  get
down  to  business.  What  we  have  to  say  to you can be summarized as
follows:  "You have an inferiority complex."  Your boasting is  simply  a
technique  to  hide  a  fundamental  insecurity.  Now  that your cover is
blown, what do you do?  The first step is to acknowledge the problem. You
are now more than halfway toward the solution.  The rest is easy.  Let us
explain.  When you try to hide something, the location of that article is
foremost in your mind.  So it is too, with your self esteem. When you can
admit  that you are less than prefect,  then you are free to examine your
flaws.  As long as you deny them,  then you are helpless to remove  them,
because,  by  definition,  you don't have any.  You have this hangup that
says that in order to be strong,  you cannot  show  any  weakness.  Well,
just like a chain,  that is only as strong as its weakest link, by hiding
the weakness,  it can never strengthen.  Rather,  the best approach is to
examine the defect and attend to its repair.

SULI
You love  balance.  In  other  words,  you  think  everything  should  be
balanced.  We  have no quarrel with that.  Where we do find fault is with
the way you treat others.  You see,  you expect them to be perfect.  What
is  wrong  with  that?  It is simply that it is not reasonable to require
perfection from others.  Just as you have flaws,  so do others,  although
they  may not be the same ones.  The proper attitude then,  is to attempt
to correct your own faults.  Then you can help others by setting  a  good
example.                                                   (Sun in Libra)

You are emotionally stable, but intellectually flighty.  This presents
some problems.  You see, you have difficulty in concentrating for long
periods of time.  You become restless.
SUMA.SQR
You have frustrated ambitions.  Let us explain.  You see,  you find  that
the  things that you want,  you cannot have,  and the things that you can
have, you do not want.  How do you then rectify the situation?  It is not
as difficult as you may think.  The answer is change.   (Sun square Mars)
SUME.CNJ
You have a problem, namely that you cannot bring yourself to do the thing
you most dread.  This wouldn't be a problem,  except for one  thing,  and
that  is that you constantly run into situations where you must face that
dread.  There is a way out,  however,  and that is  to  simply  meet  the
challenge head on.  Whatever it is that you dread,  deliberately go ahead
and do it.  What you will find is that the dire consequence that you  had
feared,  is simply your imagination, and that the fear is simply the fear
of facing it.                                      (Sun conjunct Mercury)
SUMO.OPP
You have an emotional conflict.  What we are saying is that you  identify
with one set of circumstances,  but your feelings relate to another.  How
then can this conflict be reconciled?  It  is  not  that  difficult.  You
see,  our emotions exist in order to guide us.  What you need to do then,
is to allow your feelings to direct your life.  When you are  engaged  in
an  activity and you notice that you feel good,  then that is a signal to
frequently do this activity.  If on the other hand,  you notice that  you
feel  bad,  then  immediatly stop the activity,  and resolve not to do it
again.  After a while,  you will notice that the conflict  that  you  had
been experiencing is now greatly lessened.          (Sun opposition Moon)
SUNE.CNJ
You are a believer.  What we are saying is that you believe what you  are
told.  If you think this is a good attribute, then you are mistaken.  You
see,  you  are  gullible  and  a  target  for  the con artist.  "Can I do
something about this?" You ask.  Yes,  all it requires is a healthy  dose
of  skepticism.  It is simply a matter of questioning the information you
receive to see if it seems reasonable.  If you cannot be positively sure,
then the best approach is to obtain additional information before  making
any decision.                                      (Sun conjunct Neptune)
SUNE.SQR
You do not identify with beliefs.  In other words,  you are an  agnostic.
We feel that this attitude is flawed.  You see,  when you ask for life to
show you the path,  it may well be the road to ruin.  This is because  we
all  are  required to earn our keep,  so to speak.  If we expect it to be
done for us, then it may well happen, but not in the manner that we wish.
A better approach then,  is to adopt a set of beliefs,  and  then  modify
them as conditions warrant.                          (Sun square Neptune)
SUPI
You are universal.  What we mean is that you feel  comfortable  with  any
subject.  If  you think this is flattery then you are mistaken.  You see,
when a person has some knowledge of everything, it naturally follows that
he must not know any subject well.  This is commonly referred to as "Jack
of all trades, master of none."                           (Sun in Pisces)
SUPIMO.CAP
You are universally authoritative.  In other words,  you think  you  know
everything.  We  wish  it were true,  but sadly we must bring you down to
earth.  There are a couple of problems with your  philosophy.  The  first
is  that  far  from being an authority,  you know scarcely anything about
most subjects.  The second difficulty is more serious.  You see, when you
hold yourself up as an expert, there will be some people who believe that
you actually are.  As a result,  they will learn misinformation.  A wiser
approach  would  be to refrain from commentary about your abilities,  and
simply do what you know how to do.     (Sun in Pisces, Moon in Capricorn)

You have a desire to self-destruct.  What we are saying is that there are
times when you do not wish to remain living on earth.  (Sun square Pluto)
SUTA
You are stubborn.  What we mean is that once you make up your mind  about
something,  nothing  can  change  it.  If  you feel this is a commendable
trait,  we have news for you.  You  see,  when  you  are  presented  with
evidence that your views are in error,  and you refuse to change,  we can
only conclude that you have no desire for improvement.    (Sun in Taurus)
SUTAMO.AQ
You are a stable individual.  By this we mean that you  do  not  let  the
winds of change sway you.  On the emotional side,  however, you are quite
different.  You let the breezes of your  moods  sweep  you  into  bizarre
situations.  We  have  some advice for you.  First,  when you notice that
your mood is drifting,  stop  and  think.  Ask  yourself,  "Do  I  really
believe  that I am heading in the proper direction?"  Many times you will
find that you cannot answer in the affirmative.  If  this  is  the  case,
then resolve to reverse the situation and get back on solid ground.

SUTAMO.SA
You are posessive and have extreme feelings.  What we are saying is  that
you think that you have to have lots of material goods to feel happy.  We
do  not  agree.  You  see,  happiness  comes  to us when we are doing the
things we need to do.  If we avoid doing what we know is right,  then our
happiness  fades.  As  far  as accumulating posessions goes,  if they are
useful or beautiful then the endeavor is worthwhile.  On the other  hand,
if their only purpose is to impress others, then they should be sold.

SUUR.OPP
You are an outlandish buffoon.  Perhaps we should clarify.  We are saying
simply that you don't fit  into  any  established  category.  Before  you
proceed to strut with pride,  let us explain.  Your unusualness is not an
asset, but rather, a liability.  Most of the time,  being conventional is
better than  being  bizarre.  How  do  you  become  conventional  without
feeling  cramped?  That  is  what  we are about to relate.  The key is in
attitude.  Specifically, you have the idea that to be different, just for
its own sake, is virtue.  We strongly contest that premise.  You see, one
of our lessons in life,  is to learn to get along with each other.  If we
are vastly different from each other,  then existing in harmony is nearly
impossible.  If,  on the other hand,  we are almost the  same,  then  any
friction  only arises out of our differences.  Now we are not saying that
you should strive to become a robot, doing everything by the numbers, but
rather that you should accommodate others.  We  have  no  complaint  with
variety,  for  it is the spice of life.  For instance,  if you want to do
something a particular way,  and it is not what others  consider  normal,
what  you  do  is  to cause them to adjust their behavior in order not to
interfere.  "What is wrong with that?"  You say.  The problem is that you
are contributing not to harmony, but to discord.  (Sun opposition Uranus)
SUVI
You need to  find  your  sense  of  direction.  In  particular,  what  is
required  is  that  you  identify  the  important  elements in your life.
Furthermore there is an additional requirement, namely, that you find out
what life itself is all about.  This sounds like a tall order, but really
it is not.  It simply means that you must discover for yourself, "What is
it all about?"  Taking someone else's word for it, even if it is a highly
regarded "authority", doesn't count.  You must do it for yourself.
                                                           (Sun in Virgo)
SUVIMO.AQ
You are unusually picky.  By this we do not mean that you  are  extremely
fastidious,  but  rather  that  you  pick  your nits in bizarre ways.  An
example or two may illustrate this.  Suppose that you have a favorite way
of doing things,  and someone interferes.  Instead of saying "Excuse me,"
What  you  do  is  to  crab  on  endlessly about how congested things are
becoming.  Now the other person may not have any idea  of  what  you  are
talking  about.  A  second example then is,  if you are planning an event
and you discover that your favorite activity will have to  be  curtailed,
then,  rather  than  moaning  and groaning about never having things work
out, you would be well advised alter your plans.

You are a diligent worker,  paying close attention to  every  detail.  In
most  cases this is an excellent trait,  but at times others may see your
fastidiousness as being simply picky,  picky,  picky.  When this  occurs,
the  best approach is to let some of the details go by and just be one of
the gang.  You need to realize that,  since no one is  perfect,  ignoring
some of the details is considered normal and only human.  The reason that
you  are  fascinated  by  detail,  is  that  you  are  trying to learn to
discriminate, that is, to tell the difference between the important,  and
the  unimportant.  In  particular,  what  you need is a road map of life,
with the detours clearly marked.  Unfortunately,  there is no such thing,
the reason being, that, what is a detour to you may very well be a garden
path to another.                           (Sun in Virgo, Moon in Cancer)

You are a tyrant.  What we mean is that you have to have your way at  all
cost.  It  is  not that you always deserve it.  On the contrary,  much of
the time you not only do not deserve it, but instead, should be chastised
for your poor behavior.  So,  how do you clean up your  act?  First,  you
need to acknowledge that other people have rights too.  Second,  although
you may have many good ideas,  just because you have an  idea,  does  not
make it good.  What we are saying is listen to others.  Then you are in a
better  position evaluate your own plan.  If it should turn out that your
plan has flaws,  do not hesitate to amend or discard  it.  On  the  other
hand,  if your plan seems to be superior then, instead of implementing it
immediately,  let others comment on it.  It may be that they can  find  a
flaw that you missed.                   (Sun in Virgo, Moon in Capricorn)
SUVIMO.VI
You are indecisive.  What we are saying is that you procrastinate instead
of making decisions.  If you think we are going to praise you, you are in
error.  You see,  when you postpone making up your  mind,  what  you  are
doing is attempting to avoid the possibility of mistake.  It doesn't work
that  way.  By  deferring your judgement,  what you are actually doing is
letting others make the decision.  We have some advice.  Pick the one you
feel best about.  If after some time, it seems that you have erred,  then
simply  take  note,  and  consider  the  additional  facts  you now have.
Eventually you will find that you are  correctly  deciding  most  of  the
time.                                       (Sun in Virgo, Moon in Virgo)

You have a bizarre sense of humor.  What we mean is  that  you  laugh  at
things other people do not find funny,  and are not amused at many of the
things others find hilarious.  Don't  just  reconcile  yourself  to  just
being  different.  There  is a serious problem here.  When you are unable
to enjoy others mirth,  you have denied yourself a significant portion of
life.  It  does  not end there,  however.  An even more serious matter is
that,  when you chuckle at others when they see no levity,  what you  are
doing is really insulting them.  Let us explain.  For instance,  lets say
that you find it humorous when another person hurts  himself.  The  other
person,  upon discovering this,  feels that you actually want him to have
pain.  He,  in turn,  then  becomes  vengeful  toward  you,  because,  he
considers  you an enemy.  Now,  see what you've done?  You have turned an
everyday event into an angry confrontation,  simply over an inappropriate
chuckle.  How  then,  do  you reverse this?  We will demonstrate.  First,
when you notice an event,  think,  how would I feel if it happened to me.
If it would tickle your fancy,  then by all means, let out a belly laugh.
If,  on the other hand,  you end up with a more somber feeling then,  let
that  feeling  show  too.  You  will find by this process,  that you then
begin to tune in your feelings,  and  you  will  find  yourself  enjoying
others gaiety, and participating in their sadness as well.

UR2
You have unusual ideas.  What we are saying is that you have some bizarre
notions about life.  Is there any difficulty with this?  We think so. You
see, when your viewpoint is substantially different from others, you have
trouble getting along.  The solution, however, is quite simple.  All that
you  have  to  do is listen to others values.  Then adopt those that seem
reasonable to you.  After a while, you will find that your ideology is in
fact mainstream.                             (Uranus in the Second House)
UR3
You are unusually communicative.  We do not mean that you talk a lot, but
rather that you speak about bizarre subjects.  We consider this trait  to
be  less  than redeeming.  Let us explain.  You see,  when your discourse
refers to the uncommon,  most people are uncomfortable.  This is  because
their  experience  in that area is quite limited.  You would therefore be
wise to limit your subject matter to issues in  which  your  audience  is
likely to be familiar.                        (Uranus in the Third House)
UR5
You love the unusual.  By this we mean that you  are  bored  by  everyday
affairs.  "Is  there a problem  with that?"  You ask.  We think there is.
You see,  when you are bored,  there is a reason.  Most of the  time  the
cause is simply that you are unwilling to do the things that you know you
should be doing.                              (Uranus in the Fifth House)
UR6
You are a first rate pest.  Let us clarify what  we  mean.  It  isn't  so
much  what you do that annoys,  but rather the way you go about it.  When
you have something that is bothering you,  you tend to  continually  nag,
instead  of  simply stating what is on your mind.  If you state your mind
then others know exactly where you stand and can  act  accordingly.  What
you  tend to do,  on the other hand,  is to moan and groan.  While others
are quite aware of your unhappiness,  in many cases they  are  completely
baffled about the cause.  So you see,  you are only hurting yourself, not
to mention all of that wasted hot air.  For example,  when you feel  that
you have been done an injustice,  instead of croaking on about how rotten
the world is,  be  specific.  Tell the person  whom you feel has slighted
you, that you felt hurt when he made his remark.  Then ask if he intended
for it to be perceived the way you took it.  Most of the  time  you  will
discover  that  there has been a breakdown in communication,  and that he
meant something entirely different.  If it turns out that you  understood
correctly,  then  it is cause for you to do some soul searching to see if
his perceptions are valid.  If they are,  then resolve not to be that way
anymore.  If  they are not valid,  then a calm discussion of the issue is
in order.  Finally, if after discussion, the issue is still not resolved,
then, and only then,  accept the fact that people have different opinions
on life, and agree not to waste any more effort on this particular issue.

You are unusually balanced.  Do not mistake this for being well balanced.
What we mean is that your sense of balance is bizarre.  Let  us  explain.
You see, your values of beauty and harmony are quite different than those
around you.  This can cause you some problems.  Others may not appreciate
those  things  that you consider wonderful.  This,  in itself,  is not so
bad.  What the difficulty is then,  is that what others  consider  great,
you  may consider to be just average.  They may then assume that you have
no taste,  and shy  away  from  you,  leaving  you  to  mingle  with  the
bohemians.  Is  there  a cure for this?  Certainly.  The wisest thing you
can do is to observe what others admire,  and then compare it  with  your
own sense.  If there is major disagreement,  then the best approach is to
humor them.                                 (Uranus in the Seventh House)
UR9
You are unusually intelligent.  Before you start feeling  too  grand,  we
must say that we do not consider you a genius, but rather that your brain
power  is  used  in bizarre ways.  Let us explain.  You see,  rather than
using your  mental  agility  on  the  conventional,  you  instead  choose
outlandish  areas.   The  reason  that  you  do  this  is  to  seem  more
knowledgeable than you  actually  are.  We  feel  that  you  are  working
against yourself in two ways.  First, those whom you seek to impress, are
really not interested anyway.  Second,  the time and effort spent on this
activity, can certainly be put to better use.

URAQ
You are an imaginative individual.  What you can do  with  your  creative
ability is tremendous.  We wish we could continue this flattery, however,
there  is  a  darker  side  to  your  nature.  Specifically,  what we are
referring to is your unusual social interaction.  By this we  mean  that,
you do not get along with the bulk of society,  but instead remain on the
fringe.  This is not good.  Not only do people consider you odd,  but you
hurt  yourself as well.  How can you remedy this state of affairs?  It is
not that difficult.  First, you need to interact.  You have a tendency to
be a recluse, and only deal with people when absolutely necessary.  A few
tips are in order.  One of the best  ways  of  initiating  dialogue  with
others  is  to  ask them to tell you what they consider to be outstanding
virtue.  This should bring a flood of information out of them.  When they
are  done,  then  tell  them what you consider to be the most commendable
qualities.  In this way,  what you accomplish is that you have  opened  a
pathway  toward  further dialogue,  and may have learned something in the
process.  After a while,  what you will discover,  is that the two of you
are  not  so  different from each other after all.  Continue this process
then, with other people as well,  and you will find that,  far from being
odd, you are well within the mainstream.             (Uranus in Aquarius)
URASC.OPP
You have a distinct manor of approaching others that some find offensive.
You would be wise to learn tact.  You have a number  of  problems,  among
them  are  inability  to see the world as others see it.  This causes you
considerable grief,  as you find yourself being constantly misunderstood.
A  second  problem  is  that you feel that you need to have your own way,
even when that presents considerable inconvenience  to  others.  A  third
problem is that you require constant praise for the things you have done,
even  when  your deeds are not that praiseworthy.

Your feelings are unusual.  By this we mean that you respond  differently
than  most  people  to a given situation.  Is there any problem then?  We
think so.  You see,  when your feelings are not synchronized with others,
then  they  may  misunderstand  your position.  In other words,  you have
failed to communicate.                                 (Uranus in Cancer)
URGE
You  are  unusually  quick.   By  this  we  do  not  mean  that  you  are
particularly  speedy,  but rather,  that,  you are rapid in bizarre ways.
For example,  you may be quite fast at reading the newspaper.  It is  not
that you really read it,  mind you, but instead you merely glance through
it.  You see, it is not information that you are seeking.  What you want,
is to impress those around you.  We have news for you.  You  are  wasting
your time.  Those whom you desire to  inculcate  with  your  virtue,  are
simply not interested.  Our advice, then, is to utilize your time in more
productive pursuits.                                   (Uranus in Gemini)

You are happy go lucky.  We don't mean to  imply  that  this  is  a  good
trait,  however.  In  fact  it  is  bordering  on the irresponsible.  The
problem is that you simply don't care.  What you need is someone that you
have to care about,  in order to teach you  to  care  about  yourself.  A
young  child  fills  this bill nicely.  As you respond to his needs,  you
will reawaken memories of those same needs in yourself.  The next step is
then to extend that awakening  to  your  current  needs.  When  you  have
accomplished this then you will discover that, far from being a noncaring
individual,  that you care very deeply.  Now,  we  don't  say  this  will
happen overnight,  but when you look back after a few years, you will see
an entirely different person.                           (Uranus in Libra)

You have unusual beliefs.  "Is this a problem?"  You ask.  We believe  it
is.  You see,  when your values are different than those around you,  you
create some problems.  Let us explain.  When people have the same values,
then they can get along with each  other  relatively  well.  If,  on  the
other  hand,  there is someone in their midst,  who believes differently,
then it is a source of friction, because they must constantly adapt their
behavior to accommodate the unusual value.         (Uranus trine Neptune)

You are unusually private.  In other words,  the affairs which you choose
to keep private are bizarre.  We have no complaint  about  your  privacy.
That  is  not the issue.  Our objection,  rather,  concerns your attitude
toward others.  Let us explain.  You see, that, just as you consider some
things private, so do others.  The difference being that they are not the
same affairs.  The best policy then,  is to assume that all  things  that
you  may know about others,  they would not like advertised,  unless they
specifically indicate that it is public information.

You are a bizarre extremist.  In other  words,  you  seek  out  the  most
unusual.  You  may fancy yourself as being clever.  We do not agree.  You
see,  most people are content with the mundane.  When  you  present  them
with outlandish notions,  you jolt their frame of reference.  This causes
confusion for some,  who try to reconcile their values with your remarks.

You are beautiful.  In other words,  you are good  looking.  We  have  no
complaint  with that.  Our concern is with your views toward others.  You
feel that they are homely.  We have some suggestions for you.  First, you
need to recognize that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  What we are
saying is that what to you seems average, may very well be magnificent to
another.  Second,  when you  pass  judgement  on  others,  then  you  are
indicating  that  you feel superior.  There are a couple of problems with
this.  You see,  everyone virtues and vices.  To assume that you have  no
flaws  is  to  mislead  yourself.  The second difficulty is more serious.
When you belittle someone,  then he may very well feel inferior.  This is
unfortunate,  for  he may indeed possess virtuosity far greater than your
own.                                           (Venus in the First House)

You have beautiful surroundings.  You are one of those people who creates
beauty.  You have a talent for taking what others consider ordinary,  and
making  it  a  work  of  art.  Now,  you  may consider that your artistic
talents are wonderful,  and to some extent they are,  but you  must  also
remember  to  be  moderate.  For  example,  suppose  that  you  decide to
decorate your home.  Naturally  you  want  the  finest  furnishings.  The
problem, that you have probably already noticed, is that elegant products
usually demand high prices.  The solution then, is to only buy a few at a
time, adding to your gallery as your finances permit.

You admire beauty.  This is great.  There is only  one  problem.  In  the
world  we  live  in,  there  is  not  very  much of it.  How then,  do we
reconcile what we like,  with  what  we  have?  It  is  not  really  that
difficult.  Instead of dreaming about how we would like things to be,  we
would be better off by creating things in the manner we would  like  them
to be.  But,  you exclaim,  there is so much that I would like to change.
True,  we agree.  The sooner you get started changing,  the more you  can
accomplish.  Actually,  there  is a hidden benefit,  namely,  the more we
accomplish,  the better we feel.  In  fact,  we  feel  better  about  our
accomplishments than we do about the beauty they exude.

You miss  beauty.  What  we  mean  is  that  you  feel  that  others  are
surrounded  by  more  beauty  than  you  are.  We  have some suggestions.
First, when you notice something that is not as lovely as you would like,
instead of complaining about it,  see what you  can  do  to  improve  it.
Second,  if it is something beyond your control, then gently ask those in
charge if they will allow you to alter it.  If they agree,  then do  your
best to make it nice.  If they disagree,  then ask if there is any way to
encourage them to beautify it.  If this does not  produce  results,  then
devise a method of obscuring it from your view.

for it is not.  We are simply saying that you have loveliness in  unusual
ways.  For  instance,  you  may  have  the prettiest elbows in town.  Are
there any words of advice that we can give then?  We would be  remiss  if
we  did  not add a caveat or two.  First,  although beauty is a desirable
thing,  it is wise not to become too enamored with it.  Let us elaborate.
You  see,  all  things  in life have their day.  The rose blooms and then
withers away.  So it is with you.  It is therefore prudent  not  to  make
too  much  of your features,  for they too,  are a passing thing.  A more
worthwhile pursuit would then be to observe the loveliness of the rest of
the world, and ignore your own qualities.             (Venus in Aquarius)

You love beauty.  In fact,  you do all in your power to  turn  everything
that you see into a work of art.  This seems like an excellent trait, and
for  the  most  part  it  is.  There is a rub,  however.  In your zeal to
create a garden of eden,  you may neglect a few  important  details.  The
first is,  contrary to popular myth,  many of the best things in life are
not free.  What we are saying is simply that your pocketbook may run  dry
long  before most of your inspiring projects have even begun.  How to get
out  of  this  dilemma?   The  answer,  naturally,  is  simple,   namely,
moderation.  You may wonder, how, with all of the ugliness everywhere you
look, can one possibly be moderate.  Necessity.  There is simply no other
choice.  We  do however,  have some tips.  First,  confine your vision to
your immediate surroundings.  It would take the wealth of midas  to  take
on the world.  Second, get the most mileage you can for your money.  What
we  mean  by  this  is  to  tackle projects that yield lots of beauty for
little expense.  For example,  a few pounds of grass seed and some  sweat
will  reap a better return than the fur of a dozen chinchilla sewn into a
coat.                                                    (Venus in Libra)

You are inconsistent.  What we mean is that on the  one  hand,  what  you
want  is ruthless power,  and on the other you desire beauty and harmony.
We hate to disappoint you,  but you cannot have it both ways.  How do you
reconcile the two,  then?  It is not that difficult,  really.  Perhaps an
example or two would suffice.  Let us say that you desire  to  control  a
situation  that you feel has gotten out of hand.  Instead of arguing over
it,  the more intelligent approach is to appeal to that person's sense of
fairness.  "How do you do that?" You say.  Simply by showing him that you
are reasonable.  In other words,  don't come in with all of the  answers,
but  rather,  ask  him what he feels the best approach is.  If he replies
with what you want, then you have avoided confrontation.  However,  if he
doesn't,  then  simply  say  that you have been thinking it over,  and it
seems to you that your plan has some merit.  If he agrees,  then you  are
home free, but if he still is unable to see your point of view, then, and
only then, remind him that you have final authority.

First,  when you feel the adrenalin begin to flow,  instead of putting up
your dukes,  stop and think.  Ask yourself, why am I doing this?  Don't I
have anything better to do?  If you really feel that this is the best use
of your time,  then you have a serious problem.  However,  if you concede
that there is a wiser thing to be doing, then tell your opponent that you
need to be going now.  Then depart!                    (Venus trine Mars)

You  have a problem.  You love wonderful things,  but you do not have the
resources to acquire them.  The problem is not in your  earning  ability,
which  is  just as good as most people.  The problem is rather in the way
you spend your money.  Your actions have given rise  to  the  expression:
"Money runs through your pockets as if they had holes in them."  So, what
to do about this spendthrift phenomena?  It is not that complex,  really.
The  problem  is  really one of desire.  What you do is,  when you see an
article,  you decide that you want to have it,  without regard to  either
need  or  price.  This  results  in your accumulating a lot useless junk.
There is a  simple  shopping  technique  that  will  help  counter  this.
Whenever you see something you like, instead of reaching for your wallet,
think!  Have  I  ever  seen  this product for sale anywhere else.  If the
answer is yes,  try to remember the quality  and  price.  If  you  cannot
remember,  then  jot  them  down  about this item,  do not purchase,  but
continue on your shopping trip.  The idea is that if you cannot remember,
then probably you have just had a fleeting fancy for this  item.  On  the
other hand,  if you can remember, then compare to see which is the better
buy.  If the other one is the better, continue on your shopping trip.  Do
not purchase either one at this time.  Instead, watch for a third similar
item.  When you have located the third item,  compare all three  to  find
the  better  value.  If at this point you still desire the item,  (it may
have faded from your fancy by now),  only if  the  current  item  is  the
better  value,  should  you make the purchase.  If it turns out that this
one is not the better value then continue on your trip,  buying  nothing.
Eventually  the desire for this item will reach the point where you will
want it bad enough to make a special trip just  to  purchase  the  better
value.  Then  go ahead and purchase the better value,  but only then.  If
you should come across additional items,  compare them as well,  so  that
when you finally do purchase,  you will have gotten the better buy of all
the items of which you know.                      (Venus conjunct Uranus)

You hate the bizarre.  In other  words,  you  are  conventional.  If  you
think this is a great attribute then you are mistaken.  You see, when you
are  narrow in your outlook,  you stifle your growth.  This is because we
learn by stretching our horizons.                   (Venus square Uranus)

You enjoy details.  We are saying that  you  love  to  drool  over  every
insignificant  piece of information that you can find.  If you think this
is a virtue, we have news for you.  The reason that you are so fascinated
by what others consider drivel is that you have the idea that it must  be
important,  since  it was overlooked by them.  What you fail to recognize
is that far from being astute,  what you are actually doing is failing to
give the major items their proper attention.  Is there a remedy then?  By
all  means.  It is simply a matter of priorities.  Instead of giving each
item equal value,  think to yourself.  If I were this person,  would this
be a milestone in my life,  or simply a quirk in life's path?  It is then
a simple matter to discard the quirks.                   (Venus in Virgo)
