Prolog

We are pleased to see that you are showing an interest in your horoscope. We use a computer
for this delicate task, but still we hope that we have been able to instill warmth and human
feeling into our interpretations.

But what is ASTROLOGY??

Some people maintain that we humans are influenced by strange forces emanating from
various planets. The popular press would have us believe that the inhabitants of planet Earth
can be divided into twelve different types that they then fill with their shallow perceptions.

Astrology can only be as competent as the people who make use of it. Astrology as such is
actually nothing more than a mathematical system, showing a person's planetary
representation at the time of birth in a 360° circle.

To accomplish this, we consider various factors. The first question to be answered is why
these creatures involved in Astrology seem to be infatuated with the exact time of birth. It is
really quite simple! We are interested in finding out which ascendant was chosen to experience
Earthly life. The twelve houses symbolize the areas of life and the ascendant is the beginning of
the FIRST HOUSE, the beginning of the chart.

What is it that awakens the chart's houses to life?

...The planets-each symbolizes a certain type of energy. Their positions within the houses
determine into which areas of life their energy is channeled. In addition, the angular
relationships of the planets to each other that are called aspects put Astrologers in the position
to make statements about the manifestation of these diverse forms of energy in the life of an
individual person.

CURIOUS? You will have to be patient a little longer!

Before we get started on your horoscope, I would like to call your attention to a small
problem. As you hold your interpretation in your hands, you may be startled to read that you
are characterized differently in the various interpretation texts - Sun in Sagittarius: you are
open, warm... followed by Moon in Capricorn: you appear cold and distanced... It is your job to
piece them together, because everyone's character is made up of different qualities and you have
learned more or less to live with these types of contradictions. Actually, it is better to be open
about contradictions in your personality, they allow for a change of pace once in a while and
also provide opportunities for growth, although not necessarily without suffering. Try to
understand of the fact that the computer does not know you and cannot possibly present a
complete picture.

For this reason, it is very important that you do not get hung up on single words or examples
in the texts and try to apply these strictly to your life. You should try to develop a feeling for the
basic energies that are manifested in an aspect or a planet and keep in mind that they may
appear in a somewhat different form in your life. Take the opportunity to discover and develop
your own form of Astrology. Here you have finally found a field that is not governed by strict
rules, but can be formed by your own individual sensitivity.
 We wish you fruitful insights!!

Chapter 1

The Ascendant - Gate to the External World

The Ascendant is the rising sign in the East at the time of birth. It metaphorically channels
our expectations of life. The first impression stays with us throughout the day, influencing each
contact and every event. The Ascendant channels all the other energies in the chart actively
working to express them. It describes the way we live our natal chart and how we confront our
environment, making up an important part of our identity.

As to the question of the differentiation between the Ascendant and the role of the Sun keep
in mind how difficult it is for us as well as for others to differentiate the expression of our
personality from our personality itself. This question can therefore only be partially resolved. It
is much more important to live the positive aspects of your sign and to bring it into harmony
with all the other energies and influences.

Your Ascendant in Virgo

Probably you are often accused of being reserved and too shy and of taking things too
seriously. You do not come on as being especially spontaneous and flamboyant. You have
trouble simply enjoying the pleasures of life without serious contemplation. This lies in your
inclination to worry too much and to always want to have an overview of everything that is
happening. This prevents you from relaxing, because your brain keeps on churning. However,
this brain has astounding capabilities. You analyze details which others have not even
recognized. Your strength is rational thinking. When you are living from your center, others can
rely on your judgement. Then you are able to organize your thoughts, refrain from pageantry
and not let yourself get distracted from your ambitions.

It may take a long time to reach this point. Your task is to accept the "chaos" principle you
run into everywhere, which lends chaos to its own kind of organization.

Overcome your resistance to ideas that you cannot understand or explain. Look inside
yourself before you jump to criticize. It is for you to learn that your standards are not the only
valid ones and that humans are not perfect machines. Try to accept life's imperfections and do
not lose sight of the whole picture by concentrating on details.

Once you have accomplished this, you have done your duty. No one is asked for more than
to find an inner balance. You will then be able to recognize what is really important in life. Once
you have been purified in this manner, you will be able to truly help others.

Your Mars in Conjunction with Your Ascendant Orb 3° 24'

 Being loaded with energy and always trying to leave an impression, you may go so far as to
meddle in other people's affairs. This will not always be to your advantage.

It is important for you to act with caution and to avoid rushing into things. A little patience
at the right time and place can have a tremendous advantage on your energetic potential. It will
not get you anywhere if people decide to avoid you because of your hot-headedness. Even if you
find it difficult you should get used to accepting compromises; people will thank you for it.

The MC

The Medium Coeli also called MC or Midheaven refers to the highest point on the chart. It
is the point of culmination where the planets reach the point on their apparent orbits highest
above the horizon. This point also forms the summit or the beginning (cusp) of the tenth house.
Directly across, the lowest point of the chart is found at the beginning (cusp) of the fourth house,
the Imum Coeli or IC. The MC generally symbolizes the consciousness while the IC represents
the subconscious.

The position of the MC on your chart can reveal how you conduct yourself in the outside
world. This includes your role in public, your professional career, and your social position and
in some cases your rate of success. The MC describes your professional orientation, where your
talents lie and how you go about planning your career. There is also information about the
relevance of other people's opinions and tells if you are persistent and/or determined.

A precise interpretation of your professional ambitions must include the positions of the
planets in the tenth house and the aspects between the rest of the heavenly bodies.

The interpretation contains a listing of professions associated with the MC in classical

Astrology. Whereby you should not consider the name of the profession as it appears in the list,
but the abilities which are relevant to each of the professional fields.

Your Midheaven in Gemini

 Your career could be characterized by constant changes. It is not particularly hard for you to
find your bearings in a temporary situation and take on new endeavors. On the other hand,
getting stuck with routine, tedious work or having to bridge dry spells in the company frustrates
you. You need constant intellectual stimulation, learn fast and are willing to devote time to
professional training. The only problem with all this stimulation is that everything interests you
and it is therefore difficult for you to commit yourself to a single goal. You may put off deciding
on a profession because within a short period of time something else will seem more attractive.
This will make it improbable that you will ever climb very high up the corporate ladder. You are
easily distracted and unable to commit yourself. Still, your career takes a back seat to
entertainment and other leisure activities.

No matter what you are doing you like to be surrounded by people and enjoy the exchange
of opinions and participate enthusiastically on whatever is going on. You are friendly with your
colleagues, occasionally spending evenings together after work.

To find out the extent of influence of these character traits, check the position of Mercury
and the Aspects between the remaining planets in your chart.

Gemini on the MC can point to a career in media, advertising, the tourism industry or in
translation. All these professions require mental flexibility and a talent for communication.

Chapter 2: The Inner You

Your Sun in Virgo

People born under the Earth Sign Virgo tend to place their professional careers first. Virgo
is the most realistic sign, which is ruled by the planet Mercury and is constantly in search of
knowledge, which can immediately be put into practice. Virgos can differentiate precisely; a
simple yes or no is never enough.

Your love of detail allows you to work with care and precision. Disorder and sloppiness only
serve to challenge you to straighten up your surroundings. You like your work, enjoy fulfilling
obligations and therefore must watch out not to let yourself be used or exploited. You have often
placed too much importance on work and have missed the pleasant side of life.
 You analyze your surroundings rigorously and are capable of losing yourself in details to the
point where you are not able to put the pieces together to make a whole. Do not forget the
importance of recognizing the essentials in life. Do not let yourself get caught up in banalities.

Practice being tolerant and be aware of the danger of taking your views too seriously. You
are capable of realizing your visions but have to learn to accept that some people have other
ways of doing things.

The sign Virgo represents health. Do not let your many worries exhaust you, this could prove
harmful to your health. Basically, worrying is pointless because you will never change the course
of events by worrying about them.

The ties between the sign Virgo and the Earth explain why you value material riches and the
comfort they bring. You look for quality when you shop and despise cheap mass-produced
items.

Even if you are not the most romantic person and pride yourself on your autonomous, single
lifestyle, you are hiding a great longing for security. You may want to reconsider your
exaggerated demands on a partner.

Women, born under the sign Virgo, dominate relationships and organize the daily routines
in the family. You have no reason to feel guilty about it; it just shows that you are prepared to
accept responsibility.

Your Sun in the Twelfth House

In humanistic Astrology, the twelfth house is a place for spring-cleaning. This may seem
confusing at first, but the twelfth house is the end of a cycle that is renewed in the first house.
Something should happen here to prepare the way for a more beautiful new beginning. The
twelfth house will also help each individual attain its highest potential, although the energies at
work here are collective by nature and serve to restrain the ego.

This recognition and mastery can be compared with untying a knot. When the ego and
communal spirit melt together latent gifts may awaken within you. You have the capacity to
pioneer new fields. Your visions of a peaceful and ecological planet Earth should definitely be
made available to others, whereby you could creatively move others through the arts. Your
ability to see beyond your own shadow enables you to recognize the needs of others and
generally lend assistance to efforts designed to rectify unacceptable conditions both in the
society at large or in your immediate surroundings. Dare to instigate reform, a time may come
when you will not have any other choice.

If the Sun has a challenging aspect in the twelfth house you may have to fight against false
pride, conceit and arrogance. This may lead you to assume that all the world's benefits are laid
out for you to take what you want with no concern for the rest of the world.

On another level, the twelfth house deals with institutions. The Sun indicates that various
institutions could eventually play a role in your life, whether professionally or privately. This
includes hospitals, charitable institutions or stations in which people are confined.

You are very sensitive and notice signals from your surroundings. This makes it necessary
for you to withdraw periodically to maintain enough distance necessary to clear your head. You
will have to watch out that the circumstances do not eat into you to the point where you are
unable to live a normal life.

Your Sun in Square with Your Moon Orb 3° 47'

This aspect causes you to sense a contradiction between your will, your subconscious, your
socialization and behavior which can make you feel deeply dissatisfied. Maybe your creative
talents lie hidden in darkness. If you cannot find emotional harmony, you will never find a
permanent solution to your problems. It is possible that your family is keeping you from
expressing your individual qualities.

Look for a means to let off steam or you will hardly experience satisfaction with your life.
You fight frequently and your defensiveness does not make your situation any easier. If you
should feel a desire to change, you will have to give up your defensive position and take the
needs of others more frequently into consideration. This requires a certain amount of effort,
only it is not clear how the end result should look. There is, namely, a wide discrepancy between
your ideal and your willingness to exert yourself in order to realize it. Be aware that the
fulfillment of your personal desires depends on your reaction to the circumstances.
 Your Sun in Sextile with Your Jupiter Orb 4° 8'

You look confidently into the future. Your personal guardian angel seems to accompany your
every step, because you only seldom experience serious difficulties. If you do ever get distracted,
you find a way out of your misery quickly, because you instinctively know how to open locked
doors.

People should benefit from your activities. In moral questions you are well versed through
your study of the realization of spiritual and humanistic principles. You know what you want
and you will realize everything you set out to do.

If you have started a family you are aware of your responsibilities and will do everything in
your power to provide your children with a loving environment to grow up in. Your remarkable
spiritual faculties will make your life pleasant. This does not necessarily imply elaborate
activities; you are satisfied with simple everyday life. Travel is important to you because you
have great interest in foreign cultures. With foreigners you enjoy friendly and intense
exchanges.

Your Sun in Trine with Your Saturn Orb 7° 16'

This trine is a sign that your pursuit of success will bring results faster than it would to
others. This is primarily because you do not mind taking on responsibility. Your outlook on life
leads one to assume that you are honest, practical and crazy. Both finances and your own energy
are used sparingly, whereby you apply both primarily to realizing practical and sensible plans.
Your power of concentration and your organizational talents are put to use in a disciplined
manner, even when you are pursuing ambitious goals; they are achieved due to sacrificial effort.

You are not necessarily lucky in a traditional sense of the word, but you tend intuitively to
do the right thing at the right time, such that you will never suffer poverty in difficult times.
Your sober rationality has put together financial reserves to get you over any time of need. You
have learned to be patient and to avoid risky enterprises.
 Your Sun in Trine with Your Uranus Orb 1° 8'

This aspect together with your creative energy will help you win people over. You are able to
tap into an energy reservoir that is not readily available to others. Sometimes problems that you
have been struggling with for a long time suddenly solve themselves. The esoteric field of study
should actually fascinate you and if you sense a desire to take a closer look at Astrology, you
should definitely follow up on it. It has already led many people to a more comprehensive
understanding of life's basic regularities.

Generally, you are open to experimentation because you know that it will broaden your
experiences. Also, you have nothing against sharing proposals you have developed with people
who are dissatisfied with the existing social conditions. However, you insist on working toward
a peaceful goal by peaceful means. In light of the wars being fought presently, your
humanitarian outlook brings you to believe that more solidarity is what the world needs most.

The effect you have on your surroundings is fundamentally positive, largely because you are
able to keep your interests in the background. People tend to feel motivated when they work
with you and generate new energies that can support their efforts to direct their own lives into
directions that will lead to satisfaction. People know that you will take their problems seriously.
Concern that you may need help someday serves as a motivation to give to others.

Chapter 3

Mercury - The Mental Expression

From the Earth, the planet Mercury seems to travel about as fast as the Sun. This is an
illusion. Mercury orbits around the Sun in approximately 88 days. Its distance from the Sun is
59 million kilometers. With its diameter of 4840 kilometers, it is smaller than the Earth.
Mercury can be either a morning or an evening star. In a horoscope, it can be at most 28 degrees
away from the Sun, so that the only possible aspect to the Sun for Mercury is a conjunction.

In Mythology, Mercury or Hermes served as a messenger to the gods, responsible for

conveying news. His intelligence and his silver tongue allowed him to become the god of
commerce. He enjoyed cheating others so much that thieves and other "riffraff" honor him as a
god. In Astrology he represents our ability to communicate, analytical reason, business sense,
common sense and wit. As morning star, it is associated with the sign Gemini, as evening star
with Virgo.

Your Mercury in Virgo

You can usually rely on your power of reasoning and can use it to solve everyday problems.
Your ability to analyze problems thoroughly makes you capable of planning a task well before
undertaking it. You take care to express yourself correctly and expect the same from others. You
do not waste your time with light conversation or disputes. Concrete problems interest you the
most. You are usually able to come up with a successful strategy for solving any problem. You
take your responsibilities seriously and like to place your intellect at the disposal of an employer
who appreciates you. You are especially suited to do research, because you do not overlook the
most insignificant detail and have perseverance. When you are dissatisfied, you become
compulsively critical and even tear apart the successes of anyone you see as an opponent.

Your Mercury in the First House

With this Mercury position you can get to know both yourself and life better by asking
questions and demanding answers. You can lead discussions wonderfully and expand people's
horizons by presenting them with new ideas and information. Your goal is to overcome all limits
through reason. Analytical thought is one of your strong points, but try not to criticize yourself
and others too much.

Observe the planets which have a close aspect to Mercury and its associated sign. It is
precisely there that Mercury is known to be an imitator taking on the characteristics of the
planets tied to it.

Your reflection is designed to find the meaning of life, and to let the world be created in your
mind. You run the risk of recognizing where reform is necessary and then refuse to change your
behavior. On the other hand, you may retain your youth for a long time because you are
openhearted and feel compelled to participate in the developments in your area.
 Your Mercury in Square with Your Jupiter Orb 7° 36'

It would be an improvement for you to put more effort into putting your ideas into practice.
It does not accomplish anything to start the day enthusiastically and then resign the minute
complications start to hamper your progress. Perhaps you bring ideas into the world that few
other people cannot relate to. Try to get an idea of the reception before wasting energy on
impractical concepts. Also, it helps to break larger tasks down into smaller steps, set realistic
goals and accept the fact that although this is somewhat less exciting, it has more potential for
success because it allows for a more efficient use of your limited organizational capacity.
Basically, you're thinking is not always realistic and your self-image could be more objective.
Frequently you exaggerate your abilities and end up feeling overburdened, which can be critical
when others find out that your enthusiasm was not sincere. Try to keep reason and imagination
in balance and know when it is time to pull the emergency brake.

Your Mercury in Square with Your Uranus Orb 4° 37'

With your mind constantly running at full speed, it will not be easy for you to turn off your
thoughts. You should learn to relax and loosen up, tomorrow will always be there. That will
prevent your impatience from developing into a condition of nervous exhaustion. Although you
are mentally active and have original ideas, your tangled thoughts may lead you to put your
focus on unrealistic projects. Sometimes you seem to be absentminded and occasionally jump
to absurd conclusions that have not been thoroughly considered. The spontaneous character of
Uranus causes the hectic pace that your life sometimes takes on.

There is a stubborn and rebellious side to your intellect that can cause you to be rejected by
people who find your attitude overbearing. The matter gets complicated when you start rapidly
changing your opinions on everything and are unwilling to listen to any kind of advice. An
overnight transformation could throw your life into turmoil because you are constantly on the
lookout for exciting and unusual experiences. The ethical values of your behavior are only of
secondary importance because you consider yourself to be above societal norms. Finally, do not
make yourself out to be so important that you suppress your responsibility to keep your
obstinacy under control.

Chapter 10: Part of Fortune and Moon Node

The Moon's Nodes - The Karmic Component - Where Do I Come From - Where Am
I Going?
 The Moon's nodes are points where the moon's orbit around the Earth crosses the
Earth's orbit around the Sun. The points are calculated and lie directly across from
each other. When these two points are connected, the Moon Node Axis crosses the
entire chart. It runs backwards, from Aries into Pisces, then into Aquarius, etc.

The Moon Node Axis can travel through the horoscope in 18.5 years, which leaves
1.5 years in each sign. The people our own age have their Moon Nodes in the same
sign as we do, but not necessarily in the same house.

The rising Moon Node is referred to as the northern Moon Node or Dragon's Head.
The falling Moon Node is called the southern Moon Node or Dragon's Tail. In Indian
Astrology they are called Rahu and Ketu.

The meaning of the Moon Node Axis is tied closely to Karmic Astrology and is
easier to understand in this context. It begins with a premonition that we are not on
planet Earth for the first time, but that we have brought experiences from previous
lives with us. In a horoscope the principle of reincarnation is described by the Moon
Node Axis, whereby the falling Moon Node shows where the soul is coming from while
the rising Moon Node describes where it is going to and our goals in this life. The Axis
is the path we walk in this life. It can also be seen as a horoscope compressed into one
line, which is expounded on by the remaining factors.

The falling Moon Node contains the sum of all the experiences from our past lives.
This is why it seems more familiar to us than its complement. It represents all our
favorite habits, which we cannot manage to free ourselves from, but which hamper
our development, in other words our personal "way of least resistance". It is our duty
to overcome our inner obstacles and pave the way for new experiences that go in a
completely different direction, as we see on the opposing sign. We should endeavor to
free ourselves from the chains of habit and look forward to unexplored harbors. The
houses containing the Moon's Nodes tell us which areas we should further develop
and where we are caught by transmitted behavior patterns.

One of the most interesting ways to see the personal horoscope is to look at how far
we have come and then image what may lie in store for us.

Your Northern Moon Node in Aquarius

 In the past you have managed to place your own interests in the center of every
activity, disregarding the rest of the world. You insisted on setting the pace and were
unable to let yourself be led by anyone else and inept at cooperation among equals.
Your lust for power and excessive pride let you forget how much real friendship could
give you and how wonderful life within a community can be. Your conceit led you to
find a role in any drama that would make you the center of attention. You were not
even able to admit to the same weaknesses in yourself, which you despised in others.

Now you are called upon to sacrifice your own personal goals to service for your
community. Descend from your pedestal and meet with the "lesser" folk. You could
learn more than you dare to imagine. Your duty is to devote your managerial qualities
to the development of a more humane society and subdue your ego in support of a
nobler goal. This will require letting your mask fall as well resisting the temptation to
dominate others. You must learn to think of yourself as a small part of the universe,
which can attain its destiny only through a cooperative effort with friends and
partners. Any attempts to resist may result in an involuntary isolation that will
eventually force you into taking these very steps.

Your Northern Moon Node in the Sixth House

Now is the time to structure your life. Concrete activities will distract you from
depressive thoughts. If you have problems, do not resort to self-pity, but search for
practicable solutions, if necessary, ask your friends for help.

Do not shy away from taking on responsibility in order to serve humanity better.
Thoroughness and responsibility may not sound very appealing, but it is important for
you to fulfill your everyday routines consequently, and so avoid creating chaos. Your
sensitivity keeps you from maintaining distance and following logical conclusions. On
the other hand, you have the capacity for spiritual development once you detach
yourself from the past and recognize the real opportunity that this incarnation offers.

The Part of Fortune - Your Personal Key for True Contentedness

 Everyone asks themselves once in a while what they can do to be happy and finding
an answer to this question is not as easy as it may seem, because many people have
wrong impressions about their real needs. They might be convinced that they need
something, are oriented on inappropriate role models or let themselves be influenced
by other people's ideas while possibly they are already on the wrong path. Usually,
they are not aware of it until it is too late. If you know how to make someone really
happy, usually you are prepared to make an effort or to make difficult decisions. This
makes the Part of Fortune something like a personal code of ethics, which has to be
remembered in every circumstance. It is one of the sensitive points and is derived
from Arabic Astrology.

The Part of Fortune is calculated by subtracting the Sun position from the
Ascendant position. We add the number of degrees of the moon to this result. A
simple formula would look like the following:

Part of Fortune = Ascendant - Sun + Moon

The position of the Sun, the Moon and the Ascendant are not randomly used for
calculating the Part of Fortune. It is based on the consideration that the energy of
these three bodies is what characterize people and gives them their individual
personalities: The Sun as the symbol of identity and ambition, the Moon for its
emotionality and its conscious and subconscious reactions, and finally the Ascendant
as the visible personality, which expresses the energies of the Sun and the Moon. The
position in the horoscope where Sun, Moon and Ascendant are most harmoniously
working together is called the Part of Fortune. The energies of a sign and the affairs of
the astrological house concerned will show you how to reach a state of true happiness.

Your Part of Fortune in Gemini

 To your life means always adjusting to new circumstances and observing them out
of varying perspectives. You need movement, intellectual challenges and to be
surrounded by people who constantly provide you with new insights. This is why you
need to communicate, keep yourself well informed and think about everything that is
important to your existence and society. You are happy when you can communicate,
discover interesting fields or analyze situations. Maybe you are not very adept at
understanding the emotional side of people, but have no problem following their way
of thinking.

It may sound paradox, but you like to be in the center of things without being so
intimately involved that you cannot easily withdraw at any time. Your consciousness
of reality tells you that it is not very useful to place a lot of importance on something
you have no control over, and so you are often the observer who draws conclusions
which make everything a little clearer without putting you in danger of being hurt.
You feel intimacy not through emotional but through spiritual closeness, which is why
your partner can only make you happy by creating an atmosphere in which interesting
and practical conversations are possible.

Your Part of Fortune in the Ninth House

 You will experience your happiness when you feel certain that you have come a few
steps closer to the truth. In many respects you are a seeker who asks basic questions
and is striving to find the meaning of existence. You want to develop yourself, focus
your consciousness and gain an understanding of the concepts embodied in the
institutions of our civilization. What you are striving for is wisdom both in thought
and in action; although that sounds very determined you should not let it intimidate
you. Naturally you are conscious of your imperfections, but that should not keep you
from drawing the power you need for your search.

It makes you happy to connect with people through personal conversation that
goes beyond every day topics. The ability to teach, which is ascribed to the sign
Sagittarius as well as to the ninth house, will help you make yourself understood and
spread your ideas, as people will be interested in your way of thinking. Maybe you will
be able to develop your own ideas about a more humane society and convince others
to try to live more in harmony with the cosmic order. Do not forget that tolerance is a
prerequisite for the privilege of being allowed to observe how the thoughts which you
cast out take root in the minds of other people and blossom.

It may be difficult for you, while you are in a secular environment, to keep an eye
on the little everyday problems. Also, you have to watch out that you do not develop a
tendency to overintellectualize because truths do not just come from thought and
when your heart does not contribute its part, you may lose touch with the joy you used
to feel. Maybe you will discover that your search leads to yourself and that there is
something divine in every being.

Epilog
 ...One fine morning God decided to tell his twelve children something about life in
general. He thought that he could help each one of them on their way, with a little
philosophy over each of their beings. So, they presented themselves one by one to
listen to what he had to say.

"A period of meditation has led me to the decision to send each of you away for
some time. So now take it in turns to come before me, so that I can give you a few
words of advice for your journey."

First of all, came Aries.

"Now, my friend Aries, as you always have to be first with everything, you have the
honor of acting as an initiator. Take a few of your ideas and spread them among the
people to let them judge them, because if you are clever, you will have already turned
to new shores, to indicate to them the beginning of reclamation. If you are filled with
wisdom, you will at some time realize that you function like an adapter, because you
always manage to adapt to the prevalent conditions and to foster growth. So, my
advice to you is to wander through life in this way. Good Luck!"

Aries went to the next travel agency, bought himself a ticket to Australia and
disappeared.

Next in line was Taurus.

"Dearest Taurus, why not take up on the ideas of your predecessor. You can shape
them as no one else can. Keep at it, it's worth it, because after all you've got more
strength than you think. If you allow yourself to get caught up with trivia you will
experience crisis and will wander through the deep valley of separation. If I were you,
I wouldn't question things in the first place, or change my opinion half way through. I
would just create and till the soil. The cozy things in life that are so important to you
will come of their own accord. Become a master of this and be patient. That's my
advice."

Taurus bought himself a lovely house and dedicated himself to the cultivation of
avocados.

Then God turned to Gemini.

"You, dear Gemini, have probably already noticed that you have many questions
but no answers. Therefore, you should show understanding for everything that is
going on around us. You will never be able to get to the bottom of everything, so you
should learn the art of letting things happen, because then you will be able to find the
answers and the gift of knowledge with composure. This is my advice to you."

Gemini went to the nearest university and enrolled in media science.

 Cancer stepped forward.

"Now, dear Cancer, how are you feeling? Like laughing or like crying? It doesn't
really matter because it's your job to show your feelings to the world, and both feelings
are a part of it. Whether you make people happy or sad you still help them in the
enrichment of their souls. You only have to make sure that you know where you
belong. If you follow this advice, you'll feel at home with the ones you love."

Cancer became the director of a charitable organization and founded a large

family.

With a proud expression on his face Leo appeared.

"Oh, my Leo, you probably have the ability to show to the whole world the beauty
of creation. If only it wasn't for your tendency to get wrapped up in complicated and
impressive patterns of behavior. You should always remember that creation didn't
spring from your drawing-board. If you find a simple understanding of your
surroundings, nothing will stand in the way of an honorable existence. That is my
advice to you."

Leo became the head of a fashion and music corporation and had his seven luxury
limousines polished every Saturday.

Now it was time for Virgo to come forward.

"And as for you dear Virgo, you're so fond of testing and analyzing that you cannot
avoid taking a closer look at everything that man is doing in this world. Investigate his
ways thoroughly and point out his mistakes so that the individual aspects of creation
can be understood by you. You will forge ahead with clear and precise thought. You
will soon notice that you don't find it easy to accept that there are people who don't
see things the way you do. Therefore, my most important advice to you, is to learn to
be tolerant, because it is not for the sake of nothing that there are different types of
people on this planet."

Virgo became head of the biggest firm of auditors in the area and dedicated himself
totally to every detail of this task.

Addressing Libra, God went on.

"You, honored Libra, will find that there isn't too much harmony amongst
humankind. You should serve man by reminding him of his duties towards his fellow-
men. Cooperation and co-existence should be your diplomatic guides. Teach the
people not to look at what they do from a selfish point of view. As a matter of course
you will find yourself wherever the balance has been disturbed. Work hard and you
will find harmony. That's my advice."
 Libra bought a season ticket for the Metropolitan opera and became a neutral
observer for the United Nations.

Cautiously Scorpio surfaced.

"Good morning dear Scorpio, put your sting away, I'm not going to hurt you. It's
not going to be easy for you, because you can sense what people are thinking. You'll
often suffer because of what you see, without having the opportunity to talk about
what is causing you pain. You will observe the tendency towards animal instincts in
your fellows and will have to cope with these tendencies within yourself. My advice to
you is that you manage not to identify with all the suffering that you encounter.
Rather, you should help humanity to understand the fleeting nature of life's cycles."

Scorpio opened up a spiritual center that specialized in subaquatic-rebirthing.

Next, he aimed at smiling Sagittarius.

"Hello, my friend Sagittarius, if you are ready, go and show mankind that there is
something worth living for. Make the people laugh so that they don't become
embittered, and introduce them to the art of cooperation. You'll get plenty of
opportunity because you are predestined to encounter many

of your fellow men. Don't let yourself be misunderstood. That would be a shame
and would hinder the growth of humanity. Therefore, my advice to you is to keep your
tongue under control, so that you don't rob mankind of the few remaining sparks of
hope. Off you go now, you've got a long journey before you."

Sagittarius went to the next train-station, bought a ticket for the Trans-Siberian
railway and was spotted amongst crowds of people, investigating foreign cultures in
the Himalayas.

Next it was Capricorn's turn.

"Worthy Capricorn, it's nice to see that you managed to free yourself from the
heavy burdens of your daily routine to come and see me. Things aren't going to be
easy for you because you feel that a great deal of responsibility for humanity rests
upon your shoulders. Show the people how they can be useful. But be warned, nobody
is perfect! Therefore, I advise you to come to the understanding that it is personal
integrity that you are striving for and not perfection. Now get back to your post
quickly, the people are already waiting."

Capricorn became head of the national rail system and came in as number 2667 of
the 25.000 competitors in the New York Marathon.

Impatiently Aquarius appeared.

 "Thank you for coming, Aquarius. I expect you thought by yourself "What does he
want from me this time?". You have a strong need for freedom, but it's no good to you
if those around you can't understand it. As you know something about what the future
may bring, you should tell the people how you see it so that they can get to know other
ways of living. Keep your ego in check, or you may experience the pain of loneliness.
You will be free if you help mankind whenever and wherever it needs you. This is my
advice to you."

Aquarius sat down at his computer and developed a program to help prevent the
end of the world.

Finally, God spoke to Pisces.

"Dearest Pisces, it's not all that easy for you either, as your sensitive receptors
afford you access to the worries of those around you. If only it wasn't always so
difficult for you to distance yourself from the cause of these worries. You might often
think by yourself that you are the cause of these worries. Don't limit your creativity by
making other people's trivial problems your own. You've got better things to do, pull
yourself together! Nothing against being sympathetic, but that doesn't mean that you
too have to suffer, does it? Thus, my advice is to go from here and use all your courage
to express your all-embracing body of thought."

Pisces went to Hollywood and was discovered for the melodramatic film genre.

After they had disappeared in all directions, God sat back and thought about what
would befall his children in the big wide world. He decided to get back to his own job
of keeping the "Universe" running smoothly, while he waited for his children to turn
up again soon.

In the meantime, the children were busy with their various enterprises and each
asked himself how the others were getting along. None was completely happy because
somehow, they all missed each other. After some time, God invited them for another
meeting. Once more they all gathered before him to listen to his words again.

"My dearest ones, I have observed you trying to follow the advice that I gave each
one of you. Some of you did quite well, while for others it wasn't easy. So, I have
decided that you should team up and work together for the wellbeing of mankind."

Thus, spoke God...

The children set off and founded an international charitable corporation, to

conduct research into the state of "Peace and Harmony on Earth." Aries and Gemini
worked together on the questionnaire. Taurus was confronted with the task of
straighten the image of the wonderful plant HEMP while Cancer looked after the
various needs of the other eleven. Libra took over the juridical department and
designed the ambiance of the entire operation. Capricorn and Virgo organized the
structure of the organization most efficiently down to the finest detail. Leo
represented the organization in public and Pisces gave it a creative image. He was in
charge of the advertising budget. Sagittarius was asked to investigate foreign cultures
so that a picture of conditions in distant lands could be built up. Aquarius decided to
set up a worldwide communications network using the possibilities offered by
computer technology. Scorpio watched everything suspiciously, taking care to ensure
that the transformation of the entire enterprise occurred with honor.

At all times, God was watching what his children were up to down on earth. He
liked what he saw, especially the green HEMP FIELDS attracted his attention and he
thought to himself, that it might be time to start out in his hard-earned retirement.

 Prolog

We are pleased to see that you are showing an interest in your horoscope. We use a computer
for this delicate task, but still we hope that we have been able to instill warmth and human
feeling into our interpretations.

But what is ASTROLOGY??

Some people maintain that we humans are influenced by strange forces emanating from
various planets. The popular press would have us believe that the inhabitants of planet Earth
can be divided into twelve different types that they then fill with their shallow perceptions.

Astrology can only be as competent as the people who make use of it. Astrology as such is
actually nothing more than a mathematical system, showing a person's planetary
representation at the time of birth in a 360° circle.

To accomplish this, we consider various factors. The first question to be answered is why
these creatures involved in Astrology seem to be infatuated with the exact time of birth. It is
really quite simple! We are interested in finding out which ascendant was chosen to experience
Earthly life. The twelve houses symbolize the areas of life and the ascendant is the beginning of
the FIRST HOUSE, the beginning of the chart.

What is it that awakens the chart's houses to life?

...The planets-each symbolizes a certain type of energy. Their positions within the houses
determine into which areas of life their energy is channeled. In addition, the angular
relationships of the planets to each other that are called aspects put Astrologers in the position
to make statements about the manifestation of these diverse forms of energy in the life of an
individual person.

CURIOUS? You will have to be patient a little longer!

Before we get started on your horoscope, I would like to call your attention to a small
problem. As you hold your interpretation in your hands, you may be startled to read that you
are characterized differently in the various interpretation texts - Sun in Sagittarius: you are
open, warm... followed by Moon in Capricorn: you appear cold and distanced... It is your job to
piece them together, because everyone's character is made up of different qualities and you have
learned more or less to live with these types of contradictions. Actually, it is better to be open
about contradictions in your personality, they allow for a change of pace once in a while and
also provide opportunities for growth, although not necessarily without suffering. Try to
understand of the fact that the computer does not know you and cannot possibly present a
complete picture.

For this reason, it is very important that you do not get hung up on single words or examples
in the texts and try to apply these strictly to your life. You should try to develop a feeling for the
basic energies that are manifested in an aspect or a planet and keep in mind that they may
appear in a somewhat different form in your life. Take the opportunity to discover and develop
your own form of Astrology. Here you have finally found a field that is not governed by strict
rules, but can be formed by your own individual sensitivity.

We wish you fruitful insights!!

Chapter 1

The Ascendant - Gate to the External World

The Ascendant is the rising sign in the East at the time of birth. It metaphorically channels
our expectations of life. The first impression stays with us throughout the day, influencing each
contact and every event. The Ascendant channels all the other energies in the chart actively
working to express them. It describes the way we live our natal chart and how we confront our
environment, making up an important part of our identity.

As to the question of the differentiation between the Ascendant and the role of the Sun keep
in mind how difficult it is for us as well as for others to differentiate the expression of our
personality from our personality itself. This question can therefore only be partially resolved. It
is much more important to live the positive aspects of your sign and to bring it into harmony
with all the other energies and influences.

Your Ascendant in Virgo

Probably you are often accused of being reserved and too shy and of taking things too
seriously. You do not come on as being especially spontaneous and flamboyant. You have
trouble simply enjoying the pleasures of life without serious contemplation. This lies in your
inclination to worry too much and to always want to have an overview of everything that is
happening. This prevents you from relaxing, because your brain keeps on churning. However,
this brain has astounding capabilities. You analyze details which others have not even
recognized. Your strength is rational thinking. When you are living from your center, others can
rely on your judgement. Then you are able to organize your thoughts, refrain from pageantry
and not let yourself get distracted from your ambitions.

It may take a long time to reach this point. Your task is to accept the "chaos" principle you
run into everywhere, which lends chaos to its own kind of organization.

Overcome your resistance to ideas that you cannot understand or explain. Look inside
yourself before you jump to criticize. It is for you to learn that your standards are not the only
valid ones and that humans are not perfect machines. Try to accept life's imperfections and do
not lose sight of the whole picture by concentrating on details.

Once you have accomplished this, you have done your duty. No one is asked for more than
to find an inner balance. You will then be able to recognize what is really important in life. Once
you have been purified in this manner, you will be able to truly help others.

Your Mars in Conjunction with Your Ascendant Orb 3° 24'

Being loaded with energy and always trying to leave an impression, you may go so far as to
meddle in other people's affairs. This will not always be to your advantage.

It is important for you to act with caution and to avoid rushing into things. A little patience
at the right time and place can have a tremendous advantage on your energetic potential. It will
not get you anywhere if people decide to avoid you because of your hot-headedness. Even if you
find it difficult you should get used to accepting compromises; people will thank you for it.

The MC

The Medium Coeli also called MC or Midheaven refers to the highest point on the chart. It
is the point of culmination where the planets reach the point on their apparent orbits highest
above the horizon. This point also forms the summit or the beginning (cusp) of the tenth house.
Directly across, the lowest point of the chart is found at the beginning (cusp) of the fourth house,
the Imum Coeli or IC. The MC generally symbolizes the consciousness while the IC represents
the subconscious.

The position of the MC on your chart can reveal how you conduct yourself in the outside
world. This includes your role in public, your professional career, and your social position and
in some cases your rate of success. The MC describes your professional orientation, where your
talents lie and how you go about planning your career. There is also information about the
relevance of other people's opinions and tells if you are persistent and/or determined.
 A precise interpretation of your professional ambitions must include the positions of the
planets in the tenth house and the aspects between the rest of the heavenly bodies.

The interpretation contains a listing of professions associated with the MC in classical

Astrology. Whereby you should not consider the name of the profession as it appears in the list,
but the abilities which are relevant to each of the professional fields.

Your Midheaven in Gemini

Your career could be characterized by constant changes. It is not particularly hard for you to
find your bearings in a temporary situation and take on new endeavors. On the other hand,
getting stuck with routine, tedious work or having to bridge dry spells in the company frustrates
you. You need constant intellectual stimulation, learn fast and are willing to devote time to
professional training. The only problem with all this stimulation is that everything interests you
and it is therefore difficult for you to commit yourself to a single goal. You may put off deciding
on a profession because within a short period of time something else will seem more attractive.
This will make it improbable that you will ever climb very high up the corporate ladder. You are
easily distracted and unable to commit yourself. Still, your career takes a back seat to
entertainment and other leisure activities.

No matter what you are doing you like to be surrounded by people and enjoy the exchange
of opinions and participate enthusiastically on whatever is going on. You are friendly with your
colleagues, occasionally spending evenings together after work.

To find out the extent of influence of these character traits, check the position of Mercury
and the Aspects between the remaining planets in your chart.

Gemini on the MC can point to a career in media, advertising, the tourism industry or in
translation. All these professions require mental flexibility and a talent for communication.

Chapter 2: The Inner You

Your Sun in Virgo

 People born under the Earth Sign Virgo tend to place their professional careers first. Virgo
is the most realistic sign, which is ruled by the planet Mercury and is constantly in search of
knowledge, which can immediately be put into practice. Virgos can differentiate precisely; a
simple yes or no is never enough.

Your love of detail allows you to work with care and precision. Disorder and sloppiness only
serve to challenge you to straighten up your surroundings. You like your work, enjoy fulfilling
obligations and therefore must watch out not to let yourself be used or exploited. You have often
placed too much importance on work and have missed the pleasant side of life.

You analyze your surroundings rigorously and are capable of losing yourself in details to the
point where you are not able to put the pieces together to make a whole. Do not forget the
importance of recognizing the essentials in life. Do not let yourself get caught up in banalities.

Practice being tolerant and be aware of the danger of taking your views too seriously. You
are capable of realizing your visions but have to learn to accept that some people have other
ways of doing things.

The sign Virgo represents health. Do not let your many worries exhaust you, this could prove
harmful to your health. Basically, worrying is pointless because you will never change the course
of events by worrying about them.

The ties between the sign Virgo and the Earth explain why you value material riches and the
comfort they bring. You look for quality when you shop and despise cheap mass-produced
items.

Even if you are not the most romantic person and pride yourself on your autonomous, single
lifestyle, you are hiding a great longing for security. You may want to reconsider your
exaggerated demands on a partner.

Women, born under the sign Virgo, dominate relationships and organize the daily routines
in the family. You have no reason to feel guilty about it; it just shows that you are prepared to
accept responsibility.

Your Sun in the Twelfth House

 In humanistic Astrology, the twelfth house is a place for spring-cleaning. This may seem
confusing at first, but the twelfth house is the end of a cycle that is renewed in the first house.
Something should happen here to prepare the way for a more beautiful new beginning. The
twelfth house will also help each individual attain its highest potential, although the energies at
work here are collective by nature and serve to restrain the ego.

This recognition and mastery can be compared with untying a knot. When the ego and
communal spirit melt together latent gifts may awaken within you. You have the capacity to
pioneer new fields. Your visions of a peaceful and ecological planet Earth should definitely be
made available to others, whereby you could creatively move others through the arts. Your
ability to see beyond your own shadow enables you to recognize the needs of others and
generally lend assistance to efforts designed to rectify unacceptable conditions both in the
society at large or in your immediate surroundings. Dare to instigate reform, a time may come
when you will not have any other choice.

If the Sun has a challenging aspect in the twelfth house you may have to fight against false
pride, conceit and arrogance. This may lead you to assume that all the world's benefits are laid
out for you to take what you want with no concern for the rest of the world.

On another level, the twelfth house deals with institutions. The Sun indicates that various
institutions could eventually play a role in your life, whether professionally or privately. This
includes hospitals, charitable institutions or stations in which people are confined.

You are very sensitive and notice signals from your surroundings. This makes it necessary
for you to withdraw periodically to maintain enough distance necessary to clear your head. You
will have to watch out that the circumstances do not eat into you to the point where you are
unable to live a normal life.

Your Sun in Square with Your Moon Orb 3° 47'

This aspect causes you to sense a contradiction between your will, your subconscious, your
socialization and behavior which can make you feel deeply dissatisfied. Maybe your creative
talents lie hidden in darkness. If you cannot find emotional harmony, you will never find a
permanent solution to your problems. It is possible that your family is keeping you from
expressing your individual qualities.
 Look for a means to let off steam or you will hardly experience satisfaction with your life.
You fight frequently and your defensiveness does not make your situation any easier. If you
should feel a desire to change, you will have to give up your defensive position and take the
needs of others more frequently into consideration. This requires a certain amount of effort,
only it is not clear how the end result should look. There is, namely, a wide discrepancy between
your ideal and your willingness to exert yourself in order to realize it. Be aware that the
fulfillment of your personal desires depends on your reaction to the circumstances.

Your Sun in Sextile with Your Jupiter Orb 4° 8'

You look confidently into the future. Your personal guardian angel seems to accompany your
every step, because you only seldom experience serious difficulties. If you do ever get distracted,
you find a way out of your misery quickly, because you instinctively know how to open locked
doors.

People should benefit from your activities. In moral questions you are well versed through
your study of the realization of spiritual and humanistic principles. You know what you want
and you will realize everything you set out to do.

If you have started a family you are aware of your responsibilities and will do everything in
your power to provide your children with a loving environment to grow up in. Your remarkable
spiritual faculties will make your life pleasant. This does not necessarily imply elaborate
activities; you are satisfied with simple everyday life. Travel is important to you because you
have great interest in foreign cultures. With foreigners you enjoy friendly and intense
exchanges.

Your Sun in Trine with Your Saturn Orb 7° 16'

This trine is a sign that your pursuit of success will bring results faster than it would to
others. This is primarily because you do not mind taking on responsibility. Your outlook on life
leads one to assume that you are honest, practical and crazy. Both finances and your own energy
are used sparingly, whereby you apply both primarily to realizing practical and sensible plans.
Your power of concentration and your organizational talents are put to use in a disciplined
manner, even when you are pursuing ambitious goals; they are achieved due to sacrificial effort.

You are not necessarily lucky in a traditional sense of the word, but you tend intuitively to
do the right thing at the right time, such that you will never suffer poverty in difficult times.
Your sober rationality has put together financial reserves to get you over any time of need. You
have learned to be patient and to avoid risky enterprises.

Your Sun in Trine with Your Uranus Orb 1° 8'

This aspect together with your creative energy will help you win people over. You are able to
tap into an energy reservoir that is not readily available to others. Sometimes problems that you
have been struggling with for a long time suddenly solve themselves. The esoteric field of study
should actually fascinate you and if you sense a desire to take a closer look at Astrology, you
should definitely follow up on it. It has already led many people to a more comprehensive
understanding of life's basic regularities.

Generally, you are open to experimentation because you know that it will broaden your
experiences. Also, you have nothing against sharing proposals you have developed with people
who are dissatisfied with the existing social conditions. However, you insist on working toward
a peaceful goal by peaceful means. In light of the wars being fought presently, your
humanitarian outlook brings you to believe that more solidarity is what the world needs most.

The effect you have on your surroundings is fundamentally positive, largely because you are
able to keep your interests in the background. People tend to feel motivated when they work
with you and generate new energies that can support their efforts to direct their own lives into
directions that will lead to satisfaction. People know that you will take their problems seriously.
Concern that you may need help someday serves as a motivation to give to others.

Chapter 3

Mercury - The Mental Expression

 From the Earth, the planet Mercury seems to travel about as fast as the Sun. This is an
illusion. Mercury orbits around the Sun in approximately 88 days. Its distance from the Sun is
59 million kilometers. With its diameter of 4840 kilometers, it is smaller than the Earth.
Mercury can be either a morning or an evening star. In a horoscope, it can be at most 28 degrees
away from the Sun, so that the only possible aspect to the Sun for Mercury is a conjunction.

In Mythology, Mercury or Hermes served as a messenger to the gods, responsible for

conveying news. His intelligence and his silver tongue allowed him to become the god of
commerce. He enjoyed cheating others so much that thieves and other "riffraff" honor him as a
god. In Astrology he represents our ability to communicate, analytical reason, business sense,
common sense and wit. As morning star, it is associated with the sign Gemini, as evening star
with Virgo.

Your Mercury in Virgo

You can usually rely on your power of reasoning and can use it to solve everyday problems.
Your ability to analyze problems thoroughly makes you capable of planning a task well before
undertaking it. You take care to express yourself correctly and expect the same from others. You
do not waste your time with light conversation or disputes. Concrete problems interest you the
most. You are usually able to come up with a successful strategy for solving any problem. You
take your responsibilities seriously and like to place your intellect at the disposal of an employer
who appreciates you. You are especially suited to do research, because you do not overlook the
most insignificant detail and have perseverance. When you are dissatisfied, you become
compulsively critical and even tear apart the successes of anyone you see as an opponent.

Your Mercury in the First House

With this Mercury position you can get to know both yourself and life better by asking
questions and demanding answers. You can lead discussions wonderfully and expand people's
horizons by presenting them with new ideas and information. Your goal is to overcome all limits
through reason. Analytical thought is one of your strong points, but try not to criticize yourself
and others too much.
 Observe the planets which have a close aspect to Mercury and its associated sign. It is
precisely there that Mercury is known to be an imitator taking on the characteristics of the
planets tied to it.

Your reflection is designed to find the meaning of life, and to let the world be created in your
mind. You run the risk of recognizing where reform is necessary and then refuse to change your
behavior. On the other hand, you may retain your youth for a long time because you are
openhearted and feel compelled to participate in the developments in your area.

Your Mercury in Square with Your Jupiter Orb 7° 36'

It would be an improvement for you to put more effort into putting your ideas into practice.
It does not accomplish anything to start the day enthusiastically and then resign the minute
complications start to hamper your progress. Perhaps you bring ideas into the world that few
other people cannot relate to. Try to get an idea of the reception before wasting energy on
impractical concepts. Also, it helps to break larger tasks down into smaller steps, set realistic
goals and accept the fact that although this is somewhat less exciting, it has more potential for
success because it allows for a more efficient use of your limited organizational capacity.
Basically, you're thinking is not always realistic and your self-image could be more objective.
Frequently you exaggerate your abilities and end up feeling overburdened, which can be critical
when others find out that your enthusiasm was not sincere. Try to keep reason and imagination
in balance and know when it is time to pull the emergency brake.

Your Mercury in Square with Your Uranus Orb 4° 37'

With your mind constantly running at full speed, it will not be easy for you to turn off your
thoughts. You should learn to relax and loosen up, tomorrow will always be there. That will
prevent your impatience from developing into a condition of nervous exhaustion. Although you
are mentally active and have original ideas, your tangled thoughts may lead you to put your
focus on unrealistic projects. Sometimes you seem to be absentminded and occasionally jump
to absurd conclusions that have not been thoroughly considered. The spontaneous character of
Uranus causes the hectic pace that your life sometimes takes on.
 There is a stubborn and rebellious side to your intellect that can cause you to be rejected by
people who find your attitude overbearing. The matter gets complicated when you start rapidly
changing your opinions on everything and are unwilling to listen to any kind of advice. An
overnight transformation could throw your life into turmoil because you are constantly on the
lookout for exciting and unusual experiences. The ethical values of your behavior are only of
secondary importance because you consider yourself to be above societal norms. Finally, do not
make yourself out to be so important that you suppress your responsibility to keep your
obstinacy under control.

Chapter 10: Part of Fortune and Moon Node

The Moon's Nodes - The Karmic Component - Where Do I Come From - Where Am
I Going?
 The Moon's nodes are points where the moon's orbit around the Earth crosses the
Earth's orbit around the Sun. The points are calculated and lie directly across from
each other. When these two points are connected, the Moon Node Axis crosses the
entire chart. It runs backwards, from Aries into Pisces, then into Aquarius, etc.

The Moon Node Axis can travel through the horoscope in 18.5 years, which leaves
1.5 years in each sign. The people our own age have their Moon Nodes in the same
sign as we do, but not necessarily in the same house.

The rising Moon Node is referred to as the northern Moon Node or Dragon's Head.
The falling Moon Node is called the southern Moon Node or Dragon's Tail. In Indian
Astrology they are called Rahu and Ketu.

The meaning of the Moon Node Axis is tied closely to Karmic Astrology and is
easier to understand in this context. It begins with a premonition that we are not on
planet Earth for the first time, but that we have brought experiences from previous
lives with us. In a horoscope the principle of reincarnation is described by the Moon
Node Axis, whereby the falling Moon Node shows where the soul is coming from while
the rising Moon Node describes where it is going to and our goals in this life. The Axis
is the path we walk in this life. It can also be seen as a horoscope compressed into one
line, which is expounded on by the remaining factors.

The falling Moon Node contains the sum of all the experiences from our past lives.
This is why it seems more familiar to us than its complement. It represents all our
favorite habits, which we cannot manage to free ourselves from, but which hamper
our development, in other words our personal "way of least resistance". It is our duty
to overcome our inner obstacles and pave the way for new experiences that go in a
completely different direction, as we see on the opposing sign. We should endeavor to
free ourselves from the chains of habit and look forward to unexplored harbors. The
houses containing the Moon's Nodes tell us which areas we should further develop
and where we are caught by transmitted behavior patterns.

One of the most interesting ways to see the personal horoscope is to look at how far
we have come and then image what may lie in store for us.

Your Northern Moon Node in Aquarius

 In the past you have managed to place your own interests in the center of every
activity, disregarding the rest of the world. You insisted on setting the pace and were
unable to let yourself be led by anyone else and inept at cooperation among equals.
Your lust for power and excessive pride let you forget how much real friendship could
give you and how wonderful life within a community can be. Your conceit led you to
find a role in any drama that would make you the center of attention. You were not
even able to admit to the same weaknesses in yourself, which you despised in others.

Now you are called upon to sacrifice your own personal goals to service for your
community. Descend from your pedestal and meet with the "lesser" folk. You could
learn more than you dare to imagine. Your duty is to devote your managerial qualities
to the development of a more humane society and subdue your ego in support of a
nobler goal. This will require letting your mask fall as well resisting the temptation to
dominate others. You must learn to think of yourself as a small part of the universe,
which can attain its destiny only through a cooperative effort with friends and
partners. Any attempts to resist may result in an involuntary isolation that will
eventually force you into taking these very steps.

Your Northern Moon Node in the Sixth House

Now is the time to structure your life. Concrete activities will distract you from
depressive thoughts. If you have problems, do not resort to self-pity, but search for
practicable solutions, if necessary, ask your friends for help.

Do not shy away from taking on responsibility in order to serve humanity better.
Thoroughness and responsibility may not sound very appealing, but it is important for
you to fulfill your everyday routines consequently, and so avoid creating chaos. Your
sensitivity keeps you from maintaining distance and following logical conclusions. On
the other hand, you have the capacity for spiritual development once you detach
yourself from the past and recognize the real opportunity that this incarnation offers.

The Part of Fortune - Your Personal Key for True Contentedness

 Everyone asks themselves once in a while what they can do to be happy and finding
an answer to this question is not as easy as it may seem, because many people have
wrong impressions about their real needs. They might be convinced that they need
something, are oriented on inappropriate role models or let themselves be influenced
by other people's ideas while possibly they are already on the wrong path. Usually,
they are not aware of it until it is too late. If you know how to make someone really
happy, usually you are prepared to make an effort or to make difficult decisions. This
makes the Part of Fortune something like a personal code of ethics, which has to be
remembered in every circumstance. It is one of the sensitive points and is derived
from Arabic Astrology.

The Part of Fortune is calculated by subtracting the Sun position from the
Ascendant position. We add the number of degrees of the moon to this result. A
simple formula would look like the following:

Part of Fortune = Ascendant - Sun + Moon

The position of the Sun, the Moon and the Ascendant are not randomly used for
calculating the Part of Fortune. It is based on the consideration that the energy of
these three bodies is what characterize people and gives them their individual
personalities: The Sun as the symbol of identity and ambition, the Moon for its
emotionality and its conscious and subconscious reactions, and finally the Ascendant
as the visible personality, which expresses the energies of the Sun and the Moon. The
position in the horoscope where Sun, Moon and Ascendant are most harmoniously
working together is called the Part of Fortune. The energies of a sign and the affairs of
the astrological house concerned will show you how to reach a state of true happiness.

Your Part of Fortune in Gemini

 To your life means always adjusting to new circumstances and observing them out
of varying perspectives. You need movement, intellectual challenges and to be
surrounded by people who constantly provide you with new insights. This is why you
need to communicate, keep yourself well informed and think about everything that is
important to your existence and society. You are happy when you can communicate,
discover interesting fields or analyze situations. Maybe you are not very adept at
understanding the emotional side of people, but have no problem following their way
of thinking.

It may sound paradox, but you like to be in the center of things without being so
intimately involved that you cannot easily withdraw at any time. Your consciousness
of reality tells you that it is not very useful to place a lot of importance on something
you have no control over, and so you are often the observer who draws conclusions
which make everything a little clearer without putting you in danger of being hurt.
You feel intimacy not through emotional but through spiritual closeness, which is why
your partner can only make you happy by creating an atmosphere in which interesting
and practical conversations are possible.

Your Part of Fortune in the Ninth House

 You will experience your happiness when you feel certain that you have come a few
steps closer to the truth. In many respects you are a seeker who asks basic questions
and is striving to find the meaning of existence. You want to develop yourself, focus
your consciousness and gain an understanding of the concepts embodied in the
institutions of our civilization. What you are striving for is wisdom both in thought
and in action; although that sounds very determined you should not let it intimidate
you. Naturally you are conscious of your imperfections, but that should not keep you
from drawing the power you need for your search.

It makes you happy to connect with people through personal conversation that
goes beyond every day topics. The ability to teach, which is ascribed to the sign
Sagittarius as well as to the ninth house, will help you make yourself understood and
spread your ideas, as people will be interested in your way of thinking. Maybe you will
be able to develop your own ideas about a more humane society and convince others
to try to live more in harmony with the cosmic order. Do not forget that tolerance is a
prerequisite for the privilege of being allowed to observe how the thoughts which you
cast out take root in the minds of other people and blossom.

It may be difficult for you, while you are in a secular environment, to keep an eye
on the little everyday problems. Also, you have to watch out that you do not develop a
tendency to overintellectualize because truths do not just come from thought and
when your heart does not contribute its part, you may lose touch with the joy you used
to feel. Maybe you will discover that your search leads to yourself and that there is
something divine in every being.

Epilog
 ...One fine morning God decided to tell his twelve children something about life in
general. He thought that he could help each one of them on their way, with a little
philosophy over each of their beings. So, they presented themselves one by one to
listen to what he had to say.

"A period of meditation has led me to the decision to send each of you away for
some time. So now take it in turns to come before me, so that I can give you a few
words of advice for your journey."

First of all, came Aries.

"Now, my friend Aries, as you always have to be first with everything, you have the
honor of acting as an initiator. Take a few of your ideas and spread them among the
people to let them judge them, because if you are clever, you will have already turned
to new shores, to indicate to them the beginning of reclamation. If you are filled with
wisdom, you will at some time realize that you function like an adapter, because you
always manage to adapt to the prevalent conditions and to foster growth. So, my
advice to you is to wander through life in this way. Good Luck!"

Aries went to the next travel agency, bought himself a ticket to Australia and
disappeared.

Next in line was Taurus.

"Dearest Taurus, why not take up on the ideas of your predecessor. You can shape
them as no one else can. Keep at it, it's worth it, because after all you've got more
strength than you think. If you allow yourself to get caught up with trivia you will
experience crisis and will wander through the deep valley of separation. If I were you,
I wouldn't question things in the first place, or change my opinion half way through. I
would just create and till the soil. The cozy things in life that are so important to you
will come of their own accord. Become a master of this and be patient. That's my
advice."

Taurus bought himself a lovely house and dedicated himself to the cultivation of
avocados.

Then God turned to Gemini.

"You, dear Gemini, have probably already noticed that you have many questions
but no answers. Therefore, you should show understanding for everything that is
going on around us. You will never be able to get to the bottom of everything, so you
should learn the art of letting things happen, because then you will be able to find the
answers and the gift of knowledge with composure. This is my advice to you."

Gemini went to the nearest university and enrolled in media science.

 Cancer stepped forward.

"Now, dear Cancer, how are you feeling? Like laughing or like crying? It doesn't
really matter because it's your job to show your feelings to the world, and both feelings
are a part of it. Whether you make people happy or sad you still help them in the
enrichment of their souls. You only have to make sure that you know where you
belong. If you follow this advice, you'll feel at home with the ones you love."

Cancer became the director of a charitable organization and founded a large

family.

With a proud expression on his face Leo appeared.

"Oh, my Leo, you probably have the ability to show to the whole world the beauty
of creation. If only it wasn't for your tendency to get wrapped up in complicated and
impressive patterns of behavior. You should always remember that creation didn't
spring from your drawing-board. If you find a simple understanding of your
surroundings, nothing will stand in the way of an honorable existence. That is my
advice to you."

Leo became the head of a fashion and music corporation and had his seven luxury
limousines polished every Saturday.

Now it was time for Virgo to come forward.

"And as for you dear Virgo, you're so fond of testing and analyzing that you cannot
avoid taking a closer look at everything that man is doing in this world. Investigate his
ways thoroughly and point out his mistakes so that the individual aspects of creation
can be understood by you. You will forge ahead with clear and precise thought. You
will soon notice that you don't find it easy to accept that there are people who don't
see things the way you do. Therefore, my most important advice to you, is to learn to
be tolerant, because it is not for the sake of nothing that there are different types of
people on this planet."

Virgo became head of the biggest firm of auditors in the area and dedicated himself
totally to every detail of this task.

Addressing Libra, God went on.

"You, honored Libra, will find that there isn't too much harmony amongst
humankind. You should serve man by reminding him of his duties towards his fellow-
men. Cooperation and co-existence should be your diplomatic guides. Teach the
people not to look at what they do from a selfish point of view. As a matter of course
you will find yourself wherever the balance has been disturbed. Work hard and you
will find harmony. That's my advice."
 Libra bought a season ticket for the Metropolitan opera and became a neutral
observer for the United Nations.

Cautiously Scorpio surfaced.

"Good morning dear Scorpio, put your sting away, I'm not going to hurt you. It's
not going to be easy for you, because you can sense what people are thinking. You'll
often suffer because of what you see, without having the opportunity to talk about
what is causing you pain. You will observe the tendency towards animal instincts in
your fellows and will have to cope with these tendencies within yourself. My advice to
you is that you manage not to identify with all the suffering that you encounter.
Rather, you should help humanity to understand the fleeting nature of life's cycles."

Scorpio opened up a spiritual center that specialized in subaquatic-rebirthing.

Next, he aimed at smiling Sagittarius.

"Hello, my friend Sagittarius, if you are ready, go and show mankind that there is
something worth living for. Make the people laugh so that they don't become
embittered, and introduce them to the art of cooperation. You'll get plenty of
opportunity because you are predestined to encounter many

of your fellow men. Don't let yourself be misunderstood. That would be a shame
and would hinder the growth of humanity. Therefore, my advice to you is to keep your
tongue under control, so that you don't rob mankind of the few remaining sparks of
hope. Off you go now, you've got a long journey before you."

Sagittarius went to the next train-station, bought a ticket for the Trans-Siberian
railway and was spotted amongst crowds of people, investigating foreign cultures in
the Himalayas.

Next it was Capricorn's turn.

"Worthy Capricorn, it's nice to see that you managed to free yourself from the
heavy burdens of your daily routine to come and see me. Things aren't going to be
easy for you because you feel that a great deal of responsibility for humanity rests
upon your shoulders. Show the people how they can be useful. But be warned, nobody
is perfect! Therefore, I advise you to come to the understanding that it is personal
integrity that you are striving for and not perfection. Now get back to your post
quickly, the people are already waiting."

Capricorn became head of the national rail system and came in as number 2667 of
the 25.000 competitors in the New York Marathon.

Impatiently Aquarius appeared.

 "Thank you for coming, Aquarius. I expect you thought by yourself "What does he
want from me this time?". You have a strong need for freedom, but it's no good to you
if those around you can't understand it. As you know something about what the future
may bring, you should tell the people how you see it so that they can get to know other
ways of living. Keep your ego in check, or you may experience the pain of loneliness.
You will be free if you help mankind whenever and wherever it needs you. This is my
advice to you."

Aquarius sat down at his computer and developed a program to help prevent the
end of the world.

Finally, God spoke to Pisces.

"Dearest Pisces, it's not all that easy for you either, as your sensitive receptors
afford you access to the worries of those around you. If only it wasn't always so
difficult for you to distance yourself from the cause of these worries. You might often
think by yourself that you are the cause of these worries. Don't limit your creativity by
making other people's trivial problems your own. You've got better things to do, pull
yourself together! Nothing against being sympathetic, but that doesn't mean that you
too have to suffer, does it? Thus, my advice is to go from here and use all your courage
to express your all-embracing body of thought."

Pisces went to Hollywood and was discovered for the melodramatic film genre.

After they had disappeared in all directions, God sat back and thought about what
would befall his children in the big wide world. He decided to get back to his own job
of keeping the "Universe" running smoothly, while he waited for his children to turn
up again soon.

In the meantime, the children were busy with their various enterprises and each
asked himself how the others were getting along. None was completely happy because
somehow, they all missed each other. After some time, God invited them for another
meeting. Once more they all gathered before him to listen to his words again.

"My dearest ones, I have observed you trying to follow the advice that I gave each
one of you. Some of you did quite well, while for others it wasn't easy. So, I have
decided that you should team up and work together for the wellbeing of mankind."

Thus, spoke God...

The children set off and founded an international charitable corporation, to

conduct research into the state of "Peace and Harmony on Earth." Aries and Gemini
worked together on the questionnaire. Taurus was confronted with the task of
straighten the image of the wonderful plant HEMP while Cancer looked after the
various needs of the other eleven. Libra took over the juridical department and
designed the ambiance of the entire operation. Capricorn and Virgo organized the
structure of the organization most efficiently down to the finest detail. Leo
represented the organization in public and Pisces gave it a creative image. He was in
charge of the advertising budget. Sagittarius was asked to investigate foreign cultures
so that a picture of conditions in distant lands could be built up. Aquarius decided to
set up a worldwide communications network using the possibilities offered by
computer technology. Scorpio watched everything suspiciously, taking care to ensure
that the transformation of the entire enterprise occurred with honor.

At all times, God was watching what his children were up to down on earth. He
liked what he saw, especially the green HEMP FIELDS attracted his attention and he
thought to himself, that it might be time to start out in his hard-earned retirement.
