27 Gemini: A YOUNG GYPSY EMERGING FROM THE WOODS GAZES AT FAR CITIES.

Dreaming of becoming a part of something far-off and larger than one's own sphere. Lessons to be learnt about being street-wise. New perspectives arising from larger realities.

It takes a deal of courage to be something of an outcast and still venture into society. Wanting and trying to participate, even when you don't command respect or acceptance, is difficult, but with success, rewarding.

If negative - dissatisfaction with your own surroundings and always looking elsewhere.

N. Node 'in' Gemini: You will consciously seek out many different contacts with others throughout your life. Many of these will be of very short duration, not necessarily because you're fickle, but just because you always seem to be more excited by the prospect of meeting someone new rather than prolonging your present relationships. At any rate, you will learn something new from almost everyone you come across -- intellectual stimulation is what you crave from others. You will be well known to neighbors and relatives, partly due to your curiosity about what they're doing -- you delight in keeping up-to-date about the latest news (and gossip).

Sun
12 Capricorn: A STUDENT OF NATURE LECTURING REVEALING LITTLE-KNOWN ASPECTS OF LIFE.
Observing what's around you and translating it so that others may also enjoy. Green politics.
You can be an example to others of being somebody who understands the wonders of nature. There may have been too much weight given to the needs of society and now it is time to redress the balance. Practical applications of knowledge.
If negative - radical non-humanistic views. Intellectual smugness.

Sun 'in' Capricorn: Extremely serious and mature, you are capable of accepting responsibilities and do so willingly. Others expect you to be dutiful as a matter of course. You tend to get angry when people get rewards after not having worked anywhere near as hard as you. You are goal-oriented and an achiever by nature -- you're a hard worker and are justifiably proud of the tangible results of your efforts. You tend to have "tunnel-vision" -- this allows you to block out extraneous matters that might distract others and to concentrate totally on the matter at hand. As such, you are the ideal one to manage or administrate any ongoing project and to be practical and efficient at it. You are not a fast worker, but you are quite thorough. You are known for being totally persistent, tenacious and tireless in reaching your goals.

Moon
13 Leo: AN OLD SEA CAPTAIN ROCKING ON THE PORCH OF HIS COTTAGE..
Retreating into one's inner self and reflecting. Quiet confidence in knowing that one can conquer life's storms and come out wiser. Observing life from afar.
There is a need for quiet reflection, to look back at your past experiences, especially those times that may have seemed very threatening. Take some time for a little solitude, contemplate the overall picture. When back into the business of life you will be refreshed and have a better idea of the big picture.
If negative - ignoring what is happening now in favour of memories. Inability to get going.

Moon 'in' Leo: You always want to be proud of yourself and will never do anything that will make yourself look bad. You need the respect and admiration of others and enjoy attracting attention to yourself. Everything you do tends to be self-emphasized and self-exaggerated. Very stubborn, willful and independent yourself, be sure to allow others who are close to you the similar right to "be themselves." Your need for love, affection and reassurance, and your tendency toward vanity, allow you to have your head easily turned by flattery. The more insecure you are, the more you tend to be a showoff. You love games and sports as a matter of fact, you would usually rather play than work. Be careful of a tendency to be snobbish and uppity -- it does not become you.

Rising Sign
30 Pisces: A MAJESTIC ROCK FORMATION RESEMBLING A FACE IS IDEALIZED BY A BOY WHO TAKES IT AS HIS IDEAL OF GREATNESS, AND AS HE GROWS UP, BEGINS TO LOOK LIKE IT.
Concrete manifestation of one's ideals. Enduring truths. Culmination of efforts. Projections of ideal images.
You may find that you are growing into the image that you have imagined and it gives you some sense of pride - assuming you have imagined a positive image. Meditating on a goal or the projection of an ideal can lead to actuality, just be clear about what you really desire in the situation - you just might get it.
If negative - not being at all clear about who one is or can be - becoming a screen for the projection of other's ideals.

Rising Sign 'in' Pisces: Very sensitive to your surroundings, other people's feelings become your feelings. Try to avoid negative people because your tendency to empathize with them will make you negative also. An idealist, you must believe in something beyond your normal everyday existence. A dreamer, you like to escape to a world of your own creation. As such, you are known for the vividness of your imagination and should try to share your inner visions with others. Very self-sacrificial by nature, beware of others becoming overly dependent on you or vice versa. Allow yourself to live for yourself once in a while -- you deserve it. Don't be so envious of those who are more aggressive than you -- your gentle charity and true humility are indeed wonderful gifts. on the tenth house cusp (MIDHEAVEN).

Mercury
27 Capricorn: A MOUNTAIN PILGRIMAGE.
Ascent in consciousness.
There is always a need to strive further, and to learn more on our path to understanding. You may feel a need to follow those that have gone before you to achieve a true sense of inner fulfilment. The effort is great, but so are the rewards.
If negative - high moral stand put on show with no depth of feeling.

Mercury 'in' Capricorn: You are a careful thinker, very cautious and conservative. You are quite skillful at organizing, directing and planning activities. Practical and useful things interest you -- you are not attracted to abstract thoughts or ideas. With your tendency to be highly focused and very goal-oriented, you have a good head for business. But beware of a tendency to be narrow-minded and dogmatic. Your sense of humor tends toward being earthy and slapstick crude.

Venus
09 Capricorn: AN ANGEL CARRYING A HARP.
Messages of peace from the other side. Being in tune, spiritually. Having an elevated view of humanity. Creating harmony.
You may feel that you are able to `tune in' on and radiate harmony around you. This pictures a situation of caring for others, of generosity and a fulfilled selfhood. Inspiring people to do their best.
If negative - having a holier-than-thou attitude. Losing oneself in fantasy.

Venus 'in' Capricorn: You tend to keep your feelings under control -- emotions are only released in serious or important situations. You are distrustful of others whose behavior could be judged excessive or immoderate. As such, you prefer to relate only to those who are older than you or to those whose position is such that respect and duty are more important for both of you than passion or emotional response. Be careful, however, of relationships that are merely based on practicality or utility or you will ultimately be lonely.

Mars
18 Pisces: IN A HUGE TENT A FAMOUS REVIVALIST CONDUCTS HIS MEETING WITH A SPECTACULAR PERFORMANCE.
Energy and inspiration.
You may find that there is a need to organise and stage a display of the situation, bringing a feeling of community together in a common goal. Sometimes this pictures a situation of hysteria, overstating one's case, so there's needs to be some feeling of moderation here. Is the audience listening? Is the cause just?
If negative - using spiritualism for greedy financial gain. Overblown feelings of one's abilities.

Mars 'in' Pisces: Very sensitive and vulnerable, it is difficult for you to assert yourself. At times, you feel quite tired and you will require a lot of sleep in order to maintain your health and your strength. You are at your best when you act without your ego being important. You can be very unselfish and considerate of the needs of others. You get the most satisfaction by giving to others when you expect nothing in return. Beware of a tendency to want always to work behind the scenes or to become overly deceptive by doing things behind others' backs.

Jupiter
11 Cancer: A CLOWN CARICATURING WELL-KNOWN PERSONALITIES.
Exaggerated responses.
The situation may need to be less serious. `Laughter is the best medicine' and `many things said in jest' are useful tools to relax and may get things back on the right track. Perhaps someone is not `being real', using masks to hide what's really going on. Or, playing the fool when the situation needs a more serious response.
If negative - being foolish in the face of positive potential. Trying to cover up one's true self or one's mistakes through buffoonery.

Jupiter 'in' Cancer: You must be emotionally secure in order to grow and develop. You are happiest when your family and community support and nourish you and boost your morale. Whether your childhood experiences of love and emotional dependability were positive or negative will set the tone for your emotional growth and stability as an adult. When you feel at ease with yourself, you are able to offer assistance to those who need a helping hand.

Saturn
10 Gemini: AEROPLANE PERFORMING A NOSE-DIVE.
Plunging into experiences and situations without thought of the ramifications. If you become conscious of what you are doing you may be protected (and saved) at the last moment.
Your situation may seem to be heading for disaster, but perhaps you still imagine you are in control and, at the right moment, can save the day. Do you really have the controls? Are you actively working against your own best interests? Imagine pulling yourself out of a nose dive.
If negative - refusing to help yourself even though disaster is imminent. Defying gravity and facings its ramifications. Shake-ups.

Saturn 'in' Gemini: You are such a clear thinker and speaker, with a logical orderly mind, that you are repulsed by abstract, intangible or unorganized thoughts or ideas. But you tend to get uptight about speaking in public because you are afraid to be wrong. Remember that the best way to learn is by making mistakes. Also, you will be so carefully prepared that you probably will not make many mistakes anyway. To be interesting to you, ideas have to be practical and useful.

Uranus
23 Aquarius: A BIG BEAR SITTING DOWN AND WAVING ALL ITS PAWS.
Developing skills.
There is a need to develop responses above and beyond the normal expected level. Perhaps there are things you don't want to do, but it seems your duty to perform. Look to your situation and see if you are compromising yourself or just acting out conditioned responses. Perhaps you are indeed excelling your normal level of performance, only you can tell.
If negative - being unable to recover your feet. Instinctive and creative performing for the crowd or a fatuous desire to be the centre of attention. Defying authority. Vulnerable.

Uranus 'in' Aquarius: You, and most of your peer group as well, are reformers at heart. You want to make positive changes that will benefit society as a whole. You are willing to devote your time and energy to see that they come about, especially if the proper group support and combined purpose of will can be found. Be careful that your devotion to group goals does not produce too much friction or neglect in your own interpersonal one-on-one relationships.

Neptune
08 Aquarius: BEAUTIFULLY GOWNED WAX FIGURES ON DISPLAY.
Setting standards - exemplars of social ritual. The values being on display.
It is not enough to just look the part, we must live the part as well. You may find that elements of this situation are far too superficial or have only been given a superficial part in the situation. It may look good on the outside, but what's going on inside?
If negative - putting on a false front.

Neptune 'in' Aquarius: You, and your entire generation, will idealize and even venerate the ability to remain detached as well as the ability to objectively analyze any given situation. There will be a concerted effort on your part to cure the ills of society as a whole. But be very careful to continue to maintain and protect the rights of individuals in the midst of these potentially far-reaching changes.

Pluto
17 Sagittarius: AN EASTER SUNRISE SERVICE.
Perform any deeds with reverence.
This is a time of spiritual rebirth where you can rise above the failings of the past into a new beginning. Coming out of doubt and despair. There's unwavering faith in communal spiritual values.
If negative - obsession with the ceremony rather than the purpose or ideal.

Pluto 'in' Sagittarius: For your entire generation, society's cherished beliefs and totems will be radically changed. Many traditional concepts will be totally altered, if not completely destroyed. The rights of individuals to pursue their own course in life will be reasserted.
