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
14 Capricorn: AN ANCIENT BAS-RELIEF CARVED IN GRANITE REMAINS A WITNESS TO A LONG-FORGOTTEN CULTURE.
Anonymous immortality. Things carved in stone, or concrete. Permanent records.
The issue you may find in your situation is not so much in superficial display, but in the longevity and stability of the foundation or backdrop of your society. Some things never fade, they stand as reminders of ancient eras, bringing messages from the past.
If negative - limitations by not allowing for changes. Is this situation old and outworn?

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 Virgo: A POWERFUL STATESMAN OVERCOMES A STATE OF POLITICAL HYSTERIA.
The power to sway the mob. Having the charisma and talent to turn a situation around.
You may find that your situation is getting out of control as those around you get carried away with the energy of the situation. It is through the power of your personality that you can resolve the situation and bring back a state of equilibrium.
If negative - misusing charismatic energy to sway others to personal advantage.

Moon 'in' Virgo: You tend to be serious-minded but cheerful for the most part. You need tasks that engage both your mind and your hands. A careful worker, you enjoy making things. You are neat and orderly, and are very concerned with good health habits. Fastidious to the extreme, you cannot tolerate messes and will immediately clean them up. Reserved, shy, and very self-critical, you tend to be very hard on yourself. You usually will go out of your way to be helpful and useful to others. Practical, reliable, efficient and conservative, at times you are a bit of a prude. You are known to lead a simple, uncomplicated, frugal, methodical and unemotional lifestyle. You are devoted and caring to those you love.

Rising Sign
03 Aries: A CAMEO PROFILE OF A MAN IN THE OUTLINE OF HIS COUNTRY.
Observing one's limitations
There is a growing, objective awareness of how you fit into the larger picture. You may find you are participating in or have a more important role than you previously thought. Imprinting one's mark. Becoming an exemplar of one's tradition and culture. Try not to become too identified with externals or seeking recognition from the people around you.
Living a transpersonal life. If negative - blindly following the dogma of government or officials. Stereotyping one's self or others.

Rising Sign 'in' Aries: You are a free spirit and you must be first at everything you do. Very energetic, self-assertive and active, things must be done your way. Even though you may feel calm and serene on the inside, you certainly do not act that way. You want to do everything full-tilt, 100 miles per hour! A great competitor, but a poor cooperator -- you must learn how to lose more gracefully. Very self-confident, ambitious and passionate, you radiate positive energy. You are blunt and direct, but at times unfeeling and tactless, especially if anyone offers you any resistance. You fight for your beliefs, but your tendency to act first and think later often causes you much grief.

Mercury
30 Capricorn: DIRECTORS OF A LARGE FIRM MEET IN SECRET CONFERENCE.
Masterly control.
There are decisions to be made and possibly plans to be laid out. You can't really make all these decisions on your own, you need help. Call on the relevant knowledgable friends or authorities, with them you'll be able to iron out the details of your situation.
If negative - excluding those who will be affected by decisions. Exploiting people or situations.

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
11 Capricorn: PHEASANTS DISPLAY THEIR BRILLIANT COLORS ON A PRIVATE ESTATE.
Luxury.
This pictures a situation of the enjoyment of life's luxuries. Going after one's life goals. Riches, refinement and abundance are everywhere - but just take care, pheasants can be game birds too so there just may be an element of underlying danger. Displays of wealth.
If negative - foolish disregard of pending danger and a feeling that one has to be `on parade' or else they will be overlooked. Issues of standing out from the crowd.

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
19 Pisces: A MASTER INSTRUCTING HIS DISCIPLE.
To give and to receive.
This is a time for the transfer of higher knowledge and wisdom. You may find that you are the teacher or the pupil, but remember that it is often times the teacher that learns and the pupil that teaches. Perhaps it's a time for listening to your own higher wisdom.
If negative - dogmatic instruction by rote.

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.
