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
21 Capricorn: A RELAY RACE.
Shared endeavour.
The end is in sight and the victory achievable, but you may find that you are only one member of the team, with your own special task to perform. You may not be the one who crosses the finish line, but you will, eventually, share in the glory of the group effort. Just be watchful for when you have to take the baton.
If negative - not letting go of control to another OR feeling defeated because of feelings that you don't have the necessary resources to win.

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
19 Sagittarius: PELICANS, DISTURBED BY THE GARBAGE OF PEOPLE MOVE THEIR YOUNG TO A NEW HABITAT.
Concerns with survival.
You may feel that conditions are changing and you and your family (sometimes friends) don't feel safe. You may need to move to a new situation which will provide more nourishment and less danger. This can refer to an inner withdrawal.
If negative - not being prepared to compromise or co-habit.

Moon 'in' Sagittarius: An idealist, you prefer the grand, the beautiful, the good and the noble. You get very disappointed when your high expectations in life are not met. Very curious by nature, you enjoy traveling and learning about other peoples and cultures. Try to avoid your tendency to ignore the small but important details of living. You are independent and free, and you want others to be that way, too. Optimistic, buoyant and cheerful, others like to have you around. You have an incessant desire to learn as much as possible about metaphysics, religion, philosophy and any other broad, deep subject. Your life tends to be punctuated by bursts of energy and frenetic activity.

Rising Sign
14 Aries: A SERPENT COILING NEAR A MAN AND A WOMAN.
Enticement. Allurement. The revelation of archetypal knowledge that may not be `socially acceptable'.
There is a lot of tense emotion around relationships. There is a confusion of tension, fear and passion. Something or someone may be trying to come between you and a beloved. Maybe you need to let go and find new depths to your ways of relating and relationships.
If negative - feeling guilty about being afraid to express your feelings. Basic instincts and sexual energy.

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
10 Aquarius: A POPULARITY THAT PROVES TO BE FLEETING.
Staying true to oneself. Reversals of fortune.
You may find that you are looking at yourself or someone else and finding things a little less than you had thought. The important thing here is to learn that popular support does not equate to the true depth of character and self-worth. Opportunities that are merely fleeting.
If negative - clinging to false feelings of fame.

Mercury 'in' Aquarius: You tend to be very opinionated -- you have strongly felt notions about things and are quite vocal about expressing and defending them. Yet you are also an original thinker -- you enjoy shocking others with your offbeat, original thoughts. You appreciate and need mental and intellectual stimulation. Your judgment is usually fair and impartial -- you can be a good critic because you can remain objective and unemotional about most things.

Venus
20 Capricorn: A HIDDEN CHOIR SINGING DURING A RELIGIOUS SERVICE.
Background messages and quiet worship.
Be receptive to your feminine, intuitive side, there are messages to be heard even though not apparent. Realize that you are not alone, that there are other people who feel the same things. The voices of the women heard more through orthodox halls. Do you hear them and want to contribute?
If negative - taking undue credit for group qualities. A lack of commitment.

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
25 Pisces: THE PURGING OF THE PRIESTHOOD.
Getting rid of people or ideals that hold one back from achieving spiritual goals.
There is a feeling of a need to re-examine moral and spiritual sincerity. It is easy to lose sight of the ideal through rationalising intellect, ego and emotive passion. Periodically, there is a need to cleanse and purify motives, leading to a better representation of spiritual values.
If negative - stressful battle over who's in charge of spiritual needs and direction.

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
10 Cancer: A LARGE DIAMOND IN THE FIRST STAGES OF THE CUTTING PROCESS.
Coming to terms with inner worth. Emerging perfection. Enormous beauty that is still a bit `rough around the edges.'
Your position is just beginning to take shape and the potential is enormous, but there needs to be care and accuracy taken or all the work to date could be spoilt. This situation has taken a long time to develop and comes from a deep organic essence.
If negative - leaving an important job unfinished.

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
09 Gemini: A QUIVER FILLED WITH ARROWS.
Make a strategy and then hit the target. Getting to the point.
You need to arm yourself before hunting for what you want. There is no need to rush forward and hope for the best, this will only leave you feeling inadequate when you do find something. Compose yourself for a moment and realise that you have the ammunition and the sure marksmanship.
If negative - going into battle unprepared. Overconfidence in a mission.

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.
