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
29 Capricorn: A WOMAN READING TEA LEAVES.
It is symbolism that acts to open the pathways to the spiritual centre.
You may find that you are open to seeing meaning through the catalyst of the simplest of everyday events. You will receive messages about your situation, if you are open to `seeing' the signs.
If negative - reliance on superstition or esoteric advice.

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
27 Pisces: A HARVEST MOON ILLUMINATES THE SKY.
the situation is very ripe and full of fruition.
Now is the time to reap the benefits of the work that's been done. It's taken a while to get where you are, take some time out to celebrate and connect with family and loved ones -
If negative - neglecting the tasks at hand because of the appearance of abundance.

Moon 'in' Pisces: You have strong feelings and are extremely sensitive. It would help if you had a thicker skin -- you tend to react emotionally to every situation you come across. Kind, gentle and considerate of the feelings of others, you are good at taking care of the sick, wounded and helpless. But you tend to absorb the energy of others -- so avoid those who are always negative. You have a rich, creative and lively imagination, but you should be careful not to spend all your time daydreaming. Very intuitive, you have good ESP and may be quite clairvoyant or psychic. Remember that you too have the right to get what you want from life. If you are always defensive and kowtowing to others, people will take advantage of you and exploit you.

Rising Sign
27 Aries: THROUGH IMAGINATION, A LOST OPPORTUNITY IS REGAINED.
Creative imagination and visualisation. Hope renewed. Second chances.
Use your inner creative energy to revitalise an idea or opportunity that seems lost. You need to believe that it is possible and create a new image in your mind, then you will succeed. The energy to recapture something that seemed to be lost.
If negative - relying on self pity which denies using the imagination to recover the situation.

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
15 Aquarius: TWO LOVEBIRDS SITTING ON A FENCE AND SINGING HAPPILY.
Faith in love or waiting for signs to commit. Friendship and companionship.
There may be a feeling of contentment and pleasure, but this is based on taking a non-committed position. To go one way or the other invites risks of separation, but conviction eventually needs to be either chosen or rejected.
If negative - failing to commit.

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
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.

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
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.

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
09 Cancer: A SMALL, NAKED GIRL BENDS OVER A POND TRYING TO CATCH A FISH.
Curiosity. Infantile cravings. Fascination with the illusory, grasping at abstractions.
You may find yourself unable to grasp the meanings, but still being fascinated by what is happening. Your position in the situation is comparatively innocent and your perceptions possibly limited, still lessons will be learnt about what is and what is not possible. Innocent reaching out for experiences.
If negative - being distracted by simple irrelevances.

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
24 Aquarius: A MAN TURNING HIS BACK ON HIS PASSIONS TEACHES DEEP WISDOM FROM HIS EXPERIENCE.
Conquering of one's base nature.
You may feel that you can no longer survive the roller-coaster ride of your emotions. It is by controlling your passions that you are able to find an objective position that allows you to understand. You can benefit everyone by teaching the new wisdom and understanding that come after having gone through some hard lesson.
If negative - giving up on emotional growth. Being dissatisfied with life.

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
09 Aquarius: A FLAG IS SEEN TURNING INTO AN EAGLE.
Turning away from having to prove oneself, rising above the commonplace, ascension. Rebirth.
This is the movement of an external representation of the situation to the deeper levels of its energetic spirit. You may find that you are no longer just projecting an image, but true power.
If negative - forcefully displaying private ideals.

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.
