___________________

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and symbolizes new beginnings. It connotes quick changes and sudden forks in the road. Your life is marked by arriving at a certain place and then being turned in a new direction- adventures!

There is a dynamic restlessness to the Aries character. With the Sun in this sign, you are an activist and doer. New ideas are exciting and patience may be difficult.

When others first meet you their instant impression is of someone exciting, vibrant, talkative. If someone brings up a topic, you will be delighted to tell in great detail exactly what you think about it. As an Aries person, you gravitate toward the center of action.

You are audacious and intent on getting your own way. Since your nature is to express power, you treat opposition as an annoyance to be brushed out of the way. You are a natural leader who exudes self-confidence. From an early age you feel you are headed for success.

Happily, you are also generous about helping others in a crisis. You are an openhearted friend who shares ideas and advice and likes to pick up the check. You have a quality of largesse. You are not interested in the small or petty. “Go for the best” is your motto.

Your upbeat, magnetic personality pulls people toward you—you bring excitement into their lives. They envy your aggressiveness in meeting a challenge. Whatever the problem, you give the impression that you have an answer ready.

You like to be in charge and have an intense drive to succeed. This puts a lot of pressure on yourself. Inside, you’re filled with nervous energy and worry about how you’re going to handle everything. You hate to be bored; you’re always looking for something different—new people and places that promise excitement and adventure.

You have very little patience; you need to practice sticking things out. You’re also impatient with people who can’t resolve a problem. You believe in taking action. What you do have is great generosity and enthusiasm. And although you suffer from occasional self-doubt, you know that if you really want to do something, you can!

You’re also admired for your honesty; you don’t gloss over difficulties. What people don’t like is your tendency toward bossiness and your deserved reputation for being sharp-tongued. They’re afraid to cross you in an argument because they know you can cut them to the quick.

aries sun moodboard

Since my last couple of astrology posts got quite a bit of love, I decided to make a thing of it. So the cycle will end with Pisces if everything goes well. I will be focusing on only a couple of characters so that it doesn’t jar the minds of you guys. I hope you’ll like it.

There are few things one needs to remember. I lean towards the Vedic astrology analysis because I feel it is lot more in depth and adds a lot of psychology into it, and it actually gives accurate analysis on how people from the same Zodiacs behave vastly different. That been aside, let’s jump into the main thing:

Aries! what a sign. It is the start of the Zodiac cycle, number 1 Sign and harbinger of the Spring and youth. However in Media and social media Aries is always depicted as headstrong, stubborn and short-tempered time bomb, but it is so much more than that. There are a few fundaments to add: Aries’ rulership is Mars, which also rules Scorpio and gets Exalted in Capricorn. Aries itself is the Exaltation point on sun, and debilitation point of Saturn. It is a Cardinal Sign thus it is not fixed in nature. It is the part of the Dharma Trikona signs: (Fire signs that signifies the true purpose of your life) along with Leo and Sagitarrius.

These particular characters has been chosen by me because they not only break stereotypes of Aries in one way or the other but also reconfirm age-old astrophilosophic theory about someone born under a particular sign. Here I will also provide the Sun and moon sign to compare how they appear and how their minds work.

Handa Seishuu: Barakamon (15th April) (Aries Asc, Sun, Moon Mercury conjunct in Aries) (Double sun influenced, afflicted) (Mars debilitated)

Handa has a very good chart for artistic ability, but there are some added twists to it. Handa has many similarities with the other Aries native Chiyo Sakura (whom I shall discuss later). He is sensitive, critical, self searching on the positive side, and he is irascible and petty on the other side. He has his sun and Moon placed in the Krittika Constellation or The constellation of the Cutter (Pleides). Since Krittika constellation is ruled by the Sun, he is considered doubly influenced with sun. Krittika constellation is the birthplace of Sun and exaltation point of moon (when it is in the Taurus belt) and it usually gives the native exceptional leadership qualities, critical and perfectionist attitude, sharp wit and sarcastic speech, soft heart and thus they become sensitive to the core.

But neither of them are quite associated with Handa now, does it? that is because when Sun and Moon are placed so close to each other in a same Constellation, it is considered Eclipsed in astrology. This means the native would get neither the benefits of Sun nor the Moon. Thus he loses a great deal of the charismatic leadership edge that is considered “alpha” in society. But we also have to remember that this conjunction is placed over the ascendant, which is the safe haven for debilitated or afflicted planets: it does not totally rob the native of the good results of the said planets. Sun is associated with Father, workplace, body, leadership, fame and Moon is associated with Mother, home environment, mind and nurturing: Handa is blessed on both sides. He almost easily transited into the profession his father followed, and he was brought up with least struggle. Both mom and dad protected him from harm and brought up a very sensitive guy who almost never faced any consequences for his naivete. The eclipse can also cause affliction in confidence and disturbance in mind which Handa has throughout his life, but it does not totally rob him of fame. He was famous in his world of calligraphy, he was begrudgingly famous as “sensei” in the island he lived during his exile, and in the Spinoff “Handa-kun” his afflicted mind made him think everyone hates him in the school but in reality he was the most popular boy around. That is the merit of Aries Sun. Another planet which is conjunct is the Mercury which encourages his to experiment from his traditional path and open avenues he never ventured before. Mercury is the significator of intelligece, mutability, children or kids, and this happened when Handa meets and interracts with Naru. Throughout his exile he constantly experiments with the brush strokes and his subject matter regress from grand to mundane, while his technique started to mutate from normal “textbook style” to more experimental.

Aries ascendants have beautiful looks and they are somewhat unaware of their attraction and totally ignorant of any romantic or sexual desires. While making bath, Handa said to the Village chief “I’ll probably die alone”, and in Handa-kunhe was blissfully unaware of the crush-brigade he had behind his back. The core of Handa’s character is his senitivity and critical nature. He is never satisfied with his process, even though the others say it is good. The first day when Handa writes in the village, he exhausted himself by overworking but throughout the process he was laughing on his own: his satisfaction is not in the result but in the constant process of effort and perfecting.

However, there is one major flaw in Handa which sets the whole story into motion: his irascibility. he punches a old man in Calligraphy exhibition who criticised his work. It could be Ariesian ego, but it is not. It is a sign of debilitated Mars. Handa has debilitated mars in cancer which makes him lash out without dignity and with very little provocation. This makes him a laughing stock in many situation in both his society and in the village, and he is sometimes seen “assaulted” by the children in the village. He is also seen as petty when he has his lunch with Hiro where he bashes Hiro’s Cucumber-Miso rice, while defending his deplorable Cucumbar-miso rice. Mars is willpower, energy and anger and when it is debilitated it makes one less of a dignified person. This segment I placed at the last because it was one of his core factor that makes Handa the way he is. However since his debilitated Mars is placed in fourth house, it somehow makes him always sheltered in comfortable homes, even in the unlikely of places. The example can be seen in how he was taken care of by the Gotou island villagers with food, company and service.

Sakura Chiyo: Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki Kun (March 27) (Virgo Asc, Aries Sun, Pisces Moon) (South Node an Mercury influenced) (Sun Exalted, Mercury debilitated in Pisces, seventh house)

Sakura Chiyo is a great and exceptional example of Aries Sun. I love her: she is sweet, imaginative, and has a lot of positive qualities like believing in people who are unlikely to be believed (Yuzuki for example). Her Sun sign is exalted in Aswini Constellation or The constellation of the Horse. Sun exaltation people are usually courageous, valiant, pure hearted, adventurous and generous. Chiyo is is all of that, but in her own unique way. She had the courage to confess to her crush in the first episode, and she was valiant enough to stay friends with his crush even after he friendzoned her. She appears to be quite shy and blushing frequently, but she asserts herself when she needs. For example, telling Kashima, a far more charismatic and popular person than her, off when she was being a bother during the set painting session. She often tells Nozaki off when he is being weird with his manga character–this is really good writing, because assertiveness need not be cutthroat all the time.

Reason her own self is reflected the way it is represented must be looked with her Ascendant. She is a Virgo ascendant, and Sun is exalted at the 8th house where the typical exaltation perks of sun fades a little (Sun is best exalted in 1st, 5th, 9th and 10th). However, let’s look at her own self. Virgo is a earthy, practical and Mercury ruled Zodiac sign which signifies The Maidenhood. Virgo ascendants tend to be smaller statured (unless some other planets interfere), generally intellectual and a little on the overthinking side. This is very prominent feature of the both Chiyo and Wakamatsu (who is a Virgo Sun). Virgo ascendants are very meticulous in whatever they do, as we remember Nozaki saying to Chiyo “I have had my eyes on you for quite a long time. I figured whoever could color in that poster so cleanly would do a nice job” in beta-ing his manga.

 Her moon is conjunct with mercury, and moon itself is in Revati Constellation, which is the final constellation and maturation point of mercury. Revati constellation is associated with imagination that transcends reality, and it is said many famous musicians like Mozart or Bach had this moon placement. Chiyo is artistic indeed and very much so as we can see her command on sketching classical style shapes and silhouettes. As moon is quite imaginative in this part and in the Seventh house of marriage and romance, it becomes quite imaginative about that idealistic romance part. But here is the added twist: her mercury, which is also the ruler of her Moon constellation becomes debilitated in Pisces. And when it is debilitated in the Seventh house it makes one frustrated about everything associated with the seventh house: romance, partnership etc. And thus, dear Chiyo is so unlucky in Romance that not only she chooses a drab and dull guy, denser than a black hole but also frustrates her in the process because of the gap of reality and imagination.

  Kurapika: Hunter X Hunter (4th April) (Leo Asc, Aries Sun, Moon in Ascendant) (Venus and South Node influenced) (Saturn in Capricorn, Jupiter Exalted in Cancer)

I was quite interested to analyse Kurapika, and I picked the right one here. Kurapika, as everyone knows is an Aries Sun. Kurapika’s Aries sits in the ninth house of Aries, and it is the ruler of the first house: ascendant Leo. Okay, so this is one of the most favorable and auspicious combination for a leader. Because Sun, which signifies Soul, body, bones, leadership, government is sitting in the house of Higher principle, Higher knowledge, father, teachers. Leo ascendants tend to be very regal and grave in appearance because of the ultra masculine Sun is the ruler of Leo. They are also very dutiful, faithful to their friends and deep supporters of justice and the ones that are right. Kurapika was born to be a leader and although he doesn’t become a “leader” of that sort, but we can agree that he is not someone you can trifle and get away with. 

So, if he is born in ultra male Sun influence then why the hell is he not so stereotypically masculine? So here is the answer. He is born in the Varani constellation or the Constellation of the Bearer, which is Venus influenced. Varani is the second constellation in the celestial cabinet and it falls in the middle part of Aries. That is one part: the other part is his moon sign. Since his moon sits in the ascendant it brings some feminine qualities which is unlike the Sun ruled ascendant of Leo. Thus here the native is graced with a thin, pale body and with an anxious vigilant disposition. They are often distrustful of others and have hard time opening up. To note, Kurapika’s moon sign falls in Magha constellation, or the Constellation of the Luck which is a South Node ruled constellation. As South node denotes detachment, renunciation and distrust it brings a sort of cold detachment in his character. 

Both of Kurapika’s Sun and Moon signs are incredibly strong. Bharani is one of the most violent energies in existance but as it’s symbol is a Vagina, the violence is internalised. These people tend to internalise positive and negetive emotions with great intensity. When Kurapika lost the entire Kurta clan by the Spiders, he internalised his pain so greatly that his life motto became to take revenge on the Spiders. Interesting thing to note, his Bharani Sun which sits in the ninth house is the house of Higher Philosophy, which can also signify one’s greater purpose in life. The energy of Bharani is especially corrosive because of its associated deity: The God of Death, and Death he inflicts upon Pakunoda and Uvogin, two of the spiders involved in the Kurta Genocide.

He has another interesting combination: His sixth house Capricorn has Saturn (in Saturn’s own house), and in his twelfth house Jupiter is Exalted. So the benefic planet of expansion and comfort directly aspects the malefic planet limitation and hardship. Saturn in the sixth house of enemies, diseases and debts, mixed with Capricorn’s energy of hard work and patience makes Kurapika one of the potently powerful people in Hunter X Hunter, even if he isn’t at par with many of them. Here Saturn gives such sufferings and pain that it gets unbearable, but at the end one shall succeed if one keeps going on. Saturn is directly aspected by Jupiter from the 12th house of isolation, liberation of soul. This is meaningful indeed! Jupiter in 12th house indicated the leaving of home or leaving your comfort zones behind for the sake of your own liberation. Jupiter indeed gives liberation of the soul in this position but it also indicates the act of giving liberation from injustice, since it is aspected by the Planet of Time and Justice: Saturn. When they look at each other it creates an extremely balanced, controlled and equally industrious person who has his energy of conviction and justice on his side and he will execute it at any cost, for the greater good.

It may be far fetched but I also think of Saturn-Jupiter axis in Kurapika;’s chart when I see his chains. Saturn as the planet of limitation represents many things: isolation, chains, and as metal (in Vedic astrology): iron. Where as Jupiter tends to expand. Chains expand to any length by Kurapika’s command, which again juxtaposes this completely paradoxical combination.  

Erina Nakiri: Shokugeki no Souma (March 23) (Taurus Asc, Aries Sun, Gemini Moon) (South Node and North Node Influenced) (Saturn and Venus in Ascendant, Sun Exalted)

Erina is depicted as a perfectionist, royalty of the Culinary world in Shokugeki no Soma. she is called the “God Tongue” who enjoys haute cuisine on a daily basis. Here’s what I think when I look at her chart: Ice princess with a heart of fire. First of all, Not the whole of Aries is considered Exaltation point for Sun, it is deeply exalted from 0-3 degrees in the first third of Aries, which consists of the Aswini Constellation or the Constellation of the Horse. These people usually tend to be naturally charismatic, pleasant to be around and unquestionable leaders: no harshness at all, because they are so self secure they don’t need to prove themselves. But that is more Satoshi Isshiki rather than Erina Nakiri isn’t it? Erina does have a penchant to prove herself so desperately. Why is that? you’ll only need to look at her ascendant.

Her ascendant is Taurus, a Venus ruled Zodiac. It is an earthy, stable, materialistic sign that loves every thing artistic, luxurious and perfect. Erina is all about that and more. Her Ascendant has one of the most powerful conjunction of all time: Venus and Saturn. Where Saturn feels quite uncomfortable being in the ascendant, it feels less uncomfortable because it’s sitting with Venus, it’s friend. The ascendant is all about the Body, personality and how other people see you. Saturn in the ascendant brings anxiety, fear and rigidness in the personality that does not appreciate breaking rules, because Saturn gets debilitated in the first house, the natural house of Aries, the debilitated Saturn brings inflated ego, and when it’s hurt, it will seek for blood. Thus Erina in times is quite the rigid little thing, and she maintained strong rivalry with Soma, just because he had “offended” her. Venus on the other hand is a soft, sensuous planet, and although it is rather comfortable in 7th house, (house of people, marriage, bonds) it does great in the first house, because in first house it brings Beauty, exceptional, awe-inspiring beauty. combined with Saturnian rigidity, it brings the textbook definition of ice princess.

Let’s see how Erina’s mind thinks? Her moon sits in Gemini an airy intellectual sign which can sometimes be problematic for moon, which is a watery and emotional planet. Her moon sits in Ardra Constellation or the Constellation of Moisture. The ruler of this Constellation is the North Node, which signifies ambition, greed, illusion, inflation of ego. Erina gets her ego hurt quite often, which should not be a trait of someone who has her sun Exalted, but it is. Because this constellation, which has all the positive qualities of ambition and achieving material things, it also gives a fragile ego as well. The symbol of this constellation is a teardrop, which is also a symbol of suffering. This includes that the mind must have undergone suffering. If this point of view is seen with the Saturn in the ascendant (the signifactor of suffering, hardship and hard work), Erina did suffer in her early life in the hands of her extremist father who wanted her daughter to be the best in the culinary world. It is interesting to see that her sun sits in the 12th house (house of imagination, isolation, jail, and liberation) and she was isolated from the world, by her father! Erina underwent suffering in a manner which is very North-Node like: she was brainwashed and gaslighted continuously. The North node which is the signficator of illusions and madness casted shadow in the her earlier life through the mental abuses of her father, and her Saturnian ascendant internalised it as her ultimate reality.

She remains festuring in this fear until the very end when Rivals rebelled against the new order of her Father’s making. As a part of the rebell team herself, she pushed herself and her team to not only win, but also break free from her own fear. This is where her exalted sun comes in play. Sun, which is the natural significator of soul is sitting in the 12th house of liberation of the soul. Here Sun allows the person to liberate herself from the ties of the mortal world, here the terrible past and the Saturnian fear of her father. Coincidentally enough, Sun is also the significator of father as well. It solidifies the theme that the cause of her fear (the father), is also the key to her liberation. She used her 12th house energy of imagination and liberation to battle her 12th house of isolation, which is fascinating.

astrology and past lives…

MOONINGEMINI-SAGITTARIUS…continued

SUN-MOONCOMBINATIONS

sun in aries… these people use their intelligence, communication skills, and imagination to become leaders. in school they may have been leaders academically and socially; later, they pursue excellence and prominence in their chosen careers. unless the sun is badly afflicted, there is little, if any, manifestation of the self-centeredness common to some arians; the outgoing energy of gemini-sagittarius seems to counterbalance much of the “I, me, mine” tendencies of aries. in prior lives these individuals were involved with idealistic pursuits, but as followers, sometimes under frustrating circumstances. now they seek to become leaders.

though they may become involved in causes, this is not always true, as it usually is with the aquarian. rather, those arians with a moon-gemini-sagittarius karmic configuration set certain idealistic standards which they try to reach and uphold in whatever they do, especially with regard to intellectual and philosophical pursuits. they do not possess a great deal of physical stamina unless fixed signs are prominent in their charts. they operate mainly on bursts of nervous energy and must be careful not to push themselves too hard or they may damage their health.

sun in taurus… these individuals pursue ideals and duties with the steadfastness and persistence typical of taurus. they persevere even if all their fantasies regarding that which they serve have been stripped away. whether the object of their devotion is a cause, person, or job, they continue to pursue it. even though the frequent mood changes typical of moon-gemini-sagittarius may cause them to proclaim loudly that they are ready to “chuck it all,” they rarely do. the pattern has been repeated through many previous lifetimes: the staunch, dogged pursuit of a chosen course of action no matter what comes along in the process. in many ways, this is an admirable trait; however, the danger lies in not knowing the proper time to cut losses and move on should their pursuits prove not to be in their best interests.

unlike the arian, the taurian with this pattern is not a leader by nature. of necessity, these people may assume such roles from time to time, but usually depend on those with more fiery natures to take initial action. once the course of action is chosen, however, the taurian sticks with it.

the loyalty of these people is generally above reproach. though taurians may disagree with you in private, if they have cast their lots with you they will defend you staunchly in public. the danger in this trait is that should loyalty be misplaced, it will take more than persuasion or even disillusionment to cause them to withdraw it. these individuals need to learn to view their needs as being as important as the needs of a leader or cause. it involves breaking patterns formed in many lifetimes, but it can be done by utilizing the flexibility inherent in gemini-sagittarius to achieve the necessary equilibrium.

sun in gemini… communication abilities are meant to be developed as fully as possible. these individuals love to read, are knowledgeable on many subjects, and, unless water signs are prominent in their charts, practically never stop talking. the telephone is an important part of their lives and often they love to write long, newsy letters. to some, they may seem “scatterbrained,” but this is only because they have many divergent interests and are capable of pursuing more than one thing at a time.

these individuals are the peter pans of the zodiac; they never really grow up. they project an eternally child-like image that can be alternately aggravating and endearing. in prior lives, they may have been weighed down with responsibilities and longed to escape from them. in the later lives, they turned away responsibility altogether and became wanderers. in their current lifetimes, they don’t actually shirk responsibility but try whenever possible to avoid assuming it. they may have trouble deciding on their life’s work because emotionally they are responding to many past lifetimes in which they had different talents and interests. counseling may be necessary to help them determine which of these abilities is best suited for present-life circumstances. this is very important as they need to find adequate outlets for their ideas and nervous energy.

sun in cancer… these individuals are warm and sensitive as well as outgoing and gregarious, and are usually well-liked and popular. at times they experience mood swings, though, that can turn them from social butterflies to recluses. they are generous and giving, and women of this sign in particular are most maternal in nature. however, they can carry this to extremes, so that others, instead of being “nurtured,” feel smothered and pull away, leaving the cancer-sun people confused and embittered. this tendency is a remnant from one of two past-life patterns; these individuals were either in positions where they desperately needed help or comfort and couldn’t find it, or they were parents with many children. the main thing to be aware of with this configuration is to give others enough breathing space and to make sure they want help before giving it.

sun in leo… these people shine. particularly if taurus, leo, libra, or pisces is on the ascendant, they are generally quite attractive physically. their charisma and charm transcend all bounds, though they may be a bit superficial. they can be very generous and giving to their families and close friends, but most of their other relationships are marked by shallowness. this is not intentional; rather, these people try to maintain close relationships with all they meet. however, they come into contact with so many people that this is virtually impossible. often they spread themselves too thin and promise more than they can deliver.

in prior lives, these individuals may have been well-intentioned political leaders who entertained high hopes for themselves and for their country, and did the best they could to please everyone - often failing miserably in the attempt, but never ceasing to try. now, in their current lifetimes, they are still subconsciously pursuing those high hopes, which is fine so long as they are careful not to promise what they may not be able to produce. these people must learn to budget their time and to limit their promises. they will be liked, respected, and appreciated much more if they are honest with others - and themselves - about what they can and cannot do.

sun in virgo… virgos with this karmic configuration also have a tendency to spread themselves too thin. however, these individuals, rather than simply making promises, actually take on the work and do it. they sometimes find themselves working long into the night, trying to live up to all the responsibilities they have assumed. for such people, helping others is a vital part of life and they only really feel worthy when they are serving someone else. they can be generous to a fault, and rarely complain.

if the sun is afflicted, however, they may become “martyrs,” complaining loudly about being “used” then wondering why others no longer ask them for help. although helping others is a vital part of their lives, at the same time they have a tendency to resent those they help. this need to serve is a pattern learned in many past lives. the insecurities in the more negative manifestations of the pattern result from subconscious memories of lifetimes when these individuals were shamefully used by others who cared little about them. because these people tend to take on so many different projects, they push themselves to keep going for long periods on nervous energy, with little food or sleep. eventually this can lead to total collapse, as these people do not possess an endless supply of physical stamina. they need to guard against trying to help too many people, for they can damage themselves both physically and psychologically in the process.

sun in libra… these people love parties and groups, and see every life situation as an opportunity for social contact. their social calendars are always crowded, and their professions are likely to bring them into contact with many different types of people. law and education are excellent fields for these individuals. they have many divergent hobbies and interests, and may be compulsive “joiners,” wanting to become a part of any group or association connected with any of their interests. they usually are gracious and have excellent manners, and can relate well to almost anybody. like the virgoan, they enjoy helping people, but the resentment which the virgoan may experience is absent in those with sun in libra. the libran with the moon-gemini-sagittarius pattern has an excellent sense of humor and likes to crack jokes. they can be moody, however. the gemini-sagittarius dual nature coupled with the occasional unbalancing of the libran scales can catapult these people from charming openness into the darkest moods. their unpredictability can weigh considerably on those around them.

the sullenness appears to stem from past existences in which these people were hermits, loners, who had at the most one other person to whom they were devoted totally. in their current lives, when heavy transits trigger the dark moods, they may instinctively try to withdraw, but find themselves constantly in social situations regardless. the current lifetime may represent an opportunity to develop the gemini-sagittarius balance and communicative skills through constant interaction with other human beings - something which was avoided in prior lifetimes.

sun in scorpio… these indivuals are considerably less communicative than most people with the moon-gemini-sagittarius pattern. their dialogues tend to be internal, as the most knowledgeable people they know appear to be themselves. they are more inclined to engage in intellectual discussions than in socializing and small talk. authors with this combination usually prefer writing non-fiction rather than popular novels. in all their communications they display a power and intensity that is lacking in those of the other sun signs who share the same moon pattern. their drive to acquire information is strong and these indivuals will read, go to lectures, buy self-help tapes, or watch educational tv to gain more knowledge. they listen and absorb, but give out information only when they feel it is to their advantage to do so. when they do disseminate information, they have a tendency to use high-flown, euphemistic language that goes right over the heads of most of their listeners. this is the result of combining the sagittarian desire to share information with the secrecy of scorpio.

these people possess subconscious awareness of the nature of the universe acquired in previous lives and use it to pursue the ideals of truth (represented by sagittarius). they can make excellent teachers, doctors, chemists, physicists, and astronomers. in prior lives they may have been physicians, magicians, herbalists, or alchemists, and they are capable of pursuing the modern equivalents of these professions.

sun in sagittarius… these people use their affability and communicative skills to advance themselves professionally. they have a knack for meeting and impressing the right people and professional success at some stage in life is almost certain. innate idealism causes them to strive for perfection in all they do and they are often too hard on themselves when they fail to live up to their own standards - which sometimes are impossibly high. like those with sun in gemini, these indivuals are extremely talkative and often are gifted orators, punctuating conversations with effusive gestures. their outgoing optimistic nature serves them well; however, they need to guard against being boastful and overly idealistic. nervousness also can be a problem, even leading to strokes in extreme cases.

their prior lifetimes are hard to categorize. cases in our files include princes, paupers, doctors, and thieves. however, it appears that in choosing to be born at a time when there was a heavy karmic concentration across the jovial, outgoing gemini-sagittarius axis, these indivuals were all reacting to one particular past lifetime which was so terrible and so depressing that the sorrow lingering from it still threatens the peace of the present.

sun in capricorn… much of this individual’s energy, both physical and emotional, is channeled into pursuing ambitions. the love of social contact, affable nature, and desire for freedom characteristic of gemini-sagittarius are still there, but the innate conservative nature of capricorn makes these people more inhibited in their self-expression than others with the moon-gemini-sagittarius pattern. they may feel frustrated because although they want to behave in a liberated and unrestricted manner, their innate respect for traditions causes them to restrain themselves all too often.

these people are completing one karmic cycle and beginning another. in many prior incarnations they were wanderers, as typified by this axis, who had little concern for others or for the beliefs and mores of their societies; they did pretty much as they pleased. in their current lifetimes, they are discovering the value of tradition and social custom and finding ways to use these in pursuing their goals. they need to bear in mind, however, that traditions were never meant to be chains, only guidelines. it is important that these individuals learn to view society’s conventions in their proper perspective and know when to follow them and when to deviate from them. they also need to take time out from work occasionally for a long vacation and indulge their emotional desire for freedom.

sun in aquarius… this individual’s mental gifts are channeled into science, modern technology, and other areas requiring inventiveness such as computer science and aerospace. sociable and group-orientated, such persons often join organizations, clubs, or unions, particularly those espousing new ideas and modern concepts.

in many prior lifetimes, they worked on developing their mental capacities but lacked focus or direction. they acquired many interests and much knowledge but did not put this knowledge to concrete use. in their current incarnations, they are applying everything they’ve learned in the past toward advancing knowledge and technology. however, they should take care not to get so lost in the pursuit of new ideas and technological advances that they lose sight of the need for close, interpersonal relationships.

sun in pisces… these individuals have high ideals and are often concerned with spiritual advancement. frequently, however, they become caught up in fantasy and illusion, seeing the world through the proverbial rose-colored glasses. if their illusions are stripped away, they may seek to escape from the world, possibly through alcohol or drugs, but more likely by retreating. they might, for example, join some kind of religious order or retire to an out-of-the-way place where they can live in solitude. their keen intellects and fertile imaginations may lead them to careers as writers, artists, poets, or musicians. inspirational themes might be chosen and a great deal of passion channeled into their work so that their art sometimes seems divinely inspired.

in prior incarnations, these people were probably mystics, constantly searching for god. at some time they likely wrote religious tracts or poetry, or expressed their faith through art or music. they again feel a desire to follow this path in the present and should not hesitate to use their talents accordingly. but they should also bear in mind that retreat - for artistic purposes or spiritual development - should not be total. the true test of a saint is being able to retain one’s faith while living in the “real” world.

MOONINTAURUS-SCORPIO…continued

SUN-MOONCOMBINATIONS

sun in aries… these entities need to develop a sense of identity, to acknowledge their worth as individuals, and learn to believe in themselves before they can fully re-develop the powers remaining in their psyches from prior incarnations. there are deep-rooted insecurities lurking in the subconscious relating to wrongs they committed in past lifetimes, possibly resulting from misuses of their powers. in their current incarnations, though these individuals express the usual “I am” sentiments typical of the arian, at times insecurities can become overwhelming. it is obvious to everyone else, however, that they have keen, clever, insightful minds (scorpio) and at least some degree of talent in finance or the arts (taurus). the insecurities usually show up at an early age, and the parents should consider carefully the child’s need for encouragement and understanding. if problems with self-esteem persist into adulthood, the burden of support will fall on friends. it is important that family and friends convince these people that they are fully capable of using their talents to help themselves, rather than continuously doing them favors. only when they come to believe in their own worth as individuals will they be able to use their power effectively and achieve the necessary taurus-scorpio equilibrium.

sun in taurus… the individual’s powers are chiefly of an artistic and/or material nature, although, if other factors in the chart concur, there can be definite metaphysical and spiritual power as well. if pluto is involved in the configuration in any way, the early life can be fraught with difficulties relating to power and power struggles. if such people discipline themselves to transcend the negative effects of these power struggles, their metaphysical abilities can bloom to an unexpected degree.

in prior lives, these individuals had few financial worries and exercised considerable skill at bettering themselves financially. investments proved sound and in some lives they may have inherited money or married into wealthy families. now there may be a certain weariness with mundane matters such as making a living, and these persons may experience subconscious longings for prior incarnations when material security came easily. however, in order to attain the needed taurus-scorpio balance, they probably will experience poverty at some point and be forced to draw upon their money-making skills - as well as their past-life powers over the material world - in order to establish financial security for themselves. then, and only then, will they be completely free to indulge their compulsions to serve and experience the inner satisfaction that results from serving others.

sun in gemini… this individual’s powers are mainly in the area of communication. such people are good with words, clever at expressing themselves, and possess definite oratory power. compelling and persistent in expressing their viewpoints, they are capable of convincing skeptics of the validity of their ideas - right or wrong - even though they may change their own minds daily. these individuals probably have experienced prior lifetimes when they had the ability and the opportunity to spread their ideas, and others when they had many ideas which they wished to express but were inhibited in some way from doing so.

sun in cancer… this individual is a homebody, maternal and caring in nature, and can be quite intense in their expression of these characteristics. such individuals possess definite powers of leadership and may show an interest in politics, but probably prefer to stay behind the scenes rather than be in the public eye. therefore, they probably would be more comfortable as campaign managers rather than candidates for office. the quiet and home-loving tendencies of cancer are not incompatible with the use of the innate power of the taurus-scorpio axis; using insight and cleverness, a cancerian individual with a moon-taurus-scorpio pattern easily can find ways to remain with their own chosen territory and still be an effective influence in service to others. one way, of course, which comes naturally to the cancerian, is through one’s children.

sun in leo… these individuals have been born aware of their value as human beings and are capable of “shining like the sun.” therefore, they have a definite advantage in using taurus-scorpio powers to serve others and they enjoy doing it immensely. fully prepared to be in the public eye, these people are quite capable of performing before an audience, whether it be in the arts, education or politics. they have great charm and charisma, and often possess such personal magnetism that their presence may be felt in a room even before they are seen. as with the sun in taurus, however, these entities have come from many lifetimes of financial ease. they are full of creative ideas, most of them good ones. however, they lack the inclination to do mundane work to make a living. therefore, their tendency is to seek the financial support of others, motivated both by the laziness of taurus and leo and the desire to spend their time working on their own creative ideas rather than “wasting it” working at mundane jobs.

there may also be a “glitch” in their inner natures. such people may have a preference for unorthodox sexual or romantic practices. this can take the form of strange sexual behavior or a tendency to become involved with partners who are totally unsuitable for them.

sun in virgo… the sun-moon sextile or trine implied by this planetary placement denotes a predominately positive personality type. like the individual with the sun in leo, this person is pleasant and charming, though, of course, considerably more reserved and, like the cancerian, more comfortable remaining behind the scenes. this position combines virgoan diligence with taurian and scorpionic fixity. such individuals are loyal and hardworking, and very careful in performing any tasks. they deal well with people and can be quite tactful and diplomatic. however, they have a tendency to push themselves too hard, and often their health can suffer from overwork; yet they still hesitate to slow their pace. they may make mistakes, but rarely (if ever) make the same mistake twice. hardworking and faithful, they can be counted on not to try to steal the spotlight! also, they rarely reveal secrets.

in prior lives, these individuals found that the best application of their power was subtle, using tact, diplomacy and “casual” suggestion rather than an overt, bombastic manner. they may have been advisors to kings, or other political or military leaders. they may have been secretaries, bookkeepers or other administrative assistants whose opinions were so trusted by their employers that they actually had as much power as the leaders.

in their current lives, these individuals are still comfortable in this role and prefer to continue with it. they need only use the virgoan power of discrimination to find the best niche for satisfying their own particular compulsion to serve.

sun in libra… this individual possesses a great deal of personal charm and magnetism, an easygoing, loving nature, and most likely beautiful manners. such people are most comfortable when around other people and function extremely well in social situations. they feel comfortable in groups and are welcome members of those groups. relationship-oriented and also extremely sensual and sexual by nature, they are considered “good lovers” by their partners. as with all librans, they possess a strong sense of justice and have the power to work toward justice in situations about which they feel strongly. they love art, particularly that which expresses powerful emotions, such as the paintings of van gogh or the music of wagner. their power over others is exercised with libran charm. they are more pragmatic than most librans who believe in the importance of society over the importance of the individual. money is of greater concern to them than it is to most librans and they are more careful with it. as with the cancerian individual, there may be an interest in the military, but the libran motivation is to work toward peace for all rather than “fighting for one’s country.”

in prior incarnations, these individuals probably have been soldiers or diplomats, and have found themselves in situations where the interests of those they represented depended on their own personal charm and magnetism, and where good manners and the ability to use power subtlety, through gentle persuasion rather than overt force were vital. although in current lifetimes there may be temptations to resort to scorpionic domination and excessiveness, for these individuals it is best to make use of power in the gracious manner of the libran.

sun in scorpio… these individuals are powerhouses, possessing personal magnetism to a degree desired and envied by many. their projection is outstanding, and people probably refer again and again to the sheer magnetism in their eyes. they are capable of exerting strong sexual power. equally comfortable operating behind the scenes or in public, their opportunities depend on other chart factors. whether out in front or behind the scenes, however, these individuals can and do utilize a great deal of personal power, and have the capability to accomplish much - for good or evil.

in past incarnations, they have either earned or inherited positions of power, and have had control of sufficient financial resources to accomplish whatever they chose. they knew “where the bodies were buried” so to speak, that is, in the past (and probably in the present as well) they possessed enough cunning and manipulative know-how to discover and use information about people and situations to suit their own ends. they have been (and still are) naturally master psychologists and can deal with people in a most effective manner to attain their objectives. in prior incarnations, however, they probably had a tendency to get carried away with their power and to abuse it. in their current incarnations, these people may again experience this temptation; the best path for them to take is to focus both their power and the compulsion to use it to make the world a better place.

sun in sagittarius… intensity, financial savvy, and the desire to help one’s fellow beings find a natural outlet in the idealism and expansiveness of sagittarius. because of the innate power denoted by the moon-taurus-scorpio configuration, these individuals generally choose to enter such fields as law, religion or higher education. the personal magnetism inherent in taurus-scorpio enables them to exercise strong personal appeal, and the joviality and affability of sagittarius endows them with natural talent for expressing their ideas in an attractive manner.

in prior lives, these individuals have probably been inhibited in expressing their ideas and in using their power; now, it’s “no holds barred.” there is probably little temptation to abuse power because the idealism of sagittarius almost insured that the person’s inclinations will be toward service. however, the sagittarian tendency to become embittered when ideals are stripped away can find an outlet in the more negative scorpionic traits of jealousy, vindictiveness and vengefulness. the individual can circumvent this danger by realizing that ideals are only goals to strive for and that few can be met. if this pitfall is avoided, these sagittarians with moon-taurus-scorpio karmic configurations have the potential to accomplish much toward bettering those they touch.

sun in capricorn… individuals with these aspects in their charts find a focus for their financial savvy, basic common sense and business know-how in the business world. they are comfortable in the public eye. the harmony of the sun-moon sextile or trine can produce a pleasing personality that makes both personal and business relationships easy and beneficial. these people have a certain amount of power, which, although existing on a subtle level as well, may materialize as political power. they may be successful in government or climb to the top of the executive ladder in a major corporation.

in prior lives, these persons were ambitious but had their ambitions frustrated by circumstances beyond their control. perhaps they were born into poverty in a social structure which offered little opportunity for the poor to better themselves; or, perhaps they were born into an appropriate social structure but died young.

in their current incarnations, they find it much easier to pursue their ambitions and rise to the top. however, they must bear in mind that their abilities and opportunities are gifts, and that responsibilities to others come with increased worldly power and gratified ambitions. while the innate coldness of capricorn is, in this configuration, tempered by the warmth of taurus and the passion of scorpio, it can still cause these people at times to think only of themselves. if this pitfall is avoided, they can attain their own personal ambitions and experience the gratification that comes from using power and position to accomplish something positive for the world.

sun in aquarius… the inventive capabilities of this individual are outstanding. there is a subconscious memory of the knowledge of the inner workings of the cosmos remaining from past lives that one need only re-learn and apply to modern technology. interest and talent in the sciences are present and this person could do well in such a career. this individual’s powers are best channeled through the sciences, or possibly through labor union activities or other forms of group activity. insight and intelligence related to the planet uranus (which rules aquarius and is exalted in scorpio) are in the forefront in the current incarnation and serve as an excellent channel for the individual’s innate power.

in past incarnations, these people probably studied science in its more radical form and their theories may have conflicted with the world-views of the time. they may have met with resistance from the scientific establishment and even been persecuted. in those incarnations, they probably lacked the power to convince others more conservative than themselves of the relevancy of their discoveries and ideas. in their current incarnations, the power represented by the moon-taurus-scorpio placement will enable them to prove themselves in ways their prior personalities could not. past life experiences also may have revolved around radical politics. they may have been champions of the people (or followers of such leaders) in a world where power was in the hands of the aristocracy. in either case, these individuals now have the capabilities to present new, innovative ideas - scientific or political - to the public and to work effectively for their acceptance.

sun in pisces… with this configuration, the basic secrecy typical of scorpio and the reclusiveness of pisces combine to bring forth a personality who absolutely refuses to exercise power in a public manner, and who has an almost pathological need to exert power over other from behind the scenes. these individuals do whatever they can to keep their activities and sometimes their very existence secret. they exercise covert power most effectively and produce results which are felt by people in the outside world, but they don’t want anyone to know of their roles in effecting those results. in fact, they derive an almost perverse pleasure from the fact that they are so powerful, yet no one knows about them. this compulsive secrecy appears to stem from lifetimes in which these people exercised a great deal of power, either spiritual or mundane, but eventually came to grief directly or indirectly from the use of that power. in their current lives, they still seek to use their power, but believe they will be much safer if no one knows about them. there is, of course, nothing wrong with this need for secrecy so long as this desire does not lead to activities that are detrimental to others.

astrology and past lives…

MOONINTAURUS-SCORPIO

principle… I use my power or die.

transformation… I live to serve through power.

the placement of the moon in a taurus-scorpio karmic configuration seems to relate to a past-life history concerned with power - magical, political, charismatic, mundane, economic, spiritual and, in many cases, sexual. there is almost a pathological desire for power before it is achieved, and once it has been achieved, the person executes that power with almost mystical skill. sometimes the individual uses power for the benefit of others; at other times, depending on other factors in the chart, it is used for sheer, selfish ego gratification. as with any manifestation of the sign scorpio, there seems to be no in-between. either these individuals use their power totally for their own purposes, or they exercise it in an exalted manner, devoted to uplifting humankind.

the presence of the caring, nurturing moon in the spiritually powerful taurus-scorpio axis relates to service to one’s fellow beings. unlike the virgo-pisces axis, however, taurus-scorpio service is not that of the savior-martyr but rather of the charismatic leader who spreads the word through personal magnetism.

of course, there are taurus-scorpio individuals who seem to be oblivious to the concept of serving others and whose powers seem to be focused on bettering themselves. this statement is not meant to be interpreted as indicating that taurus-scorpio individuals who use their power only for their own purposes are bad or evil people. though they can be motivated by malice, more often than not they are simply self-centered people for whom the exercise of power is a game, who enjoy seeing how they can affect the lives of other people.

indeed, one of the most positive manifestations of the taurus-scorpio axis is power over oneself. although taurians and scorpions alike have a reputation for laziness and self-indulgence, particularly when the moon is involved, they also possess strong will power. for example, taurus-scorpio people have a tendency to put on weight, but once they make up their minds to take it off, they don’t stop until they’ve reached their goals; rather than becoming discouraged they treat the ups and downs of the scale as challenges. they also have power to look inward, and to reach the deepest stages of consciousness while practicing meditation or past-life regression.

this power over oneself does not always manifest positively. sometimes taurians, because of their strong desire for financial security, will stick for years with jobs or professions they dislike, forcing themselves to put up with boredom for the sake of their material well-being, thereby robbing themselves of emotional satisfaction. scorpions have been known to practice severe asceticism; by mortifying the body, they attempt to liberate the mind and spirit.

another keyword that could be used to describe the effect of a moon taurus-scorpio configuration is compulsion. emotions, habit patterns and unconscious drives remaining in the psyche from past lifetimes create a compulsion to use power. this compulsion can be focused for either good or evil. as the soul reaches a certain stage in its progress, an absolute obsession with serving humanity develops. if the individual’s power is not used to serve, the omission creates the most devastating karmic weight. to serve humankind, on the other hand, lightens the karmic load and releases the soul.

ifsaturn is involved in a moon taurus-scorpio pattern, the individual has in prior incarnations experienced both power and the compulsion to use it, but has been frustrated in this desire by circumstances beyond one’s control. the patterns will probably be repeated in the current lifetime, and one will undoubtedly find them more inhibiting than ever. such persons must find some outlet for their energies which can enable them to indulge this compulsion in a positive manner while transcending limitations imposed by society or other outside factors. if uranus is involved in the pattern, in the past the person experienced breaks and interruptions in the use of power. sometimes one loses everything and has to start all over again. the secret to attaining the balance represented by this planetary position is to realize that the separations and upsets caused by uranus are transitory in nature; the losses have a purpose, however elusive it may seem. when a contractor wants to construct a new building, remnants of old structures on the site must be cleared away first. the new building will be far superior to the one that is destroyed. the individual can utilize the innate inventiveness and mental agility of uranus to restructure their life after a loss and make it better than it was before. if neptune is involved in the configuration, the person has been quite psychic and spiritually aware in prior lives but, at the same time, under a cloud of illusion about both the nature and extent of personal power. such persons may have been unaware of the very existence of their power. for this reason, in the present lifetime they may be unaware of their talents and abilities and suffer from an unwarranted lack of self-esteem. pluto in a taurus-scorpio karmic configuration hints at the presence of even greater innate power. these individuals probably have known from an early age that they have a certain amount of power over the physical world, and to some degree can manipulate people, situations, sometimes even matter to suit their own purposes. they are likely to be attracted to such practices as magic and witchcraft, and may grow adept in the use of them. if they embrace such disciplines as meditation and past-life regression, they find that they can reach the deepest levels of consciousness and perhaps even travel mentally to the farthest limits of space and time.
