ASTROLOGY~ Some of you may think this is total bull. Some of you may not know what to think of it, because your horoscopes are sometimes right and sometimes wrong. Some of you may study or know about astrology because of your own interests. I dont care what your beliefs or non-beliefs are about it. My sign, Gemini, is who I am, and the information that is provided about my natal chart below describes me as well as I ever could.

If your horoscope in the newspaper or magazines doesnt apply to you, I strongly believe that it is because the horoscopes which are published in magazines are based only on the Sun. They do not account for the Moon, or the other planets and houses in your natal chart. (If you dont understand this, dont worry. I'll explain in a minute.) I believe that this is the reason that Astrology is considered "pseudoscience" or an "occult science".


I AM A GEMINI...but....


Your main (Sun) sign is not all there is. It is the primary thing in your chart, but it does not explain everything. Your natal chart is drawn based not only on your birthdate, but the year, date, time, and place of your birth. It is complex, and I don't even understand all of it. The following is a copy of interpretations of the placements of my Sun, Moon, and twelve houses. A full chart would include other elements, and planets too, but I have left off the planets to keep this semi-reasonably readable!

SOMEONE ELSE'S INTERPRETATION OF MY CHART


I didnt write this.....All text below is by Michael McClain, writer of Astrology-Numerology.com.

SUN- PRIMARY NATURE: GEMINI

The Sun is in this third sign of the zodiac form 21 May until 21 June each year. The symbol for Gemini is the Twins, and its planetary ruler is Mercury.

In Gemini the Sun is active, restless and changeable. You like plenty of variety in your everyday activities, in your friends, and even in your diet. Your interests are many and diverse-- almost anything will attract your attention if only for a brief time. Truly, this is the sign of the jack-of-all-trades. As the story goes, you may find that unless you can develop your powers of perserverance, you may be the master of none. Your varied interests can result in a tendency for you to spread yourself too thin, sometimes failing to follow through on projects you've begun.

Being very curious, you want to know and experience as much as you can. Gemini is the sign of duality. You find it difficult to limit yourself to one job, to one relationship, or one hobby, as you constantly seek variety and mental adventure. You scatter your energies because you don't want to miss anything. You are a lifelong student, never tiring of learning new subjects. You collect facts and tidbits of data, but you may not always have the big picture.

To the Gemini person, communication is of utmost importance. You flourish on ideas, with a mind that is ever so quick and curious. You are a person who enjoys talking and writing. All sorts of communication ideas appeal to your nature. You are aware of all that is going on around you, and you want to understand and participate in it all. You are hard to pin down, and even harder to beat in a debate. Your abilities of combining quick comprehension, and the communication of this comprehension to others, are the hallmarks of your sign. You can talk yourself into and out of situations with ease. Often mercury people (Gemini's ruling planet is Mercury) take mischievous delight in disconcerting slower minds with their fast paced mental antics. You like to be around people, and you never do well working alone or on any routine type job.

Extrememly friendly, you enjoy companionship, and really thrive on it. Just as you don't like to be without activity, you don't like to be alone. You are likely to have a very wide circle of friends with whom you enjoy many activities--movies, games, conversation, and such. You are naturally outgoing and possess a sparkling wit. You are apt to become quickly bored with conservative types that can't make a decision or agree with your need to impose change. Not being very introspective or reflective, often you don't understand yoru motivations or the motivations of others. So in many ways, relationships can be shallow and superficial. Your restless mercurial nature requires constant excitement and change, or you'll become very disspirited and morose.

MOON- EMOTIONAL LIFE: ARIES

An Aries Moon produces subconscious reactions in your nature that are highly assertive. You respond to life as though it was an adventure. This Moon produces one who is open to new ideas and one who is highly self-motivated. You have a strong underlying drive for success that is associated with your emotional nature. You tend to feel with your ego, as your feelings tend to compete with your ego much of the time. Your senses are quick. So much so, that you may seem pushy at times. Your temperament can be uneven, liable to flare ups at the slightest provocation. You make quick decisions, trusting your sense perceptions, and acting immediately without reflection. You jump into action from your quick feelings instead of from reason. You have an active mind, and what you are thinking is often quickly verbalized. When this emotional side of your nature is in charge, you tend to say and do things with little forethought and planning.

With Moon in Aries you're enthusiastic and naive, each day becomes a new adventure. You express a joy of living and people are attracted to you for it. Even so, you have a bit of the rogue and rascal in you.

You can be emotionally detached from the people around you, somewhat reluctant to ask for help even when you need it. The nature that has developed and the habits learned make you very independent. You feel with your ego. Yu don't much care for advice, and rarely follow the advice you get. There is much in your instinctive nature that is original and restless. Sometimes you get too assertive, and those that know you well realize you have a quick temper. You aren't one who always plays by the rules, as you are someting of a renegade. To a degree, Moon in Aries hides a sense of insecurity behind an independent and assertive exterior.

Extremely competitive, you love a challenge from a worthy opponent. You tend to see just about everything as a challenge and everyone as an opponent. Its hard for you to give in on anything and compromise is generally an option you don't excercise. Intensely individualistic, it's hard to see someone else's point of vies. Oddly enough, when it comes to a romantic partner, you'll insist on someone who is not shy about standing up to you.

RISING/ASCENDANT/1ST HOUSE- YOUR PERSONALITY: AQUARIUS

Aquarius rising produces a personality that is creative, independent and detatched. It is a sign that suggests many unique qualities. Often, an unusual personality which is different and ahead of its time emerges.

You are intelligent and in many ways eccentric. You have a good mind that is spontaneous, inventive, original, and unique. Yet you always seem to operate on intuition and impulse, instead of a set plan. If you resist these natural inclinations to be "different," and attempt to conform to be like everybody else, you're apt to revert and rebel at crucial and inopportune times. You can become high-strung and unpredictable. You think of yourself as a maverick. The thing you fear most is being "fenced in" and suffering the loss of your innate individuality. You are friendly and can always make significant contributions to group activities. Even in a group, you remain personally independent and somehow resist yielding to, or becoming part of, the establishment.

You can seem cool and calculating where feelings are concerned. The Aquarius personality expresses the most humanitarian instincts of the signs, but it does so in a very impersonal and detatched manner. You care about people in a special way, while sometimes being accused of neglecting family and those closest to you. You can always think of ways that things could be improved, and you are a reformer at heart. Your original and free flowing spirit allows you to succeed at most intellectual pursuits. Yet you may have difficulties with everyday mundane affairs. Being tolerant, broad-minded and curious, your interests may include many "off beat" areas of life. You especially enjoy anything that involves helping some segment of society, or reforms for the benefit of humankind.

THE SECOND HOUSE- MATERIAL VALUES AND SECURITY: ARIES

This part of your life is ruled by the aggressive planet Mars. Thus, when it comes to making money, you can be very assertive and competitive. There is a deep-seated inferiority complex behind your strong quest for significance. You may continue to drive yourself hard even when you no longer have a sense of material need. You tend to be impulsive and impractical when it comes to money and possessions. You put little forethought in expenditures, displaying an attitude of "easy come, easy go." Nonetheless, you almost seem to enjoy a good fight over money or possessions.

THE THIRD HOUSE- LEARNING AND COMMUNICATION: TAURUS

The influence of Taurus on the cusp of the third house creates a stubbornness in your thinking that belies your pliable nature. You are a slow learner, but once an idea is lodged in your brain, it's there to stay. In early education you may have been an indifferent student, but as you mature you accumulate a wealth of knowledge and understanding. This sign, ruled by Venus, often shows a strong interest in the arts, especially music.

THE FOURTH HOUSE- HOME LIFE OR THE BASE OF OPERATION: GEMINI

The influence of Gemini suggests that ties to home are not particularly strong. You are apt to move about a great deal, or at least you would like to. You like to have people around you, but not the same people for too long. There is a reluctance to form lasting ties and a solid foundation. With the strong influence of Gemini in the latter part of your life, many vague ideas that formerly floated through your mind may become clarified. You may find that your inclination to write or otherwise express concrete intellectual ideas increases as you grow older. Mental stimulation is likely to continue throughout your life.

THE FIFTH HOUSE- RECREATION, ROMANCE and CREATIVITY: GEMINI

The influence of Gemini on the cusp of the fifth house produces a cool and intellectual approach to romance. Variety is the spice of life, and before you settle down, you will likely have a wide variety of casual affairs. Extremes in passion never seem your style. Gemini is the sign of mental energy and the fifth house denotes creativity. Thus, mental energies are best used for creative endeavors; this positions frequently produces writers and otherwise talented people. You express your creative talent in a variety of ways, never delving deeply in any area. Your offspring are likely to exhibit the duality associated with Gemini, displaying wit and intelligence. This sign is somewhat more inclined than others to produce twins.

THE SIXTH HOUSE- THE WORK ENVIRONMENT, DUTIES, AND HEALTH: CANCER

The Cancer influence on the sixth house denotes a tendency to become deeply and emotionally involved in work. There may be more emotional involvement in your work than in your personal affairs. Concern with human health and welfare may prompt employment in an area directly benefiting others. The Moon's rulership of the sixth house suggests that you're tuned in to the needs of people. You are the type that must secure work that you like. If you are dissatisfied with what you do for a living, it will cause emotional upset and adversely affect your health. As a supervisor, you are very understanding and concerned about the welfare of your employees.

THE SEVENTH HOUSE- RELATIONSHIPS, PARTNERS, MARRIAGE: LEO

The Leo influence in the seventh house suggests marriage to a strong, and sometimes even dominating personality. You tend to be attracted to a partner who is dynamic, dramatic, strong, and vital. Oddly the Leo personality is inclined to seek a mate that is a close reflection of the ego or of what you feel about yourself. The stronger your ego and sense of self-esteem, the more likely you are to marry one with such qualities. If your sense of self-esteem is not strong, the person you attract will tend to have similar deficiencies. There is the likelihood of a negative power struggle with both of you hoping the other will control the reins. There can be conflict in the marriage because both you and your partner will express willful natures. You tend to mary for love, but there is also an eye to the prestige that the partner presents. This partner will likely have or will seek their place in the Sun, and efforts to remake or change such an individual will fail. The ideal relationship when Aquarius is on the rise is for the partner to run the business, the household budget and so forth. There is the need to have the partner assume the reins of leadership, leaving you free to express your intellectual qualities.

THE EIGHTH HOUSE- MEETING NEEDS, LIFE'S SECRETS, JOINT RESOURCES: LIBRA

The influence of Libra in the eighth house denotes financial gain through marriage and partnerships. It also shows that you can get just about everything you really want with a diplomatic approach. Often the balance obtained in partnerships produces an equilibrium otherwise missing in your nature. Much of your potential for success depends on the support of others. You have a large capacity for love on the communal level.

THE NINTH HOUSE- TRAVEL, HIGHER LEARNING, PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE: SCORPIO

The influence of Scorpio in the ninth house shows a strong interest in abstract ideas and studying the many mysteries of life. There is great depth in your need to know and understand the purpose of living. It is probable that your studies and philosophy will be outside what is considered orthodox; it is likely that occult laws will hold a special interest for you. You are critical of formal academic disciplines, preferring to attune yourself to these questions through direct experience instead of through normal intellectual processes. There is a strong, almost compulsive urge to travel around the world. Although it is a bit out of style these days, traveling by sea should have a special appeal for you.

THE TENTH HOUSE- THE CAREER, PRESTIGE, AND REPUTATION: SAGITTARIUS

The Sagittarius influence in the tenth house shows that you have the abilities to be a leader in an inspirational sense. There is a philosophical angle to your attitude in this area, and the importance of the career is measured more in terms of idealism and service to others, instead of in terms of power. You can rise in your profession because of your willingness to work long and hard. Your studied approach usually permits you to sell your ideas to the public, and you never hesitate using your influence to attain goals. A good deal of travel is likely to be associated with your career. You may have more than one career in your lifetime as it is important for you continuously to feel a sense of challenge if you are to be successful.

THE ELEVENTH HOUSE- FRIENDSHIPS, ASSOCIATIONS, IDEALS & CAUSES: SAGITTARIUS

The eleventh house is influenced by Sagittarius suggesting a wide circle of friends and associates with whom you enjoy free-wheeling exchanges of ideas. You enjoy such casual relationships and rarely impose demands on any of your friends. Yours is a live and let live philosophy that makes it easy for people to be around you and enjoy your company. Through your natural popularity you do tend to obtain the necessary help and support to attain your goals. Good luck and good fortune seem associated with this position.

THE TWELFTH HOUSE- THE SUBCONSCIOUS, EMOTIONAL ISSUES, SECRETS: CAPRICORN

Capricorn influences the twelfth house showing that the subconscious may be home for the resrictions and conservative attitudes that aren't nearly so apparent in your conscious personality. You have subconscious feelings of limitation and inadequacy deeply ingrained in the psyche. This is because the restrictive Saturn rules this sector of your chart. Depending on the aspects of the ruling Saturn, this placement can serve to provide what is a very deep-seated sense of responsibility, or it may produce a realistic illusion that you are constantly swimming upstream.
