Introduction

Grant Lewi (1902 - 1951) is a legendary figure among twentieth century astrologers. He was a writer and editor for the two largest astrological magazines of the time. His two books, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions, were the first astrological books to become best sellers and even today, over fifty years later, they remain among the best introductions to the subject of astrology.

The astrological interpretations found in Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions were unique, fresh, and simple. Llewellyn George, the prominent astrologer of the time, remarked that Lewi's interpretations must be intuitive because they were unlike any that had been written before him. Today these interpretations remain energetic and forceful and, though some references are now dated, Lewi's text still provides some of the clearest insights found anywhere in the literature of astrology.

Lewi was determined to make astrology more accessible to the average person, but while popularizing the subject he never watered it down or reduced it to the level found in "sun sign" astrology. Writing before computers were available, he made his books function as the computer, providing the reader with tables to generate their own charts or horoscopes and then linking his interpretations to the information found there. Lewi would have made good use of the computer, so much in his books seem to anticipate them. In his writing he tried to emulate the interpretation process by using a computerless version of artificial intelligence: the meaning of a planet in a sign doesn't stand alone but is modified by the other aspects found in your chart. Many of his comments depend on a combination of factors and for this reason you will sometimes find that he has something different to say about an aspect in your chart than he does for the same aspect in your friend's chart.

This report calculates your chart for you and then collects all of Lewi's comments strictly according to the astrological factors found there. The text contained here is valid even for those who don't know their time of birth - Lewi focused on those factors that are in effect throughout the birthday. The only exception to this is the case of the Moon which can move between 12 and 14 degrees in a day, so if the positions were calculated for noon then the Moon could be as much as 6 or 7 degrees different and possibly even change signs. If you don't know your time and the texts that involve the Moon seem unlikely, you may wish to compare reports done for the beginning and the end of the day.

At all times, Lewi’s aim has been to show how astrology can be used as an aid in living a more satisfying and fulfilling life. Astrology offers indications and pointers - and

Page 4: Heaven Knows What - Astrology Software · books, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions, were the first astrological books to become best sellers and even today, over fifty

sometimes insights - to situations that you find in life. It doesn’t tell you what to do about them, but if it offers you a better understanding of the situation, then you are in a better position to decide for yourself what to do. To quote Grant Lewi:

"It is not limitations that eats out the heart, but inaction, the knowledge of powers not used, the sense of having failed to develop to the utmost. The overcoming of fate is not the overcoming of limitations: that is impossible. It is the exercise of free will, the assertion of the full self, expanding to its utmost with the tools at hand, in the circumstances that are set. Astrology, through the interpretation of the horoscope, assists men to the achievement of their maximum by indicating to them the lines along which their will may be most progressively applied, the goals to be sought, and the individual means by which each one may arrive at the outermost boundaries of his world."

Horoscope of Birth

Your horoscope of birth is the blueprint of your personality and character as indicated by the position of the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets on the date of your birth. This section is devoted to each of these members of the solar system.

The planets are the antennae and arms of the horoscope, of which the body and soul are the Sun and Moon. No planet will ever cause you to act counter to the testimony of the Sun and Moon in their combined influence on you. Remember this when you proceed with the following readings. All planetary vibration must be considered in light of the basic solar-lunar readings, for these are your character, your basic nature, which the planets will help or hinder but cannot materially change.

According to the sign position of your Sun, one planet will be more important than the others and should probably be read first. Your Sun is in Taurus and your dominant planet is Venus. Not only the action of this ruling planet will be very important in your life, but also the attribute over which it rules. Thus Gemini, ruled by Mercury, lives a great deal in the senses; Libra, ruled by Venus, responds most readily to emotional stimuli; and so on. Study your ruler carefully.

Remember in all planetary readings that they work within the pattern of your solar-lunar nature; never against it. The synthesis of your horoscope from the following series of paragraphs to a working unit depends on your keeping this in mind, which will enable you to weld all the readings into a unified and significant whole.

Sun in Taurus and Moon in Aquarius

Your affability, sunniness, good looks, and generally easy and gracious manner conceal a core of hard purpose which will amaze your friends when they run into it. You give ground with a smile, you yield (up to a point), you back and fill and sashay around tactfully and charmingly, but you never forget for a single instant what you want. You have taken the advice of St. Paul: "Be ye therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves." Only rarely do you have to put your foot down in open conflict for you've learned the art of getting around things, instead of crashing through them, and though you don't waste much energy or time in the circumnavigation, you'd rather win people over than force them to your will. This makes you a sure bet for success along any one of a dozen lines, for you're versatile and capable of controlling either others, as in a business or political career, or yourself, as in an artistic or professional career.

Page 6: Heaven Knows What - Astrology Software · books, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions, were the first astrological books to become best sellers and even today, over fifty

Deeply romantic and even sentimental, you've learned to translate your emotional energies into practical use. Genuinely interested in people, you are able to understand them because you understand yourself, and you seem to realize instinctively that loving your neighbor as yourself means little if you don't love yourself somewhat. An inferiority complex is something you simply haven't got. You are independent, a self-starter capable of going far under your own power, and you'll rarely ask help from the outside, though your many and influential friends stand ready to help you. But your pride keeps you plugging along on your own, and your ability justifies your efforts. You'll probably marry early in life, for you have an ardent and romantic love-nature. There are some rocks and reefs in store for your idealism as you learn that the world does not have the same clear and high-minded outlook that you have. You will have some major, and perhaps embittering, love experience from which, however, you will rebound with your ideals unshaken, for so strong are your convictions, they are not likely to be permanently disturbed.

People are attracted to you as flies to sugar; they sense both your idealism and your sympathy, and your underlying conviction that humanity is very frail doesn't come to the surface to distress them. You are a lover of peace, both for your own personal uses and for the benefit of the world; in fact, all your convictions and thoughts pass swiftly from the personal to the broad and general. If the education is strong this will make you a leader politically, or place you in a position of authority over others in some public way. Though a shrewd business man, your honor never deserts you. You scorn to get by foul means what you can so easily find out how to get by fair, and if you can't get it by fair, you skip it.

This is a very magnanimous position, and though you can be deeply hurt and may never forget an injury, you will forgive, according to your code of fair dealing.

Sun

The Sun indicates the appearance you will present before the world and the psychological bias which will dominate your actions. What you seem, and why, are told in the reading for your Sun. In many ways the Sun is the dominant force in your horoscope and in your life. Other influences, especially that of the Moon, may modify the Sun's influence, but nothing will cause you to depart very far from the basic solar pattern. For this reason a whole literature and a whole business have grown up around Sun-sign astrology; and many people exist who think there is nothing more to the horoscope than knowing what "sign you were born in" and what the Sun in that sign means. This is a mistake, as you will discover when you have read the influence of the other bodies. But throughout your reading, keep in mind always the basic influence of the Sun, and remember that all other influences must be interpreted in terms of it, especially in so far as other influences play a visible role in your life. You may think, dream, imagine, hope to be a thousand things, according to your Moon and your other planets, but the Sun is what you are, and to be your best self in terms of your Sun is to cause your energies to work along the path in which they will have maximum help from planetary vibrations.

Sun in Taurus

"I propose to fight it out on this line if it takes all Summer."

Ulysses S. Grant, born in Taurus, April 27, 1822.

"In all movements, we bring to the front as the leading question in each case, the property question."

The Communist Manifesto of Karl Marx, born in Taurus, May 5, 1818.

"From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs."

Karl Marx.

The singleness of purpose of the Taurean, his loyalty, his stick-to-it-iveness, spring from one source: his need for security. Self-preservation, the first law animating all assure in some degree, is the hub of the Taurean wheel of life; and the Taurean curls and dies within himself when security - emotional or material - is denied him. Not likely to be grasping, sure to be the embodiment of the idealist form of love, Taurus may himself, or herself, be quite unaware of inner motives, for self-analysis rarely important to this sign. Instincts are powerful and generally right - always right in so far as they serve the perhaps unarticulated motives of the Taurean, who, while not selfish in the ordinary material sense, sees to it that nothing interferes with the gratifying of his instinctual urge, self-preservation and its more abstracted form, self-fulfillment.

The Taurean will not interfere with you if you don't interfere with him in these essentials, but will fight like a bear at bay for his rights to these things. He is the easiest person to live with, if you are willing to live with him and not against him. Anyone who is going to get along with a Taurean must understand that to him or her cooperation doesn't mean doing things together; it means doing things peacefully, in a friendly manner, even if the things are done separately. This kind of cooperation annoys people who are less self-sufficient until they learn that the heart of the Taurean comes home to roost only if you don't try to coerce it, and will break itself against bars of any kind, even if the bars are put up by love itself.

The Taurean is so sure of his need for security that he resents any implication that he needs watching or holding; his instinct is to hold himself to what he needs and wants - and he can't by any force in the world be held to anything else. On the other hand, once he has polarized his instinct on an essential, he will cling to it with hands, teeth and toenails, and no one can tell him that it is unworthy, or wrong, or useless, or low. Once it is his, in that it satisfies his deepest needs, it is his forever, whether it be home, a man, a woman, ambition, love, money or anything. When the Taurean has determined in his deep and sometimes dark subconscious that his emotional or material security lies there, he goes there and stays there forever.

Following are the aspects to your Sun. In a general way, the trines and sextiles to your Sun make ease, contentment, happiness, luck; while squares and oppositions give you energy, drive, success, ambition. Conjunctions bring both energy and luck, and are translatable in terms of whether the Sun receives squares or trines, along with the conjunction. Similarly, squares and trines to the Sun together bring success through work and perseverance, and luck develops in proportion to the work done and the effort extended. You have great energy, persistence, and overcoming of obstacles, and can make it to the top.

Sun Opposite Jupiter Orb: 08°58'

You are full of vitality, good spirits, and fun. You are likely to waste - your energies and your money in having a good time, for this is a happy-go-lucky position and adds a lift and verve even to a pretty sober nature. It generally accompanies comfortable worldly status and keeps bringing in the shekels, even if you manage to get rid of them pretty quickly. You have a great deal of pride. Social prestige is important to you and you feed your vanity on it. You are still genial and humane and will gladly help people in distress, for a goodly amount of charity accompanies this aspect. You love food and drink and tend to overindulge. You are lavish with your expenditures not only of money, but of affection, passion, friendship; an all-pervasive expansiveness runs through your life. This is a sort of Falstaffian position. You're markedly convivial, the best of companions, but through flaunting the precepts of moderation, you can cause yourself a good deal of unhappiness, ruin your digestion, and get fat. Excesses are very dangerous and in addition to crippling your fortunes, will have an effect on your health through blood disorders, gout, diabetes, or one of the ailments that goes with excess.

Sun Conjunct Saturn Orb: 02°41'

Your intense nature generally finds plenty to overcome in this world, for your nervous vigor is not accompanied by a commensurate physical vitality. You tire easily, and should not let your nervousness drive you faster than you can comfortably go. Responsibilities devolve on you early in life and they discourage you somewhat, causing you to withdraw into yourself. You dislike competition and want chiefly for the world to leave you alone. Your help is demanded, probably by a parent or by early domestic duties, and if you rebel against this and seek a career of your own you find obstacles to overcome. You are independent without being aggressive, and in the search for independence you are likely to fall into an easy rut from which you have difficulty in rising. You are a little self-centered for executive work and not cooperative enough for subordinate work. This is a lone-wolf position, and you may find yourself pretty lonely. In a woman's horoscope this indicates difficulties through men because of an early-formed psychological bias toward the father or an older relative.

In a man's horoscope something of the same condition exists - a sort of father- or mother-worship contributing to an inferiority complex. You need the real, rather than the pseudo, self-confidence, for most of your independence is bravado and is not backed by self-reliance. You should develop this through increasing your contact with the world

Page 9: Heaven Knows What - Astrology Software · books, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions, were the first astrological books to become best sellers and even today, over fifty

around you, by avoiding the secretive life you seek defensively, and by developing a willingness to compete in the world of affairs. Ignore your own emotions and sensitiveness which in the end will harden you if you don't watch them. Your intellectual powers and powers of concentration are good. You may develop them to good business activity and achieve considerable power, prestige, and authority for you are a magnetic person and have only to let your magnetism work outward instead of inward to get pretty much what you want out of the world.

Moon

While the Sun's position by sign determines what motives and urges dominate your life as it meets the naked eye, the sign position of the Moon tells the desire of your heart which may or may not be expressed or realized in your life. When you "know what you mean but you can't say it," it is your Moon that knows it and your Sun that can't say it. "Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears" are the thoughts of your Moon's nature. The wordless ecstasy, the mute sorrow, the secret dream, the esoteric picture of yourself that you can't get across to the world, or which the world doesn't comprehend or value - these are the products of the Moon in your horoscope. When you are misunderstood, it is your Moon nature, expressed imperfectly through the Sun sign, that you feel is betrayed. When you know what you ought to do, but can't find the right way to do it, it is your Moon that knows and your Sun that refuses to react in harmony. Also, when you "don't know why I said that," it was your Moon expressing despite your Sun (if you are innerly satisfied with the involuntary speech), or the Sun expressing against the will of the Moon (if you are displeased with what has slipped out). Things you know without thought - intuitions, hunches, instincts - are the products of the Moon. Modes of expression that you feel are truly your deepest self belong to the Moon: art, letters, creative work of any kind; sometimes love; sometimes business. Whatever you feel is most deeply yourself, whether or not you are able to do anything about it in the outer world, is the product of your Moon and of the sign your Moon occupies at birth.

Moon in Aquarius

You'd like to be a force for social good, and will strive in whatever sphere you move to live up to this ideal of yourself. Whatever errors you make are likely to be forgiven because people know you mean well. They may tire after a while of good intentions gone wrong; but you'll be given another chance where less whole-souled mortals are condemned or laughed off. You are a poet of life, rather than a philosopher: you feel instinctively the needs of human beings and that they must be satisfied. You may be a social theorist, but more likely you are just a social worker, as a humane avocation and hobby, if not as a profession. In helping others, you satisfy your deepest inner needs; and thus you don't even care if you are imposed on: that money has been misused is less important to you than that your heart was in the right place. In fulfilling this image of yourself as "friend of all the world" you can become a great force for good, and in whatever circle you move you will be sure to make your influence felt in behalf of a humane understanding of human needs and human relations. Outside of charity itself,

Page 10: Heaven Knows What - Astrology Software · books, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions, were the first astrological books to become best sellers and even today, over fifty

your understanding extends to social life, to make you charming, gracious, lively. To make the world a better and happier place is your path to satisfying your picture of yourself - and a pleasant path it is, as anyone knows who shares it with you.

Following are the aspects to your Moon. Look to the trines and sextiles to give you charm and clear-thinking; and to the squares and oppositions to provide you with concentration and driving force.

Moon Square Mercury Orb: 00°44'

You are talkative, expressive, witty. You may not have a trained mind, but this doesn't keep you from occupying yourself with mental pursuits, either as a hobby or as a mode of gaining a livelihood. What you lack in persistence you make up in glibness and facility. Only in extraordinary instances will this accompany the artistically creative ability of the poet or dramatist; but it will lead you into some writing or speaking occupation - secretarial, advertising, public speaking such as radio, salesmanship, etc. - anything where wit, cleverness, and knowing all the answers is an asset. You have a tendency to talk too much. This may amount to a mania for telling everything you know, even those things that you ought to keep to yourself. You have to cultivate reserve in speech; for keeping things to yourself will help them to develop. You waste your mental powers by expressing everything. You are not logical and have to make a conscious and serious effort to keep to the main track of the discussion. Mental training is what you need - strict schooling, which likely as not you ran away from when you were very young. You are likely to skim over the surface of things mental and get by on your wits rather than by intense application. But with your cleverness, wit, and adaptability you will get by!

Moon Square Venus Orb: 09°14'

This aspect doesn't make you very sociable and is likely to impair popularity by making you scornful of the things that have to be done to achieve it. Your attitude is that you just won't be bothered - if they want you, let them come for you. You have to learn to go out of your way more for people. The truth of the matter is that you are sensitive, have a sort of inferiority complex about your popularity, and dread the idea of pushing yourself forward, with the result that periodically, through sheer discouragement, you push yourself in the wrong way and at the wrong time. Look around you at the people who are well liked and try to take a leaf from their book. You are very much impressed by sex matters, which are dangerous and need controlling. You are very much impressed by sex matters, which are dangerous and need controlling. This is a difficult aspect for material matters, for you spend money foolishly, and have to cultivate good business sense. You are a real spendthrift at heart; getting rid of money amounts to a genius with you. You are emotionally temperamental and can weep buckets when you are hurt, or when you realize you've hurt someone else; for you are gentle, and wouldn't willfully hurt anyone. But for all that, you do.

Moon Trine Jupiter Orb: 06°56'

Page 11: Heaven Knows What - Astrology Software · books, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions, were the first astrological books to become best sellers and even today, over fifty

You are idealistic, humanitarian, and expansive in your outlook, animated by genuine charity, and probably in a position to make it practical. You are cheerful, optimistic, good-humored, and tactful. Courtesy is innate in you - one of nature's gentlefolk. You have excellent family connections especially on your mother's side, and probably some financial help from them in gifts or legacies. Necessity has never taught you to be careful of money, which you more or less take for granted. If put to it, your earning powers are good, for friends put you in the way of earning. Character is your strong point: you have a keen sense of right and wrong. Your ideas run along conventional lines; you belong to the conservative, right-wing, pillar-of-society group, believing in noblesse oblige rather than in socialism. You are devotional and probably religious in an orthodox sense, but the pillar of your religion is the god in you - that is, character - rather than metaphysics and dogma.

Moon Square Neptune Orb: 06°57'

This impairs the creative gifts, and your manner of thought and expression, intruding an unrealistic note into your notions and confusing practical issue with hazy and misty generalizations. In business, thought, romance, you have to keep your feet on the ground, for you love the clouds. You are capable of daydreaming by the hour and of concocting brave plans that would be marvelous - if you or anyone else could make them happen. This adds a sort of naive charm to your nature. You can believe in fairies, Santa Claus and ghosts, just as others can believe in Herbert Hoover, and your perpetual love for the mystic will intrigue those who love the innocent, the childish, the unspoiled. But all this doesn't help you much in the world of affairs, and an impractical approach to many things will stand in the way of your progress until such a time as you get your feet on the ground and hitch your wagon to a fence post.

Mercury

Mercury is the sense-impression antennae of your horoscope. His position by sign indicates your reactions to sights, sounds, odors, tastes and touch impressions, affording a key to the attitude you have toward the physical world around you. Mercury is the messenger through which your physical body and brain (the Sun) and your inner nature (the Moon) are kept in contact with the outer world, which will appear to you according to the index of Mercury's position by sign in the horoscope.

Mercury in Taurus

You are eye-minded; that is, you get your maximum sense contact with the world through sight rather than through sound. You get more from reading a book than from hearing a lecture. Silent movies are almost as good for you as talkies. Since what you see is important, you will always strive to make your surroundings as attractive as possible, and for this reason your home, or your office, will have some beauty about it even when it gets disorderly. Touch is well developed, and you visualize through your fingers - get an image in the dark of something touched, know how a fabric will look by feeling it - and conversely, how it will feel by looking at it. Taste and smell are fairly well marked,

Page 12: Heaven Knows What - Astrology Software · books, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions, were the first astrological books to become best sellers and even today, over fifty

and hearing worst of all. You can shut out sound from your life ant live calmly through a hurricane or the squawking of children that would drive others to distraction. You don't hear the sound of your voice accurately, and sometimes sound like you don't feel for this reason. Study elocution, and learn to pay attention to what meets your ears.

Mercury Conjunct Venus Orb: 09°57'

This aspect gives perhaps the most idealistic mental outlook possible. It shows strong leanings to the artistic and beautiful things of life. Even though creative powers are limited, there is a good deal of appreciation of fine things, and innate discrimination. The champagne taste that so often has to get along on the beer pocketbook. You will have friends among clever and intellectual people. You will no doubt marry someone from this group, for your affections are much bound up in your opinion of the loved one's mentality. You have a good deal of charm of manner, wit, and gayety to your speech, and probably have a very pleasant speaking (and perhaps also singing) voice. You don't shout even when you're angry, and you have a persuasive manner that wins people over. This is therefore good for salesmanship or the professions where personal contacts are of paramount importance.

Mercury Opposite Neptune Orb: 07°41'

You are a daydreamer. you think abstract and impractical thoughts which you weave into a web of reality but can't put into practice. You love beauty, music, and art and should try to master the creative technique of one of these to put your inspirational faculties to work. You have difficulty concentrating. You are easily distracted, not so much by things or people around you as by the wandering tendencies of your own mind. Even when you are shut up alone in a quiet room, little is likely to be accomplished.

Mercury Trine Pluto Orb: 02°36'

You are fascinated by the enigmatic or bizarre, and your thinking is geared to gaining a deep understanding of the mysteries of life. Because of this, you are a natural researcher and student of the occult, the sciences, psychology and astrology. You aren't satisfied by the dogmas or theories that others are content with; your search is for a personal truth, a notion of your place in the cosmos. Although you are secretive by nature, there is nothing that gives you more pleasure than digging into other people's secrets. Your determination helps you to learn a subject in considerable depth or to get to the bottom of neighborhood gossip. You have to exert yourself to develop your mental resources, since you are apt to coast along, learning only what comes easiest. Concentration and discipline should be cultivated. Once they have been developed, you can use your powers of persuasion to lead others gently.

Venus

Venus is the emotional antenna of your horoscope. Through Venus, impressions come to you from the outer world because of which you feel and react emotionally. The

Page 13: Heaven Knows What - Astrology Software · books, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions, were the first astrological books to become best sellers and even today, over fifty

position of Venus by sign at the time of your birth gives the key to your attitude toward these emotional experiences. As Mercury is the messenger linking sense impressions (sight, smell, etc.) to the basic nature of your Sun and Moon, so Venus is the messenger linking emotional impressions.

Venus in Gemini

You are emotionally aware, very susceptible to emotional stimuli, sensitive in that you react to them swiftly. But in the other sense you are not sensitive or touchy. Your emotions color your life and your reactions in a very lively manner; they are like a constant sheet of clear warm water that bathes you always, without necessarily penetrating very far beneath the surface. The alertness with which you relate sense experience to your emotional nature, and the glibness with which you can tell how you feel about everything, can make you a clever writer or artist. To express your emotions is almost as important to you as to feel them. You may learn to understand a whole lot about love and the world of the senses in theory, because you cover so much of it so swiftly. You are a gay companion, sophisticated, knowing all the answers. You may go on to another love, another experience, but you will retain a comradely interest in everyone you have ever known. You don't usually quarrel with people. You ought to probe yourself to see if you are getting the most out of life, or if you are only skimming the surface. "The world is so full of a number of things" - what one thing is your heart set on?

Venus Conjunct Mars Orb: 05°10'

You are extremely attractive to the opposite sex. This is the position par excellence of those who have what is known as IT. Others have it, to be sure, but you have it in a peculiarly magnetic form, and there is nothing that can take it away from you. You are also somewhat lucky in financial matters, even though you love to spend money perhaps not always in practical ways. You seem protected from want despite the fact that money has a way of running through your fingers. While impressionable in love matters you have a certain hard streak in you that may be the despair of sweethearts and admirers. You are conscious of your powers and do not hesitate to use them. You crave admiration, excitement, adulation - and above all you need the devotion of one person - that is, of one at a time; for you are not constant in the strict sense of that word. You may regard yourself as a model of devotion and loyalty, but this isn't going to keep you from flirtations when the mood is upon you. This is an excellent aspect for dealing with large bodies of people and for artistic work of any sort. There is a sort of fire to your manner of expression that catches the public imagination. Your magnetism is capable of spreading far and wide under other favorable conditions. On the other hand, your emotions are likely to get you into trouble and to cause you a good deal of sorrow. Some early disappointment in the matter of love has been sitting on you for a long time like a heavy weight, and not allowing you to enjoy the admiration you get. You have to be careful that a somewhat adolescent attitude toward romance doesn't follow you into maturity. You are one of these people who is perennially youthful - just be sure you aren't perpetually childish! In any case, your love life probably started very early - almost shockingly early

Page 14: Heaven Knows What - Astrology Software · books, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions, were the first astrological books to become best sellers and even today, over fifty

- and is likely to continue late - "Age does not wither, nor custom stale, its infinite variety!"

Venus Trine Uranus Orb: 03°05'

You are magnetic and charming, attractive to the opposite sex, and mildly unconventional in regard to sex matters. You have a broad emotional viewpoint tending to the generally humane rather than to the strictly personal. Eccentric friends are helpful; you gather strange birds around you. You love to help the underdog. An active social nature brings you in contact with strong people and assists your advancement. This adds to the luck in life and suggests a marriage that is happy romantically and financially helpful at the same time. It is a mild aspect in itself and produces little but strengthens the good and mitigates the evil, as shown by the rest of the chart.

Venus Opposite Neptune Orb: 02°17'

You are an idealist in the realms of love, full of theories about sex and human relations in general, which complicate relationships that to other people are much more simple. You can be swept off your feet by an idea, an ideal, a theory, more quickly than by the physical beauty of an individual. This ideology of yours is likely to take quite unusual forms, and to lead to strange relationships among strange and out-of-the-way people. You are sensational rather than intellectual in your emotions and find it difficult to say no to an appeal to your feelings, especially with your Venus conjunct Mars. Unreliable and treacherous friends make trouble for you.

You are artistic, ultra-romantic, and impressionable. You fascinate others with a kind of other-worldly charm. There is something ethereal about you that isn't completely explained by your appearance. You have to look out that your own charms don't run away with you, for there's a touch of sensationalism here, and an "all-for-love-and-the-world-well-lost" attitude that makes your emotions dangerous. You play hunches with respect to people, staking everything on your first impressions which can be woefully wrong. You are attracted by the unusual rather than by the sound in human beings, and can get mixed up with odd creatures if you let yourself go. You react rapidly to sense impressions and also to alcohol and drugs, which awaken the least desirable side of your emotional nature, for under your idealism there's a thick strata of earth.

Venus Trine Pluto Orb: 07°21'

This aspect deepens your response to love, people and life in general. You have the rare quality of seeing the best in everyone, thus helping to bring it out. Beauty, symmetry and goodness are the things you look for in life - and find! Your friends come from all social classes and backgrounds. Your understanding and appreciation of love is instinctive, and you are fully prepared to accept the responsibilities of love as well as the joys.

Mars

Mars is the energy principle in the horoscope. His position by sign indicates the channels into which energy will naturally flow, and the uses to which energy will most easily be directed. It is the planet through which the activities of the Sun and the desires of the Moon express in action - through which your body and your mind react to the sense impressions of Mercury and the emotional impressions of Venus. Mars is in the same sign with your Venus, Mars quickens emotional reactions and causes you to act on them; it makes for ardor and passion in love, and a general earthly awareness of emotional realities.

Mars in Gemini

Your energies flow naturally into adventurous paths. Movement, physical and mental, is essential to you, and you express best when working, playing, living actively, preferably at high speed. You are rarely bored or boring, but you can wear others, and yourself, out by the ferocity of your attack on life. You are extraordinarily aware of the world around you; sense perceptions are acute, swift, probably accurate; and you are voluble in expressing what you take in. Energy flows naturally to the tongue; you are a better talker than a listener; and are generally glib, discursive, extensive in your remarks written or spoken. With any concentrative force, this position gains value; without it, you scatter your energies. You are something of a sensualist and like the physical expressions of love; you probably think sex is more important to you than it really is, and by thinking make it so. Energy flows into mind force as well as into physical activity; this is peculiarly a position in which, to have a sound mind, you must also have a sound body. You must beware of neglecting your physical well-being through letting your energies dam up in the pools of the mind; also of being blocked by sensational thoughts which from time to time will tend to dominate you. The negative reactions of the sex urge, such as envy, jealousy, hatred, can frustrate you if you let them get hold. Mind control and bodily vigor are the two things for which you should constantly strive.

Mars Trine Uranus Orb: 02°05'

You are inventive and mechanically inclined. Electricity, railroads, steel, iron, metals, and mechanics of all sorts are the natural media in which you work, and your highly original turn of mind will find new uses and combinations in connection with all these things. On the purely intellectual side, you are critical and analytical - cold, detached, and impersonal rather than emotional. You love speed and will drive a car, run an airplane or a speed boat at breakneck pace. You are a gambler with safety as well as with finances and ideas and will stake your all on a scheme or a plan the success of which you are convinced.

Mars Opposite Neptune Orb: 07°27'

This aspect accompanies spiritual thought and spiritual leadership and is found in the executives of the Church and of spiritual and occult organizations as well as occasionally among great military leaders who have an unusually magnetic personal hold over their men. It gives you a spiritual insight into the affairs of earth, and a practical viewpoint about ideas of heaven. You are conscious of the two worlds which are not separate

Page 16: Heaven Knows What - Astrology Software · books, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions, were the first astrological books to become best sellers and even today, over fifty

entities to you but related and integrated parts of the same whole. Thus, in strong executive horoscopes, this spiritual-practical approach gives your personality the ring of authenticity and divine right. You speak "not as the Scribes and Pharisees, but as one having authority," and you somewhat overawe those who come in contact with you. Whatever possibilities your horoscope shows, this will lend subtle but powerful force to it and give you a grip on the minds and hearts of men that is invaluable.

Jupiter

Jupiter is the feeler you have out in the world for opportunity. Through it the chances of a lifetime are passed along for consideration according to the basic nature of Sun and Moon. Jupiter's sign position indicates the places in which you will look for opportunity, the uses to which you wish to put it, and the capacity you have to react to and profit by it. Jupiter is ordinarily, and erroneously, called the Planet of Luck. It is "luck" in so far as it is the index of opportunity; but your luck depends less on what comes to you (Jupiter) than on what you do with it (the total personality). Opportunity appeals to you along lines laid down by your Jupiter.

Jupiter in Scorpio

You relate opportunity to deep personal needs, and are generally successful because there is no inharmony between the inner nature and what the outer world makes important. The lens of the spirit eliminates what would make unhappiness and follows instinctively what satisfies. This is a good position for acquiring and spending money; you give a sort of magical effect of being the right man (or woman) for the job that is open, if the job happens to appeal to you; and you proceed to make it your own in a curiously effective way. All the primary instincts merge in your approach to work and give you a high degree of efficiency. When you're where you want to be, you work easily, authoritatively, gaining the respect of superiors and subordinates. Opportunity flows to you naturally; and an inherent wisdom enables you to select your right niche. You're not likely to be a square peg in a round hole; and you are very likely to be successful in whatever you put your mind on.

Saturn

Saturn indicates the direction that will be taken in life by the self-preservative principle which, in its highest manifestation, ceases to be purely defensive and becomes ambitious and aspirational. Your defense, or attack, against the world is shown by the sign position of Saturn in the horoscope of birth. With Saturn in the same sign as Sun, defense predominates, and there is danger of introversion. The further Saturn is from Sun, Moon and Ascendant, the better for objectivity and extroversion. Saturn is in the same sign with your Mercury, you have profound and serious reaction to sense impressions; this position generally accompanies a deep and efficient mind.

Saturn in Taurus

Page 17: Heaven Knows What - Astrology Software · books, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions, were the first astrological books to become best sellers and even today, over fifty

This position presents the simplest and most direct manifestation of the instinct of self-preservation, which you satisfy by material comfort and security. If you have these, life cannot attack you in any way that matters deeply. The need to defend yourself in emotional, intellectual matters is not deep, and you are therefore an easy person to live with because your deep ego centers don't bristle and writhe at imagined affronts or offenses. You are secure if your body is secure; and are able to bring a great deal of idealism to bear on all of life's other problems in which you, unlike many others, can be detached and gracious. When you're materially secure, you have to look out for smugness and self-satisfaction and for a tendency to identify yourself and your work too closely with your possessions and your material status. You are deeply a conservative in finance and can be a penny pincher. You will rarely gamble, and/or lose property because of your own actions, unless through taking security too much for granted, you feel it can't possibly be lost. Self-satisfaction then becomes overconfidence and is, of course, dangerous. The tendency to take things too much for granted can also lead you to trust some less careful person with your security and to lose it through the bad judgment of others on whom you have, because of over-sureness, not exercised the proper control. Losing security throws you entirely off balance, and you cannot be yourself till you get it back again. You can be secure on little, for stretching money is your long suit, but what little there is must be established as firmly as the Rock of Gibraltar. Needless to say, you are a pillar of society, a believer in life insurance, and a sure-fire customer for gilt edged government bonds.

Uranus

Uranus in a general way relates to the neuro-mentality, creative originality or individuality, and his position by sign in the horoscope tells the direction along which you will seek to express your most characteristic self in creative and original effort.

Uranus in Libra

Yours is a peculiar hidden genius, for you tend to identify yourself with large groups and interests and to "lose yourself in order to find yourself." You can be a great leader (if your expression of originality works outward to the rest of the world) or a dreadful eccentric (if it works inward). If you identify yourself with others on the positive and aggressive side, you make definite contributions to your group or to society as a whole, having an uncanny knack for unifying divergent groups and factions into a cooperative whole. If you identify yourself against others (the negative expression of the characteristic urge to cooperation), you may think the hand of the world is against you and become a lone wolf, antisocial and quarrelsome. Your best and truest expression of originality will come in connection with cooperative ventures, for when you learn to work with otters, there is no end to the organizational genius which you can bring to bear on your progress and the general welfare of others.

Uranus Sextile Neptune Orb: 05°21'

This aspect occurs very seldom and when it does, amounts to a world condition and requires rather special factors in the individual horoscopes to make it show forth. In

Page 18: Heaven Knows What - Astrology Software · books, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions, were the first astrological books to become best sellers and even today, over fifty

general, it is a supporting aspect of material benefit, helping to improve a good horoscope and lending some support even to a bad one. It inclines to a practical interest in the occult. It sharpens the perceptions. There is danger of mental confusion through occult studies. You may be dreamy, mystic, sensational. President Franklin D. Roosevelt is representative of the race of giants which this aspect is capable of producing.

Neptune

Neptune relates to the deepest wells of the subconscious, inherited mentality and spirituality, indicating what you take deeply for granted in life.

Neptune in Sagittarius

Sagittarius is symbolized by the Centaur - a mythical half horse / half man, and so we find Neptune in this sign characterized by conflict between the Higher and Lower Selves. There is much interest in religion and mythology. There is the desire to explore, travel, move about, try new ideas, experiment with new ways of seeing and feeling things. But just as there is an emphasis on "Spiritual" things, so is there an emphasis on Sensuality. There may be considerable prophetic ability, and there are many inspirations and vivid dreams. The intuition is highly developed and generally dependable in the professions of journalism and teaching. Neptune in Sagittarius is expansive and exuberant, even extravagant. The Spirit of Adventure is high, and there is deep interest in new areas such as parapsychology, esoteric healing methods, mind-drugs, etc.

Neptune Sextile Pluto Orb: 05°04'

The ideas that were instilled in you by your parents, church and society will undergo changes throughout your life until your religious and philosophical views are distinctly your own. This type of creative adaptability makes you able to forgo selfish concerns and direct your efforts toward the betterment of all. Artistic and/or psychic talents are possible.

Pluto

Pluto relates to the ability to let go of things, to get rid of irrelevant prejudices and outdated habit patterns. It relates to subconscious feelings, inner urges and repressed emotions. A strong Pluto gives the ability to see the hidden side of life, and thus bestows power on the native - power which can be used for good or ill.

Pluto in Virgo

Your ability to bring order out of chaos is your strongest talent, and it allows you to find ultimate meaning in conditions and ideas which others consider hopeless. Your approach is initially intellectual - your curiosity spurs you on to gain as much knowledge as possible - but your main concern is the application of this knowledge. Ideas have value only insofar as they can be used to improve the quality of life. Your forte is the

Page 19: Heaven Knows What - Astrology Software · books, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions, were the first astrological books to become best sellers and even today, over fifty

development of a concept, its practical application and its assimilation into everyday affairs.

Current Transits

The current transits are calculated exactly for the date shown. Lewi wrote text only for the aspects that he considered to be the most significant and only those are shown in this report. The dates shown only represent the times when the aspect is exact; its influence is felt for weeks, months, and sometimes even years around this time. A planet will often make the same aspect several times in one year before it leaves that area of the zodiac and moves on. This is due to the planet appearing to go backward or retrograde for a period of time and crossing and recrossing the aspect point. When this happens the effect of the aspect can be spread out over a considerable time and in this report the aspect and text will be printed for each time it becomes exact, although this series of aspects represents only one pass through this phase of its cycle. Remember that each transiting aspect is part of its over-all cycle and indicates a change of direction as well as an event. The cycle for a planet is the time it takes that planet to travel the entire 360° of the zodiac, beginning at the point where the planet is found at birth (the conjunction point), moving to the 90° point which Lewi calls the "lower square", then moving to the opposition or 180° point. Then it begins to move back towards the starting point, at the 270° point, or 90° away from the starting point, the planet is at its "upper square", and then it returns to the conjunction point where a new cycle is begun. Lewi will occasionally refer to these points in his text by name. In general all transits, whether of a planet to its own place or of one planet to another, mark cycles of growth beginning at the conjunction point, growing through the first square, fully grown at the opposition point, beginning to recede at the second or upper square, and finally starting a new cycle as it reaches the conjunction point again.

How long any aspect will be in effect is determined by the speed of the planet making the aspect (the first planet , i.e. Mars in Mars Opposite Sun). One Mars cycle is about two or two and one-half years and so a Mars aspect will last about 20 to 30 days. Jupiter takes about 12 years for its cycle and so its aspects could last around 4 months, while Saturn with a 29 year cycle will last 9 months or even more if it turns retrograde. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all long range aspects and usually represent a time of 2 or more years. While Saturn and the outer planets indicate long range influences in your life, Mars aspects will identify important months and Jupiter will identify important years. Not every occurrence of these will be of striking importance. But within a larger Saturn cycle or Uranus period of great importance, these briefer influences will be found to act as the second or minute hand of the clock of destiny, as Saturn, or Uranus, or both, act as the hour hand.

Jun 3, 2006 - Mars Square Jupiter

This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too enthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance. This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and bad luck.

Jun 18, 2006 - Mars Square Sun

Domestic matters are important. This transit frequently times a move from one house (or town or locality) to another, or some important decision in the private life. New starts work out if well considered and unmotivated by temperament. Social activity is increased; you have lots of friends around you. This is a good time to begin new ventures for quick completion, ventures which have a bearing on your longer-range plans. This is a good time to clean house, redecorate, etc. The home is likely to be upset, and it's wise to make the upsetting literal and to some good purpose, instead of figurative and quarrelsome.

Jun 20, 2006 - Saturn Square Sun

This marks a period of new starts. It is usually accompanied by the breaking of old ties and the acceptance of new obligations or new maturity. It can mark departure from home and the taking of one's place in the world; graduation from school and the beginning of a career; marriage, as the break from one tie and the establishment of another; a business break and a new start. It always indicates a slow period; the reorganized life is getting its foundations established along new lines that require serious personal readjustments. And because all readjustments take a good deal out of you, it may be a period of tension, strife with those around you, and resentment that things do not develop as fast as you would like them to. It is a bad period only if you expect miracles of progress, for the miracles will not come off. You cannot, by being anxious, add one cubit to your stature in this period, or one foot per hour to your speed. You have to take things as they come and moderate the pace of your desires to conform with the pace of the world. It is an excellent period if you are willing to do this. Things begun slowly and carefully, with an eye to a long plan, work out well. Ambitions aimed at with patience will be achieved in from seven to fourteen years; any ambition that won't stand the test of this length of time should be ignored. To catch the rhythm and pace of events at this time is to build truly for success of the highest sort in the long run; while to rebel and run ahead of yourself is to find exhaustion and despair and to be forced to start over again later, under less permanently helpful influences.

Jun 29, 2006 - Jupiter Opposite Sun

New contacts, new modes of expression, new work, new energies and ambitions tax mind and health. But you overflow with vitality and optimism and can carry quite a load if you take care of your health and refuse to indulge your weaknesses. Partners or associates provide excitement, and also luck. Money may come in without much effort on

Page 22: Heaven Knows What - Astrology Software · books, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions, were the first astrological books to become best sellers and even today, over fifty

your part and can go out the same way. Avoid a spending spree, which you can slip into almost before you realize it. Apparently innocent indulgences mount till they are far from innocent. Human relations are glamorous; be sure they are also sound and not built on the quick sands of temperament and sensationalism. Be ready to grasp opportunity and keep your head clear so that you won't waste the chances that crowd around you.

Jul 10, 2006 - Mars Square Mercury

Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent.

Jul 11, 2006 - Mars Opposite Moon

Fatigue leads to strife, so relax. There may be illness and you may lose your grip on things. Refuse to take yourself too seriously. Go to bed and rest instead of brooding; you'll avoid strife and trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with this.

Jul 12, 2006 - Jupiter Opposite Sun

New contacts, new modes of expression, new work, new energies and ambitions tax mind and health. But you overflow with vitality and optimism and can carry quite a load if you take care of your health and refuse to indulge your weaknesses. Partners or associates provide excitement, and also luck. Money may come in without much effort on your part and can go out the same way. Avoid a spending spree, which you can slip into almost before you realize it. Apparently innocent indulgences mount till they are far from innocent. Human relations are glamorous; be sure they are also sound and not built on the quick sands of temperament and sensationalism. Be ready to grasp opportunity and keep your head clear so that you won't waste the chances that crowd around you.

Jul 13, 2006 - Saturn Square Saturn

This lower (waxing) square comes seven years after the Saturn-Saturn conjunction and should mark a period of achievement in line with the lessons learned seven years earlier. The choices made then, if wise, have led to accomplishment; a minor cycle has been completed; and you should be moving forward smoothly toward a point of maximum attainment to be reached in about another seven years. Some shift in method - but no change in basic direction - may be indicated here. Changes, both in the material world and in thinking, are important and should be related carefully to basic goals. Some temperament needs fighting down; the personal tends to intrude over the practical and must be put firmly back in its place.

Jul 26, 2006 - Mars Square Venus

Page 23: Heaven Knows What - Astrology Software · books, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions, were the first astrological books to become best sellers and even today, over fifty

Social and romantic glamour leads to excesses, sometimes to strife, quarrels, separations. Minor loves and friendships break up, but important relations are merely strained; and indeed this frequently adds glamour to a deep love, intensifying its beauty. A break here, unless contributed to by some more important transit, is a sure index that the feeling wasn't very deep or important anyway. Avoid excess spending and stay away from temptation if you're interested in sticking to the conventions.

Aug 3, 2006 - Mars Square Mars

This transit indicates a period of hard work and abundant energies, which causes no trouble unless major disruptive influences are in force. There is a slight tendency to talk too much, boast and be arrogant, but the swiftness of the pace generally carries you through without major trouble. You should not let distractions interfere with plans you started when Mars was conjunct Mars on Mar 4, 2006. Protect health and nerves from excess; be objective and detached; and let reason rule the emotions.

Aug 31, 2006 - Mars Conjunct Pluto

This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades otherwise mundane events. Aggressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding, protect your possessions and yourself, for this transit includes some vulnerability to the principle of redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emerge from this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events as keynotes of respect for structure and self-care.

Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and the tendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it really is. Take time to treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a more service-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, this could be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.

Sep 16, 2006 - Mars Conjunct Uranus

Expect temperament, haste and anxiety. Your nerves require watching. These problems can lead to illness from fatigue and nervous exhaustion. You risk accidents (literal and figurative!) from excess speed and lack of care over details. Watch temperament. Accidents in the realm of human relations result from overemphasizing the ego and minimizing the other fellow's viewpoint. Inventiveness abounds; originality is in the saddle; but you can't get your best and truest ideas over to any good advantage, and simply make trouble if you "try too hard." Store them up for a later time when you express them better and when other people listen to you more readily. Look out for machinery, travel, electricity; avoid danger, be careful getting on and off trains and crossing streets.

Page 24: Heaven Knows What - Astrology Software · books, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions, were the first astrological books to become best sellers and even today, over fifty

Oct 11, 2006 - Saturn Square Mercury

This aspect deepens mental processes, providing concentrative powers for deep study and thought. It is usually accompanied by some mild or acute melancholy and depression, which work and self-discipline will minimize. Loss of self-esteem is likely - the thought that you're no good becomes acute. Keeping your mind on things outside yourself helps. Study, reading and writing are excellent, though creativeness and originality fail you. Don't worry must be your motto; also Face the facts. Escapism leads into bad nervous tangles. This is a good aspect to have while in school or college, when opportunity for study is greatest and the "cold, cold world" is not yet a reality that you have to consider. Corning later when you're out in the "cold, cold world," it indicates a period when you can return to the student state to good advantage, putting your mind on objective fact rather than on emotional concerns. Finances are under tension; there is a need for budgets, restraint and efficiency.

Oct 20, 2006 - Saturn Opposite Moon

You experience emotional stress, perhaps a physical or material setback. Your personality has worked toward objectifying itself, and you are now finding that you have lost something in the process. Not to feel sorry for yourself is the chief prescription for this period. What you have lost is mainly sentimentality - an attitude toward yourself better forgotten. What you gain is re-evaluation of your personal qualities, an ability to stand outside yourself, and to marshal your mental and emotional energies so that you will continuously master them in the future. You gain a certain hardness, which need not destroy your human qualities, but which will enable you to use mental, emotional and creative powers more effectively in the future. The beneficial result of this period is self-mastery through objectivity and detachment. In lovematters you may have a difficult period. In material matters you are likely to mark a low point. The ego is too much occupied with itself to be materially effective in the world, but learns the need of effectiveness as a result of this experience.

Oct 23, 2006 - Mars Conjunct Jupiter

Opportunities abound, and your energies are up to them. Optimism runs high, and you can be made to color, and perhaps prophesy, the life for a long time. Work is abundant and gratifying; you are popular and lucky. Be careful not to waste opportunities through trying to do too much at once; don't spend too much money, either, but make a point of saving. This ought to be a period of good income, which tends to make you openhanded and generous, perhaps to a fault. Keep your eyes and ears open; some of the best forward pushes of your life will come in these periods when circumstances combine to give you the rewards of work done in the past and to open up new doors for the future.

Oct 23, 2006 - Jupiter Square Moon

These are periods of physical and mental excess, generally resulting in fatigue and a necessity to take time off and rest. Self-indulgence wears you out and requires a holiday. This is a good time for a vacation. If you can afford to relax (and you really can't afford

Page 25: Heaven Knows What - Astrology Software · books, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions, were the first astrological books to become best sellers and even today, over fifty

not to), you can enjoy life here. Be careful of excesses with money and emotions, protect your diet. The pleasures of food and drink are very alluring and make plenty of trouble if indulged in.

Nov 5, 2006 - Mars Opposite Sun

This transit is likely to mark periods of quarrels, strife, disagreements, difficulty in getting along with people. It is therefore a good time to lie low and be silent; to observe and do your duty without argument or fuss. Conserve strength: there is a tendency to go to extremes. Adventuresomeness and romance run riot and kick up a lot of trouble. New contacts are exciting but not necessarily of any permanent worth. If other transits indicate a generally good period, increased energy here can bring good results; under negative transits you should lie as low as possible and avoid getting into trouble. There may be accidents or illness.

Nov 24, 2006 - Jupiter Conjunct Neptune

Deep self-assurance causes you to believe in your emotions, your intuitions, your hunches. They're probably right, but that is no reason for you to go to extremes about them. Best result of this is a creative period; externalize your ideals, find the way to express the things you take for granted, in terms that the world will admire. In your determination to be yourself, remember that you have several selves and choose to be the one that will best serve your long-range purposes. Exorcise the demons of your subconscious; and at the same time call on your subconscious to support your highest aims, your most idealistic dreams. This can be a period of self-pity, spiritual debauchery and self-indulgence - or it can be a high and shining crusade for the truest vision you have ever experienced.

Nov 25, 2006 - Mars Opposite Mercury

Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent.

Nov 26, 2006 - Mars Square Moon

Fatigue leads to strife, so relax. There may be illness and you may lose your grip on things. Refuse to take yourself too seriously. Go to bed and rest instead of brooding; you'll avoid strife and trouble thereby. Force no issues. Energy may find its expression in some glamorous romance which may or may not be important, depending on other long-range transits in force at the same time with this.

Dec 6, 2006 - Mars Conjunct Neptune

Super intuition gives you uncanny insight into motives and methods of other people, but not always into your own. Practice self-analysis. You swiftly feel your creative

Page 26: Heaven Knows What - Astrology Software · books, Heaven Knows What and Astrology for the Millions, were the first astrological books to become best sellers and even today, over fifty

power, of which you can make good use. Beware sensationalism, sentimentality, self-indulgence; fight subconscious urges, suppressed desires, and make your inner ego work for you along constructive lines. This is an excellent period for creative work, for impersonal use of magnetism for business ends and aims and for social popularity. You have glamour that attracts others: be sure it attracts the right kind of people and for the right reasons. The Old Adam rears his head and may require discipline.

Dec 9, 2006 - Mars Opposite Venus

Heightened emotions make romance, which is favored if you keep it within the bounds of reason and convention. Impulsive acts, with or without a future, are frequently found in these recurrent periods. Glamour surrounds your approach to life; you are susceptible to the opposite sex and they to you. This transit frequently indicates the time of marriage within the period of a longer transit that favors it. If the era of romance is past, this indicates an active and on the whole satisfactory social period; business progress; extravagance with money; a sudden urge to go places and do things - and perhaps a chafing at the marital bit which should not be taken too seriously. Energies work through emotions and passions, which in turn work overtime and should be gently disciplined though not entirely submerged. Often, for obvious reasons, this transit indicates the conception of children, especially if it occurs while Mars is conjunct your sun or conjunct your Mars.

Dec 16, 2006 - Mars Opposite Mars

Ideas are numerous but likely to prove more bother than they are worth; this not a good time for starting new ventures. Aim to quell restlessness, and stick to the line established about a year before, giving it perhaps some new twist, but not deviating from it in any radical particular. Temperament runs high; emotions are likely to be troublesome; self-will is an obstacle. It is a good time to go away on a vacation. But it is a bad time to try to get away from any established thing permanently. In the life check-up, these periods, recurring about every two years, mark tension, stress, new obligations connected with established things - sometimes a break or change which, in all probability, did not work out as well as it was expected to and forced a new start again a year or less later.

Jan 9, 2007 - Mars Square Pluto

This transit represents a strong alliance of similar energies. A sense of mystery pervades otherwise mundane events. Aggressiveness peaks. Care should be taken to secure your holding, protect your possessions and yourself, for this transit includes some vulnerability to the principle of redistribution. You might be knocked off your throne for no apparent reason. You could emerge from this period thinking the universe is a quixotic, capricious place, or you could take events as keynotes of respect for structure and self-care.

Sexual energy will be high. You could find yourself surrounded by irresistible people, and the tendency is to think that the veil between you and them is much thinner than it

really is. Take time to treat people respectfully. Take this opportunity to de-objectify your world view and adopt a more service-oriented demeanor. Depending on how successfully you have mastered life's trials, this could be a time of "icing on the cake". Just make sure the recipients of your "death blows" are the nasty loitering ghosts in your own psyche, not the people on the street whom these ghosts resemble.

Jan 22, 2007 - Saturn Opposite Moon

You experience emotional stress, perhaps a physical or material setback. Your personality has worked toward objectifying itself, and you are now finding that you have lost something in the process. Not to feel sorry for yourself is the chief prescription for this period. What you have lost is mainly sentimentality - an attitude toward yourself better forgotten. What you gain is re-evaluation of your personal qualities, an ability to stand outside yourself, and to marshal your mental and emotional energies so that you will continuously master them in the future. You gain a certain hardness, which need not destroy your human qualities, but which will enable you to use mental, emotional and creative powers more effectively in the future. The beneficial result of this period is self-mastery through objectivity and detachment. In lovematters you may have a difficult period. In material matters you are likely to mark a low point. The ego is too much occupied with itself to be materially effective in the world, but learns the need of effectiveness as a result of this experience.

Jan 23, 2007 - Mars Square Uranus

This transit is not usually important except as a marker of temperament and minor strife. But at one of these periods some major break due to temperament - some sudden shift in the pace and direction of the life - is likely to occur. The individuality is suddenly awakened to broader horizons, greater worlds to conquer, and determined to shake off the shackles of restraint. In undisciplined persons this will mark periodic temperament, rages, rebellion and strife; also accidents and setbacks due to lack of nervous coordination. In normally disciplined individuals all but one or two of these periods should be comparatively inconspicuous. But the one or two may be memorable and probably nothing to be proud of.

Feb 1, 2007 - Saturn Square Mercury

This aspect deepens mental processes, providing concentrative powers for deep study and thought. It is usually accompanied by some mild or acute melancholy and depression, which work and self-discipline will minimize. Loss of self-esteem is likely - the thought that you're no good becomes acute. Keeping your mind on things outside yourself helps. Study, reading and writing are excellent, though creativeness and originality fail you. Don't worry must be your motto; also Face the facts. Escapism leads into bad nervous tangles. This is a good aspect to have while in school or college, when opportunity for study is greatest and the "cold, cold world" is not yet a reality that you have to consider. Corning later when you're out in the "cold, cold world," it indicates a period when you can return to the student state to good advantage, putting your mind on objective fact rather than on emotional concerns. Finances are under tension; there is a need for

budgets, restraint and efficiency.

Feb 25, 2007 - Mars Square Jupiter

This will generally not amount to much, but periods of loss through risks or gambles or through over-enthusiasm or bad business judgment are frequently marked by it. The outlook is too enthusiastic to let sober reason dominate; but this generally brings nothing but minor extravagance. This transit might mark some major material setback due to a combination of bad judgment and bad luck.

Mar 9, 2007 - Mars Square Sun

This combination increases the importance of worldly position and brings shifts in prestige, credit, standing and publicity. Handle contacts with superiors carefully. Can be a peak of accomplishment or the collapse of hopes: it is in any case a climax, for good or bad, of career matters. You should not force issues but should rather "relax in the saddle of fate" and take what comes. Making demands, insisting, becoming arrogant or stressing your "rights" will only make trouble. Luck is with you, if you let it flow in its own channels and at its own pace; it deserts you if you try to hurry it or to force it beyond its normal bounds.

Mar 27, 2007 - Mars Square Mercury

Quick speech, thought and actions make strife and trouble. Be silent, cagey, noncommittal. The quick retort makes trouble. Wrong decisions often come in one of these periods, which recur about every six months and need careful watching. Sometimes the most casual remark results in a lasting grudge. Mountains (of trouble) grow out of molehills (of speech). It is best to be silent.

Mar 28, 2007 - Mars Conjunct Moon

The urge to express yourself induces you to express your most temperamental self. In emotional people this marks, as it recurs every two years, some tension and inner turmoil directly related to the inner self that they are trying to express in the world. It leads to strife, unconventionality, inner discord which transfers itself to the outer world. It is an excellent time for a vacation or for lying low and forcing no issues. Frequently the transit marks ill health for yourself or your mate. The worst of the ego nature comes out; all the complexes and suppressed desires rush to the surface and need to be put back in their place. The best result of this transit is awakened and increased self-knowledge. One of these periods in the life check-up will frequently mark a major emotional experience that you have never forgotten. The inner nature is brought rudely into contact with realities, and false notions are stripped away, frequently with great personal upheaval.

Apr 9, 2007 - Mars Square Venus

Social and romantic glamour leads to excesses, sometimes to strife, quarrels, separations. Minor loves and friendships break up, but important relations are merely strained; and indeed this frequently adds glamour to a deep love, intensifying its beauty.

A break here, unless contributed to by some more important transit, is a sure index that the feeling wasn't very deep or important anyway. Avoid excess spending and stay away from temptation if you're interested in sticking to the conventions.

Apr 15, 2007 - Mars Square Mars

This transit indicates a period of hard work and abundant energies, which causes no trouble unless major disruptive influences are in force. There is a slight tendency to talk too much, boast and be arrogant, but the swiftness of the pace generally carries you through without major trouble. Protect health and nerves from excess; be objective and detached; and let reason rule the emotions.
