The Astrology Book

great projects with ease. You are fiercely loyal to your friends. Also, very integral ... perhaps

too sober.

Sun Square, Semi-square, or Sesqui-square Saturn: Your organizational abilities and sense of

responsibility can sometimes limit your own true ambitions. Your seriousness may be counter-

productive, making it difficult for you to build a foundation. Older men or authorities may

prove troublesome.

Sun Conjunct Uranus: You are independent and value freedom and the ability to move around

and avoid routine. You admire the unconventional and different, and your friends could be

eccentric authority figures. Inventions, electronics, computers, and the like would appeal.

Sun Opposite Uranus: Your own independence and sense of personal freedom may challenge

the establishment or authorities. Others may find you unconventional and eccentric at times.

Your solution to problems can be somewhat radical and work against your own interests.

Sun Trine, Sextile, or Semi-sextile Uranus: Breakthrough flashes of insight with tremendous

originality and independence are typical. A natural sense of invention and a love of all things

electrical and of communication in general. A born traveler, not afraid to be alone. You go

your own way.

Sun Square, Semi-square, or Sesqui-square Uranus: Your need for self-expression and inde-

pendence may be at the expense of your real growth. You may rebel or find yourself bucking

authority figures. It is clear to you that your unconventionality costs you. Part of you wants to

conform and go along.

Sun Conjunct Neptune: You have a great imagination and probably can entrance an audi-

ence in short order with your visions and ideals. You tend to expect the best from others and

may find guidance from a spiritual teacher or older person. You are a dreamer, a high floater.

Sun Opposite Neptune: Others may not always support your self-image and your personal

ideals. At times, your more romantic and idealistic side may even work against your best inter-

ests, resulting in disappointments and disillusion with partners, authorities, and such.

Sun Trine, Sextile, or Semi-sextile Neptune: A born mother to any and all forms of life. Very

compassionate and attentive (aware of) the needs of others. Spiritual ideas and concepts are a way

of life here. There is deep appreciation, even love for, movies, big ideas, themes. Visionary director.

Sun Square, Semi-square, or Sesqui-square Neptune: You struggle between your sense of

ideals and your more practical ambitions. Your self-image and dreams are kept apart from the

day-to-day practical concerns. They continue to confront one another. Authorities may not

trust you, and vice versa.

Sun Conjunct Pluto: Others may find you very intense and too personal. You are very direct

and manage to get to the heart of most matters without thinking. Power struggles are not

unknown to you, and you may work in politics or with authorities—those older than you.
