The Astrology Book

Venus Square, Semi-square, or Sesqui-square Neptune: You won’t let yourself care for or

really go all out for your dreams and ideals. There is something in you that wants to ignore or

cut short your mystic and dreamy side. Your dreams tend to intrude and haunt you. There is a

real dichotomy.

Venus Conjunct Pluto: You love all that is personal, secret, and esoteric. Vulnerability is

something you appreciate and value, and you love to sift and analyze what you find within the

human psyche. You show affection with passion and intensity.

Venus Opposite Pluto: You may find yourself craving the superficial and common. You could

have a lot of trouble getting past the surface and appreciating your deeply personal issues and

sensitive areas. You may tend to ignore your more passionate desires.

Venus Trine, Sextile, or Semi-sextile Pluto: An almost reckless faith in the life process. A

natural revolutionary and supporter of change. Fervent feelings for others and deep running

emotions mark all relationships. Great personal intensity, even power. Love animals, children,

and change.

Venus Square, Semi-square, or Sesqui-square Pluto: You may not appreciate displays of

emotion or psychological analyzing and probing. This could become kind of a thing with you,

trying to avoid sensitive issues that keep coming up all around you. You are fascinated by this

stuff, not to mention gossip.

Mars Conjunct Jupiter: Your career is most important, and your drive and ambitions in that

direction are almost unlimited. You have an uncanny intuitive sense of when and how to make

the right moves. Success to you is a succession of successes. You move forward.

Mars Opposite Jupiter: Your emotions and drive tend to make things difficult for you, particu-

larly in career decisions. Vocational moves may stifle you and be at the expense of your emo-

tional wellbeing. There is a push/pull sort of thing.

Mars Trine, Sextile, or Semi-sextile Jupiter: Tremendous drive to succeed, plus some sheer

good luck, brings real accomplishment. Lots of physical energy available too. Very ambitious

and motivated. Could serve as group leader or manager. Family person. Career and marriage

work well.

Mars Square, Semi-square, or Sesqui-square Jupiter: You tend to have trouble coordinating

your drive with good career moves. You rush into things, often against your own best interests.

You have to be careful selecting a life path, so you don’t ignore feelings and emotions.

Mars Conjunct Saturn: It is easy for you to push too hard and maybe break something. You

may have difficulty learning to use force wisely or efficiently. Learning to contain yourself, foot

your energy, and build a good engine will be important to your well-being.
