The Astrology Book

foggy-mindedness and lack of clarity, a fear of being misled or duped. Your feelings tend to

compromise your own self-image.

Mars Conjunct Pluto: Intense and passionate emotions are your trademark, and you have a

sense of mission when it comes to pursuing psychological issues and anything that is esoteric,

hidden, secret. You search things out and are at home with change and transformation.

Mars Opposite Pluto: You sometimes find your ambitions taking you in directions that have

no future or limit you from change and growth. Emotionally, you tend to resist change and

anything intensely personal and possibly transformative.

Mars Trine, Sextile, or Semi-sextile Pluto: Great intensity of emotions and purpose. Could

be a spokesperson for a cause or a generation. Fearless in action and not afraid to use power.

Will have your way. Know how to get what you want. A very magnetic and perhaps controver-

sial personality.

Mars Square, Semi-square, or Sesqui-square Pluto: Your ambition and drive are often at the

expense of your inner self and sensitivities. You may find yourself ignoring signals that indicate a

need for change, transformation, and vulnerability in general. Bursts of intense anger are possi-

ble.

Jupiter Conjunct Saturn: Your career moves are always solid, responsible, and based on sound

principles. When you make a decision, it is one you can build on and take to the bank. Not

frivolous, you don’t get involved with superficial projects. You like solid investments.

Jupiter Opposite Saturn: You tend to be unorganized and lack planning when it comes to

career and life-path decisions. You like to throw caution to the wind, ignore whatever respon-

sibilities you have, and pursue an objective. You fluctuate between conservation and liberality.

Jupiter Trine, Sextile, or Semi-sextile Saturn: You possess an architect’s vision for what needs

to be done and how to do it right to make it last—an expert or true builder. Knowing what tool

to use and just how and when to use it. A sense of the right path or dharma. With you, the

means and ends are identical.

Jupiter Square, Semi-square, or Sesqui-square Saturn: You tend to pursue options and go off

in directions without adequate organization and planning. You need discipline but have trou-

ble submitting to learn it, preferring instead to take what appears to be an easier path, ending

up short of your goals.

Jupiter Conjunct Uranus: Yours is an unconventional path that may take you into unknown

and uncharted waters. Inventive and original, you may come up with new and different solu-

tions. Electronics, computers, and the like may be to the fore.

Jupiter Opposite Uranus: Any unconventional behavior on your part often ends up affecting

your career. Your day-to-day path to success tends to be very staid and lacking in originality,

which is what prompts you to leap outside convention and do something unusual.
