The Astrology Book

Neptune Trine, Sextile, or Semi-sextile Pluto: A searing vision that cuts through what passes

for conventional religion. A vision of the endless process of life ever being born afresh. Great

acceptance and faith in the natural process and next generation. Love of children and animals.

Neptune Square, Semi-square, or Sesqui-square Pluto: Your self-image and the ideals you

strive for tend to ignore an equally important area of yourself, the hidden and vulnerable areas

of human psychology. This urge to explore depth-psychology conflicts with a desire to escape

and dream.

Sun Conjunct Midheaven: You naturally gravitate toward positions of power and authority.

Others see in you great practical ability and accept you as a leader or authority figure very easily.

Your career may be very important to you, even at the expense of home life.

Sun Opposite Midheaven: You tend to be a homebody, and family interests often outweigh

career concerns. This could prove difficult if you neglect practical matters or go out of your

way to challenge those in authority. Others may find you uninterested in fame and career.

Sun Trine or Sextile Midheaven: You seem to shine when it comes to practical matters or

those involving work and career. You have an easy way with superiors or those in authority and

can always manage to get the most out of any skill or ability you have. You like work and career.

Sun Square Midheaven: Your preoccupation with your appearance, how you come across to

others, and a social life in general may cut into both your job and your family life. A tendency

toward surface and social graces can cost you plenty in career and home goals.

Moon Conjunct Midheaven: You are expert at manipulating the public and its many moods.

Your practical sense for group psychology may find you in real demand as an organizer and pro-

ducer of public events. You have real insight into feelings, moods—what makes people work.

Moon Opposite Midheaven: You flee from crowds and are most happy when surrounded by

home, family, and all that is private. Your home life is most important. It matters not to you

that you are not a public person and not at your best when in a crowd.

Moon Trine or Sextile Midheaven: Your career always seems to get the support you need, and

this is one area of life that runs smoothly. You seem to understand what the public wants, and

mass marketing is a natural for you.

Moon Square Midheaven: You could find that you are neglecting either your home and family

or your career (or both) due to your social and personal life. Relationships, working with other

people, and making a good presentation. Home life is secondary.

Mercury Conjunct Midheaven: You have a mind for what is practical, organized, and logical.

Your employer is probably happy to get you, for you are a natural for management positions. A ten-

dency to be a bit manipulating now and then should be noted. Always planning and scheming.

Mercury Opposite Midheaven: Your mind runs to domestic issues; home and family are always

on your mind. This trait could work against your career interests, especially if your job requires

managerial and organizational skills. Perhaps a home business would be good.
