with touchy issues that others wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole.

public image and goals. There may be tricky finances connected with your business or profes-

sion. Obligations involving women, research, or detecting are important in your career.

Pluto Trine or Sextile Midheaven: The supportive help of women or a girl can be an important

factor that will affect business or reputation and increase your sense of security. You are a fine

psychologist, researcher, or detective and are good at dealing with joint or others’ finances.

Pluto Square Midheaven: Intense and probing partnerships and relationships always find you

getting to the heart of things, getting down to the nitty-gritty with others. Some may feel you

get too personal.

Sun Conjunct Ascendant: You are always out front and manage to spend a lot of time in the

spotlight in social situations. A born teacher, others find you easy to watch and learn from. You

are very animated, and it is easy for you to convey your ideas or get them across.

and may sometimes work against your personal needs. You could lose yourself in the social

ing on in front of a group. You wear your heart on your sleeve, and your emotional life is an

open book for all to read. Others sense an interest in their welfare when they meet you.

cerned about you as a person and more interested in relationships of all kinds. Others find you
