The Living Force
For Laura’s birthday, I ran an interpretative report of her astrological chart and sent it to her. It’s from a professional-level program* I bought about 10 years ago. Every time I’ve read these reports for someone I know well, I’m amazed at this guy’s psychological insights, accuracy and specificity.
After reading Laura’s, I wanted to share those parts which I think Forum members will be able to appreciate. What stood out to me was how much Laura has met her challenges, maximized her potential strengths, and fulfilled her karmic mission–much to everyone’s benefit.
My hope is that this might encourage everyone in their work with the karmic “cards they've been dealt."
A few notes:
1) I've excluded anything about individual issues that only Laura or those close to her could evaluate for accuracy. As a result, what follows are the “victories.” Keep that in mind so you don’t lose your perspective and end up feeling more discouraged than encouraged.
2) I've put in bold certain words that appeared frequently
3) I've put in bold a few sentences that were...well you'll see :)
4) And check out some of those headings!

Transformation of values (Venus Quincunx Pluto)

You have the capacity for helping others in crisis - especially on a psychological level.
Experimentation (Mars Trine Uranus)
You are an extremely dynamic person and you can perform tasks in a flurry of activity in half the time ordinary mortals take. You need excitement and originality in your work, and you do your best work when a deadline is threatening. When you decide to act, you strike like lightning. However you are best at working in short bursts of energy. Longer periods of activity tire and bore you.
You have talent for working with technical matters - for example engineering, computers etc. You may also have a taste for more untraditional work, perhaps connected with Esoteric fields, consciousness-raising etc. The essential ingredient is freedom to experiment and learn from your own experiences...
You are something of a pioneer, and may embark on dangerous travels to foreign lands.
Faith in a positive outcome (Jupiter In Aries)
You have the ability to achieve short-term goals at considerable speed, and luck will often be on your side. You have leadership abilities. Self-confidence and a naive faith in your abilities bring you a long way. To make the most of the your natural blessings in this area, it is important for you to formulate your future goals. Thereafter the simple act of taking the initiative, coupled with a strong faith in the outcome, will almost certainly ensure success.
Some people may consider this style rather impulsive, yet a positive attitude coupled with action - the surprise attack - brings untold benefits. The benefits you can achieve never arise when you are passive. Do something!
Cultural values (Jupiter Opposition Saturn)
You have the capacity to attain a meaningful and powerful position in society. Having the ability to sense the right time, and be in the right place, you know how to take advantage of professional trends to create expansive conditions for professional growth. If all goes well you can consolidate your position after a period of expansion, and from this new foundation go on to create further growth. The main issue as regard success is the ability to have faith in the future and act on it.
…
You can work in central positions in organisations because you inspire the feeling of stability and trust. You may have a talent for planning, consultancy and organisation...
You have the capacity to create structures in society which bring lasting benefit.
Exhilaration (Jupiter Square Uranus)
This aspect can last for a number of months and have a strong collective influence. If you harness this influence in your career you will have a strong idealism both socially and as far as introducing new methods are concerned.
Your provocative views will be a challenge to the establishment. You are an internationalist, and wish to concern yourself with issues that cut across national borders. This can bring travel to exotic lands and contact with exotic cultures.
You can channel enormous enthusiasm about the future into your career - for you the path of liberation lies in innovation and experimentation
[Did he just refer to the Cassiopaean experiment? :) :
You can channel...the future...
the path of liberation lies in...experiment... ]
You would thrive in an international organisation, and as you also have strong humanitarian tendencies you may choose to work in a field which has to do with social reform or perhaps consciousness-raising.
Social responsibility (Saturn In Libra Retrograde)
Saturn was in this sign in the years 1950-53 and 1980-82. There was a strong emphasis in society on the principles of justice, and on partnership institutions. Expressed in your own career, you may find yourself assuming a professional role in which your judgment and diplomatic abilities are important.
You will often find yourself sandwiched between people with differing views, and your word will carry weight in these situations. You are slow to pass judgment, and very concerned about any miscarriage of justice. You are good at dealing with people, and can acquire a position of authority in this respect...
Universal family (Uranus In Cancer Retrograde)
Uranus takes 84 years to orbit the Sun and is in this sign for 7 years, representing a collective influence on a whole generation. It shows how you are most influenced by revolutionary attitudes in society.
Uranus went through this sign from 1949-1956, and will do so again from 2033-2040. Politically this brings new concepts of patriotism, with isolationist tendencies on the one hand, and new political alliances and loyalties on the other. On the social front there are great changes in the public view about the family unit and challenges to the traditional idea of family as a stable institution.
If this influence happens to be personalised in your horoscope, you …may manifest your uniqueness through some unusual event or personal style in connection with your own family–in particular a tendency for communal living. You may also have the ability to take in your stride radical change in the family or sudden moves of home.
Cosmic balance (Neptune In Libra Retrograde)
Because this planet was retrograde at your birth, you will have an instinctive knowledge of, and attraction to, the following traits and activities. You will tend to… pursue your own individual path in strong contrast to the path chosen by others.
Neptune takes 165 years to orbit the Sun, and approximately 14 years to go through one sign. Its influence affects a whole generation, and is associated with a new sensory and spiritual awareness, and greater compassion, in connection with the sign it is in. …
Neptune was in Libra from 1778-1793, and again from 1942-1955. There was an especial concern with justice and equal rights in these periods, with a strong idealism concerning equality before the law, and between the sexes. There was a strong tendency to over-idealise partnership in the media, whilst the institution of marriage was undermined in public life. Politically there is a strong emphasis on the balance of power, with grotesque distortion of opposing factions.
If you channel this collective influence in a personal way …you will be profoundly influenced by the dissolution of relationships around you, and a need will arise to redefine the importance of partnerships in your own life. You may however have a very refined talent for dealing with other people, partly because you have a compassionate nature and genuine interest in others. You believe in being on an equal level with others.
Mass vision (Neptune Sextile Pluto)
This aspect is extremely powerful in your horoscope, and will be a major feature of your character.
…the present sextile aspect between the two planets lasts 100 years (1940-2040), so almost everyone has it! If you are able to manifest this influence on a personal level, it may be connected with a deep spirituality and creativity.
There can be talent for dealing with the media and wide-ranging themes connected with the masses. Material issues will be less important for you than the realisation of a collective dream. In industry, there can be a talent for dealing with oil, the film industry or the transforming power of collective visions.
There can be clairvoyant powers, and abilities connected with dreams, symbols and visualising.
Individual power (Pluto In Leo Retrograde)
You will learn special lessons in connection with attachments to people and things from the distant past, and a turning point will arise…
Pluto’s effects are… felt collectively on a very deep level in society, bringing trauma, transformation and renewal in regard to the sign it’s in.
Pluto was in Leo from 1693-1711, and again from 1939-1957. These were times of power politics with charismatic leaders wielding dictatorial power. This was a period in which power was concentrated in the hands of an elite, and when hero-figures played an important formative role on the national psyche. Entertainment became a new force to sway the masses, and a new freedom based on increased leisure put the emphasis on individual development and self-realisation. …
If your Ascendant is in Scorpio, you may have a forceful character and charismatic influence on others. You have very strong personal convictions and principles, which you will express in an uncompromising way. Being a natural leader, you resent being bullied by anyone in authority, though you can be rather autocratic yourself. …
Rewards (South Node In Virgo)
…There is a tendency to get snowed under with work, and the older you get the more monotonous work tends to be. There is a gnawing doubt about the value of the work you do, and it becomes essential for you to gain a greater perspective and define what your life's work should be.…Changing your working style can be important for your health
MODERATE, FREQUENT INFLUENCES
Subjectivity (Sun Conjunction Mercury)
There is a great mental talent and a restless desire to learn more and gain experience. You would thrive in a job which gave you the opportunity to be on the move and meet people, as communication is definitely one of your strong points.
…you need constant mental stimulation. This can of course lead to a number of radical job changes.
Alternatively you can satisfy your need for stimulation by going on courses or undertaking study projects. You have good teaching abilities and would prosper in any position in which you had to get a message across. Your strong points are your versatility, curiosity and a youthful enthusiasm.
…
Consciousness change (Sun Sesquisquare Uranus)
Your chief contribution to society is your ability to entertain original ideas and experiment with new ways of doing things. You need to work in an independent position. … You quickly become bored if you have to perform the same functions day in day out.
You need to meet people--and you thrive on unusual challenges, especially if they involve travel and dealing with radically different cultures. You may travel long distances to exotic countries, or work with advanced technology.
Alternatively you will go your own unique direction in your professional life, developing authority talents–perhaps connected with consciousness development in one form or another.
You are not one to stand on ceremony either - you hate stuffy protocol and thrive on contacts with young and old, rich and poor.
It is your job to pave the way to the future with new ideas and an original life-style.
Develop intuitive sensitivity (Moon Semisquare Neptune)
You are a supremely sensitive and impressionable person, and this will express itself as a moodiness and indefinable dissatisfaction. Yet you will almost certainly have creative and caring sides to your nature which can stand you in good stead professionally…
You have a capacity for being very sympathetic and understanding, and this may be a part of your work. You have spiritual talents - perhaps you can work with dreams or the unconscious in some way.
You are powerfully influenced by your environment, and including the mood of the people around you. It is wise to choose environments free from pollution, spiritually, emotionally and physically.
Disseminating information (Mercury Sextile Jupiter)
One of your great professional assets is your intellectual curiosity and interest in communication and information. You can be something of a perpetual student, accumulating knowledge and insight for a rainy day. These intellectual talents bring you success in fields which require study, writing, meeting people, travel and generally exchanging ideas.
Clarity of thoughts (Mercury Trine Neptune)
You have a very refined mental sensitivity which may be expressed through some form of imaginative and creative work. You possess a wonderful intuition, but formal learning and dry facts do not interest you. You can be quite a perfectionist and are very good at spotting mistakes and errors.
…
Dissolution of structure (Saturn Conjunction Neptune)
These two slow-moving planets form rare aspects as part of a 36-year conjunction cycle. …
you will be concerned with making dreams real, and bringing visions down to earth. This may be expressed politically, through concerned social work, or perhaps your career will be touched by some other form of contact with the pressing social issues that this aspect symbolises.
…
You have excellent teaching talents, because you both have the capacity to concentrate on details, and at the same time can draw wide-ranging conclusions. You can maintain an overall perspective, even when drowned in facts and figures.
You can also be extremely persuasive, and this can give a talent for sales. People can come to you for advice and information.
You are also suited to a position in an office, where you have access to phones and faxes, computers etc. You may be rather restless, so you need to work in a position in which you work with a whole spectrum of daily tasks, or in a situation in which you meet a variety of different people, perhaps whilst traveling around.
Structural renewal (Saturn Square Uranus)
In so far as you channel this influence through your career you have the capacity to deal with large organisations and will often find yourself in the position of establishing a bridge from the old to the new. With one foot in tradition and the established values of collective experience, you will also have to deal with the necessity of reform to adjust to a new future.
Depending on which side of this equation you are on, there can be conflict with established authorities. Thus you will often be confronted by two separate and very different camps with very different viewpoints. You deal with social structures which have outlived their usefulness; perhaps a revolution is necessary to make room for the future.
You can be skilled at finding ways of putting new technology to practical use. You can work in areas concerned with social reform.
Old Karma (Saturn Sesquisquare North Node)
You have an aura of authority in the circles you frequent, and you have the ability to influence the groups and organisations to which you belong, because of your sober and realistic attitude. You feel a kind of responsibility for the society you live in, even though it may not treat you well. Despite the fact that you feel uncomfortable in larger groups you can still effect lasting changes in the structure of society.
You are ambitious enough to be the person through which structural forces in society are channeled. You know what you want and have surprising willpower, but you feel the hand of fate behind every step you take.
MILD, SUBTLE INFLUENCES
Winning self-esteem (Sun Trine Saturn)
You are a hard-working and ambitious person with a strong drive to prove yourself in society. There may however be difficulties with authorities…
The first 30 years of your life will bring a great deal of obstacles to success, but you will learn important lessons and ultimately develop a self-sufficiency and discipline which lays the foundation for success later in life. It is important for you to overcome negativity or pessimism concerning the future.
Not all success is won by hard work alone.
…If all goes well you will acquire more and more responsibility during the course of your life–and you deserve it.
You are conscientious and take your responsibilities seriously. You are the kind of person other people can rely on. You would rather be the power behind the throne, than have a high profile yourself.
Remember to take time to enjoy the fruits of your efforts, instead of continuously driving yourself onwards.
Temperament (Moon Sextile Mars)
You have a dynamic and forceful personality, and generally get your way in your professional dealings. …You are impatient, but on the other hand you tend to invest your heart and soul into your work and get things done quickly and efficiently.…
Emotional awareness (Moon Quincunx Mercury)
You have great persuasive talents because you make an emotional investment in everything you say. At its best you can use these communicative talents to sway the feelings of the people around you - obviously a great asset when speaking to a public.
You know how to tune in to the mood of the crowd and have an instinctive talent for saying the right thing. You need to be passionately engaged in your work, and function best in a role which gives you human contact.
You work better with people than with things, but there is good business talent, especially as regards property…
Unpredictability (Moon Sextile Uranus)
You are something of a gipsy, and this means you can adjust to extremely unusual professional environments. You would thrive in a job in a foreign country for example - the more exotic the better. You are well-suited to working with people who are alienated from society in some way, especially if they come from a different culture.
On the other hand you function very badly in a conventional place of work, where the same functions have to be performed day in, day out. You have a very low threshold for boredom, so you are suited to a job which brings exciting changes and variation during the course of the day - preferably meeting people.
You have an advanced intuition and very sensitive antenna - this may give you some talents in the Esoteric sphere.
Disseminating information (Mercury Sextile Jupiter)
One of your great professional assets is your intellectual curiosity and interest in communication and information. You can be something of a perpetual student, accumulating knowledge and insight for a rainy day. These intellectual talents bring you success in fields which require study, writing, meeting people, travel and generally exchanging ideas.
You have excellent teaching talents, because you both have the capacity to concentrate on details, and at the same time can draw wide-ranging conclusions. You can maintain an overall perspective, even when drowned in facts and figures.
You can also be extremely persuasive, and this can give a talent for sales. People can come to you for advice and information. You are also suited to a position in an office, where you have access to phones and faxes, computers etc.
You may be rather restless, so you need to work in a position in which you work with a whole spectrum of daily tasks, or in a situation in which you meet a variety of different people, perhaps whilst travelling around.
Fortune (Venus Square Jupiter)
You have excellent aesthetic judgment, and strong personal values and convictions. You are suited to any profession which can make use of your ability to evaluate and compare …
You also have a great ability to impress others with your charm and insight. You would be wasted in a job which did not allow you the opportunity to meet and influence people. …
Normally you are lucky, and a great deal of money can flow through your hands. How fast it flows is another question altogether.…
Formality (Venus Square Saturn)
You have a strong sense of responsibility regarding your professional relationships, and you value trust and stability most of all. You can therefore function well in long-term business partnerships, and you are especially good at relating to the public in a friendly, though formal manner. You have a pleasing diplomatic nature and a fine sense of protocol.
Job security and a strong economy are important to you, and other things being equal you are very careful with money.
Women with this aspect can be especially ambitious and willing to endure considerable hardship to get on in a career….
As time goes by you grow to learn exactly what you are worth, and expect to get paid for it.
Untraditional relationships (Venus Opposition Uranus)
You need to work in an exciting environment where you are together with people who have untraditional ideas, or who come from unusual cultures or backgrounds.…
You have a talent for working with the media…As you have a strong interest in consciousness-raising groups you may get involved with political, spiritual or social movements.
You function well in a team–but not in a conventional working environment…
Sharpness (Mars Square Mercury)
You have an extremely acute mind, and can generally come to a decision far faster than the average person. You are quick to take action and enjoy the pleasure of outsmarting your competitors. You enjoy the thrill of mental combat.
…You have plenty of energy too, and like to travel and meet people. You are a go-getter.
Expansive dreams (Jupiter Opposition Neptune)
There may be a talent for marketing or advertising or selling a dream or vision. There can also be a drive to evangelise on a social, religious or political level. You can be strongly motivated by altruistic ideals and identify with some kind of vision or dream that transcends your own dreams.
On a more down to earth level there can be a talents for dealing with oil and related products - particularly plastics. There may also be an interest in oceans, the film industry and anything which enchants on a collective level. You can be hopelessly over-optimistic - heed realistic advice!
Transformation of beliefs (Jupiter Trine Pluto)
…You will have very strong convictions and a intense sense of justice, and as such will often find yourself getting involved in issues connected with beliefs, righteousness, power and the misuse of power - especially as far as large organisations are concerned.
…
Re-evaluate personal power (Saturn Sextile Pluto)
Normally this influence is felt more collectively than personally. The main issue here is the structure of power--its use and misuse. In your life you are sure to encounter people and organisations who have a powerful position in society, for good or ill. This can for example include the police, tax authorities, corporations or secret organisations.
When this influence becomes strong in your life, you will find yourself in a position which requires enormous willpower. This can lead to the overthrow of powerful people, or the collapse and restructuring of powerful institutions.
It is your mission to transform the unacceptable use of authority. You also have the capacity to wield power and in doing so reform organisations.

You are an extremely dynamic person and you can perform tasks in a flurry of activity in half the time ordinary mortals take. You need excitement and originality in your work, and you do your best work when a deadline is threatening. When you decide to act, you strike like lightning. However you are best at working in short bursts of energy. Longer periods of activity tire and bore you.
You have talent for working with technical matters - for example engineering, computers etc. You may also have a taste for more untraditional work, perhaps connected with Esoteric fields, consciousness-raising etc. The essential ingredient is freedom to experiment and learn from your own experiences...
You are something of a pioneer, and may embark on dangerous travels to foreign lands.
Faith in a positive outcome (Jupiter In Aries)
You have the ability to achieve short-term goals at considerable speed, and luck will often be on your side. You have leadership abilities. Self-confidence and a naive faith in your abilities bring you a long way. To make the most of the your natural blessings in this area, it is important for you to formulate your future goals. Thereafter the simple act of taking the initiative, coupled with a strong faith in the outcome, will almost certainly ensure success.
Some people may consider this style rather impulsive, yet a positive attitude coupled with action - the surprise attack - brings untold benefits. The benefits you can achieve never arise when you are passive. Do something!
Cultural values (Jupiter Opposition Saturn)
You have the capacity to attain a meaningful and powerful position in society. Having the ability to sense the right time, and be in the right place, you know how to take advantage of professional trends to create expansive conditions for professional growth. If all goes well you can consolidate your position after a period of expansion, and from this new foundation go on to create further growth. The main issue as regard success is the ability to have faith in the future and act on it.
…
You can work in central positions in organisations because you inspire the feeling of stability and trust. You may have a talent for planning, consultancy and organisation...
You have the capacity to create structures in society which bring lasting benefit.
Exhilaration (Jupiter Square Uranus)
This aspect can last for a number of months and have a strong collective influence. If you harness this influence in your career you will have a strong idealism both socially and as far as introducing new methods are concerned.
Your provocative views will be a challenge to the establishment. You are an internationalist, and wish to concern yourself with issues that cut across national borders. This can bring travel to exotic lands and contact with exotic cultures.
You can channel enormous enthusiasm about the future into your career - for you the path of liberation lies in innovation and experimentation
[Did he just refer to the Cassiopaean experiment? :) :
You can channel...the future...
the path of liberation lies in...experiment... ]
You would thrive in an international organisation, and as you also have strong humanitarian tendencies you may choose to work in a field which has to do with social reform or perhaps consciousness-raising.
Social responsibility (Saturn In Libra Retrograde)
Saturn was in this sign in the years 1950-53 and 1980-82. There was a strong emphasis in society on the principles of justice, and on partnership institutions. Expressed in your own career, you may find yourself assuming a professional role in which your judgment and diplomatic abilities are important.
You will often find yourself sandwiched between people with differing views, and your word will carry weight in these situations. You are slow to pass judgment, and very concerned about any miscarriage of justice. You are good at dealing with people, and can acquire a position of authority in this respect...
Universal family (Uranus In Cancer Retrograde)
Uranus takes 84 years to orbit the Sun and is in this sign for 7 years, representing a collective influence on a whole generation. It shows how you are most influenced by revolutionary attitudes in society.
Uranus went through this sign from 1949-1956, and will do so again from 2033-2040. Politically this brings new concepts of patriotism, with isolationist tendencies on the one hand, and new political alliances and loyalties on the other. On the social front there are great changes in the public view about the family unit and challenges to the traditional idea of family as a stable institution.
If this influence happens to be personalised in your horoscope, you …may manifest your uniqueness through some unusual event or personal style in connection with your own family–in particular a tendency for communal living. You may also have the ability to take in your stride radical change in the family or sudden moves of home.
Cosmic balance (Neptune In Libra Retrograde)
Because this planet was retrograde at your birth, you will have an instinctive knowledge of, and attraction to, the following traits and activities. You will tend to… pursue your own individual path in strong contrast to the path chosen by others.
Neptune takes 165 years to orbit the Sun, and approximately 14 years to go through one sign. Its influence affects a whole generation, and is associated with a new sensory and spiritual awareness, and greater compassion, in connection with the sign it is in. …
Neptune was in Libra from 1778-1793, and again from 1942-1955. There was an especial concern with justice and equal rights in these periods, with a strong idealism concerning equality before the law, and between the sexes. There was a strong tendency to over-idealise partnership in the media, whilst the institution of marriage was undermined in public life. Politically there is a strong emphasis on the balance of power, with grotesque distortion of opposing factions.
If you channel this collective influence in a personal way …you will be profoundly influenced by the dissolution of relationships around you, and a need will arise to redefine the importance of partnerships in your own life. You may however have a very refined talent for dealing with other people, partly because you have a compassionate nature and genuine interest in others. You believe in being on an equal level with others.
Mass vision (Neptune Sextile Pluto)
This aspect is extremely powerful in your horoscope, and will be a major feature of your character.
…the present sextile aspect between the two planets lasts 100 years (1940-2040), so almost everyone has it! If you are able to manifest this influence on a personal level, it may be connected with a deep spirituality and creativity.
There can be talent for dealing with the media and wide-ranging themes connected with the masses. Material issues will be less important for you than the realisation of a collective dream. In industry, there can be a talent for dealing with oil, the film industry or the transforming power of collective visions.
There can be clairvoyant powers, and abilities connected with dreams, symbols and visualising.
Individual power (Pluto In Leo Retrograde)
You will learn special lessons in connection with attachments to people and things from the distant past, and a turning point will arise…
Pluto’s effects are… felt collectively on a very deep level in society, bringing trauma, transformation and renewal in regard to the sign it’s in.
Pluto was in Leo from 1693-1711, and again from 1939-1957. These were times of power politics with charismatic leaders wielding dictatorial power. This was a period in which power was concentrated in the hands of an elite, and when hero-figures played an important formative role on the national psyche. Entertainment became a new force to sway the masses, and a new freedom based on increased leisure put the emphasis on individual development and self-realisation. …
If your Ascendant is in Scorpio, you may have a forceful character and charismatic influence on others. You have very strong personal convictions and principles, which you will express in an uncompromising way. Being a natural leader, you resent being bullied by anyone in authority, though you can be rather autocratic yourself. …
Rewards (South Node In Virgo)
…There is a tendency to get snowed under with work, and the older you get the more monotonous work tends to be. There is a gnawing doubt about the value of the work you do, and it becomes essential for you to gain a greater perspective and define what your life's work should be.…Changing your working style can be important for your health

You are also suited to a position in an office, where you have access to phones and faxes, computers etc. You may be rather restless, so you need to work in a position in which you work with a whole spectrum of daily tasks, or in a situation in which you meet a variety of different people, perhaps whilst traveling around.
Structural renewal (Saturn Square Uranus)
In so far as you channel this influence through your career you have the capacity to deal with large organisations and will often find yourself in the position of establishing a bridge from the old to the new. With one foot in tradition and the established values of collective experience, you will also have to deal with the necessity of reform to adjust to a new future.
Depending on which side of this equation you are on, there can be conflict with established authorities.

You can be skilled at finding ways of putting new technology to practical use. You can work in areas concerned with social reform.
Old Karma (Saturn Sesquisquare North Node)

On the other hand you function very badly in a conventional place of work, where the same functions have to be performed day in, day out.

Re-evaluate personal power (Saturn Sextile Pluto)
