The Sun in the Signs
Sun in Libra (Fall): Your prime goal is relationships involving cooperation: your soul must become "we" instead of "me". Only through love can true union be achieved. You must balance outer appearance (personality) with inner appearance (soul). You want to be all things to all people, so you rarely take a stance, thus appearing two-faced. You see all sides to every problem and can't decide which side to take. You have a very strong desire for approval and you can't stand loneliness, giving you a strong desire for business and personal partnerships. You avoid all forms of quarrels and upsets, often allowing your opinions to be changed by others to avoid an argument. You must learn to form and keep your own opinions. It's difficult for you to be generous due to a tenacious hold on your money and your over-extravagance. You're secretive about finances and your personal life and resent any who pry into either. You have an executive/legal type mind, actively seeking new ideas, knowledge and mental stimulation. You like to travel and explore both mental and physical horizons. Surface diplomacy hides a fist of iron, but you won't believe you can be domineering and self-willed. You're diplomatic, out-going, friendly, tactful, naturally charming, cheerful, optimistic, graceful, popular and live life to the fullest. You have a strong sense of justice and will do your best to see that justice is done. You're conscientious and want to do good. Peace and harmony (balance) are important to you and you'll go to great lengths to achieve and maintain it. You're a strong believer in compromise. You identify strongly with your mother. A strong sense of duty and responsibility makes it difficult to break with the past, causing deep-seated and unexpressed resentment. You must express yourself to others and others must accept that expression. You're indecisive, making you appear lazy (which you sometimes are), putting off decision-making as long as possible. Once you decide you want something, you generally get it, one way or the other. You make an excellent and thoughtful host(ess). You may "fall in love with love", and a difficult partner may take advantage of your pleasantly casual qualities (in love and in business.) You have good business sense, but tend to be too kind to your rivals. You demand any and all partners work as hard as you do. (The more highly evolved you are, the more hard-working you are, especially after your twenty-ninth year.) You often initiate activities, then gain the cooperation of others. Psychology and human relationships greatly interest you. You rarely express anger, but when you do, you vent everything that's angered you since the last time. You generally marry young and sometimes often. As a parent, you want your child to be affectionate, polite and neat. You're easy-going and your threat of discipline is rarely carried out: your child may take advantage of that. As a child, you like to use your charm to your own advantage, but you're extremely pleasant and friendly. You don't need much discipline and you're mannered and affable. Your parents must encourage you to make your own decisions, work steady and develop your artistic talent.
KEYWORDS: harmoniously, together, cooperatively
KEY PHRASE: I analyze.

Sun in Scorpio: A battle must be fought between the personality and the soul: the personality must die. Scorpio deals with basic transformation on all levels-- transfiguration and resurrection must take place. You're either a devil or an angel-- there's no in-between. It's not easy to know you-- you're very reserved and secretive and much lies hidden beneath the surface. You have tremendous power that's not apparent to the average person. In your family circle, that strength can become vindictiveness, jealousy and resentment. Your strong, quiet exterior commands respect from those you meet, but you must earn it from those you're close to. Your power is even greater if used to heal and bless others and not for yourself. You have an extremely strong sense of purpose and will fight any odds to fulfill it. If you properly channel your energy, you have tremendous staying power and will see things through to the end, regardless of self-sacrifice required. You have a strong will, persistence and a desire to improve the status quo. You despise weakness, especially in yourself. You don't deal with life superficially and are passionate about the things you believe in. The more highly evolved Scorpians are defenders of justice even in the face of death. You tend to be supercritical and pass judgment on others. You're very stubborn, causing difficulties in relationships-- you must learn steadiness and stability. You prefer to be alone rather than accept the responsibility of a relationship. Until you learn cooperation and outgoingness, any relationship will be unhappy. You have great personal magnetism and are exciting, dynamic, fascinating and mysterious. Your very powerful emotions and passions find a positive outlet in sex as long as you control your tendency to jealousy. Your tremendous pride won't allow your emotions to show and you'd rather stay silent than to express your ideas and feelings without complete honesty. You're generous, compassionate and willing to help others-- your goals are reached by service, purity, compassion and humility. You tend to over-indulge yourself in work and play and you have the power to soar above worldly antagonisms. You hate dull occupations and are happiest in a job you feel is really important. You're quick to adapt to turning points in your life and have remarkable physical recuperative powers. You have good reasoning, keen perception and an analytical mind that can penetrate to the root of any problem. You're very intuitive and usually right, enabling you to gain secret and inner thoughts from others. You often analyze yourself and your reactions instead of the problem causing self-resentment and jealousy that bursts out unexpectedly. You like discipline and are a hard worker, so you usually succeed at what you attempt. You have an innate understanding of death so you don't fear it. As a parent, you tend to be over-demanding and too strict. You enjoy the company of your children but, unless you revise your ideas on controversial and contemporary issues, you won't easily bridge the generation gap. As a child, you must be kept busy and allowed plenty of outlets for your high-powered emotional energy or you may become aggressive or even a bully. Your tendency to be secretive should be given positive outlets, like planing surprise parties. Your tendency to be jealous of siblings should be countered by information and participation. You should learn to swim at an early age.
KEYWORDS: passionately, intensively, secretively
KEY PHRASE: I desire.

Sun in Sagittarius: You're friendly, outgoing, optimistic, energetic, extroverted, honest, straightforward, just and generous. You love sports and gambling and are willing to take a chance on just about anything. Independence and freedom are a must or you feel claustrophobic both physically and emotionally. If your partner in any relationship is jealous or over-possessive, it'll drive you away. You're apt to be quite superficial, careless, unconventional and over-pleased with the sense of excitement in your youth. In the middle of your life, you begin to look for your spiritual self and philosophies you can agree with. You want to live "in the future" and don't care about tradition or the past. You love to travel to new horizons mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally. You explore subjects unknown to you, especially languages, and store the knowledge for later use. You have formidable intellectual potential once your mind is trained and disciplined. You're best at dealing with old problems along new lines. The challenge grips you more than the problem or the solution. You achieve your goals through positive thinking. Even if you're uneducated, you are at home with abstract ideas, principles and beliefs. You're a serious thinker, but often jump to conclusions before all the facts are known. You understand civilization is a manifestation of man's thinking and motivation. You're innate understanding of people makes you a good counselor, minister, etc., but tact is a needed virtue since you have unerring ability to hit the other's weak spot with verbal arrows. You're concerned with your own and society's well-being, but usually follow society's standards-- if they're narrow-minded, you will be too. You're idealistic, but may be a religious fanatic or blind adherent to dogmatic creeds if you're unevolved. Spiritual laws and ethics supersede personality likes and wants. You tell the unedited, unfiltered truth, for good or for bad. Since you understand current trends, you can almost predict the future. Your glib tongue and easy-going manner make you a good salesman (or con man), but it's deceptive. Your lack of organization and discipline as well as a tendency to procrastinate tend to take a toll on your nerves. You get tired when you become bored and need more than average physical exercise. Under anxiety, you tend to get depressed. Women tend to be too aggressive in relationships with men, want to run the show, admire very masculine men, are not fond of domestic tasks, are highly independent, yet are charming and agreeable mates. You're very versatile and like to be doing several things at once, often holding down two jobs. You continually raise your goals even before you reach your original goals, and you always learn from your mistakes-- eventually. You may overlook details but have good planning ability overall. Details-- or anything else for that matter don't worry you. You may be blindly optimistic, although help always seems to arrive when needed. You expand your ego through creativity and may have moralistic tendencies, particularly in your old age. You need a lively and inventive sex life and your partner's mind is as important as the body-- you can't settle into an emotional relationship in which you must make allowances for intellectual differences. As a parent, your natural optimism bolsters your faith in your children. Parenthood becomes a challenge. You may expect too much from your children intellectually, but you'll have great fun with your kids and they'll learn as much at home as in school. As a child, you may be a little wild (girls will be tomboyish) and good at athletics, naturally intelligent and you don't like restrictive discipline (like being grounded.)
KEYWORDS: widely, freely, exploratively, directly
KEY PHRASE: I see. (I understand.)

Sun in Capricorn: There are two basic types of Capricorn: one who is not deterred by obstacles and continuously climbs the ladder of success, never voluntarily taking a step backwards and the other who, although he tries, never quite makes it. If you're the second type, you should find a job at which you're good, which you can do in your own time, and in your own way. It's possible, but rare, for one type to become the other. All Capricorns are ambitious with a strong sense of direction and purpose and great faith in your abilities. Your self-discipline and dedication to duty and willingness to work for what you want means you usually succeed, even if only in a limited sense. You are serious, responsible, practical, rational and have excellent reasoning ability. You find practical solutions to difficult problems. You have excellent intuition and are steady and sure of yourself. Self-esteem is very important to you. You have a persistent feeling that you have some goal to reach or some purpose to fulfill. Everything must be sensible and practical. Your affairs at work and home must be orderly, enabling you to plan ahead in detail. Your knowledge of practical affairs is based on experience-- yours and others'-- and you use that knowledge to achieve success (which for you equates to material security). You want money because you fear being dependent on others in your old age. Your need for security often makes you appear stingy and greedy. Although you're socially oriented, you appear somber and reserved in initial contacts with others. Once you give your trust, you're a loyal and steadfast friend. You're often much nicer to your friends than to your family. You find human relationships very difficult, especially in intimate circumstances, and may miss many human elements of life by spending much energy on career and prestige. You find it difficult to relate to the emotional freedom and permissiveness of others. You often fail to consider others' right to have their own feelings and freedom. You have leadership ability, humility, a great sense of humor and can bear considerable hardship if circumstances require it. Then you tend to feel the world owes you for what you've contributed. Your weaknesses lead to false pride and the feeling you know what's best for others. Tradition, home, mother and past are important to you. (Males tend to cling to their mothers even after marriage.) As a child, you may have difficulty with your health. You are athletic but not really a team player. You're a voracious reader. As a parent, preoccupation with a child's success can get out of hand. You may tend to dominate your child(ren) and must always be ready with praise for them. As a mother, you shouldn't go back to work while your kids are young or a lack of affection may develop.
KEYWORDS: ambition, conservatism, conscientiousness, organization, prudently, calculatedly, aspiringly
KEY PHRASE: I use.

Sun in Aquarius (Detriment): This is the sign of spiritual rebirth. You're a mental pioneer, a forward thinker who looks to the future and not the past. Your aim is to express useful knowledge. You have a very original streak-- your thinking is often before its time. Your mind is scientifically oriented and you do well in a science-related field or research since you approach problems analytically. Your outlook is modern even though you're fixed in opinions and not easily persuaded even when you're wrong. You approach life intellectually and don't un-erstand those who are emotionally oriented. You can't be pushed into doing anything you don't want to do. You're more emotionally involved with your work than with people and work occupies most of your time and money. You have a coldness and detachment that repels others if you're unevloved, but otherwise you're very magnanimous. If you marry, there may be trouble due to your strong will that brooks no interference as well as a strong need to be independent and free. If you find someone you really love, your marriage will be extremely stable since you're very faithful and loyal even if you're dispassionate. Your home is important to you as a status symbol. You're outgoing, impersonally friendly and appear very confident, but underlying anxiety can make you physically ill. As a rebel and individualist (who must go and learn your own way) you dislike any sort of restraint. You're independent, imaginative, creative and inventive: if you're evolved, you have genius ability, otherwise you can be mentally cruel, sadistic, and totally lacking in love and mercy. Your independence is so important to you that you're willing to sacrifice almost anything, including an intimate relationship. Friendship and companionship are extremely important to you as long as it doesn't interfere with your freedom. Your friends will have unswerving loyalty and you operate as equal among equal. You get security from being in others' company and there's a real enjoyment you feel in meeting new people and exchanging ideas. Physically, you have a strong body but dislike manual labor. You're able to be a good leader and organizer if you apply yourself, but in a position of authority, you tend to be critical and demanding. You must learn to focus the power you have in order to accomplish anything. You are ready and willing to blaze new trails with new ideas, inventions and procedures, and, if you're evolved, you can make a lasting contribution to the world. You're kind, friendly, rather distant and frequently unpredictable and unconventional. You can be rebellious and perverse if you don't handle your freedom and individuality in a proper way. You tend to have two very distinct types of friends-- one conservative and the other bohemian. Others' opinions of you or your lifestyle does not phase you. You're always ready to help others at a moment's notice, but you always remain personally detached. You are determined and stubborn with an eccentric temper, often becoming annoyed when others don't understand you. You dislike "imitations" and hypocrisy. You long for material possessions, but aren't greedy. Women tend to exaggerate their problems, but their charm and brightness make them very attractive. As a parent, you want your child to be independent. You support the most modern educational techniques but may attempt to force an "old head" in your child's young shoulders. You'll freely and honestly discuss controversial questions, so there probably won't be too much of a generation gap and you should have no problem keeping close contact with your children, although you may never feel close to them. As a child, you're clever and should be encouraged to develop your natural inventiveness, especially in areas related to chemistry and astronomy and you may play an unusual musical instrument. As a youngster, you're quick to learn but may be erratic.
KEYWORDS: independently, humanely, impersonally, creatively

Sun in Pisces: Your soul must become the master of your personality or you suffer deeply and you must make that choice. You're moody, introspective, hard to understand, and your emotions run strong and deep. You want to escape reality by entering a dream world where you can forget yourself. You need to be alone every so often in order to maintain balance, but don't try this escape using drugs or alcohol: a positive escape route is through art. You have a deep love of music and art and can be a fine musician. You put stress and strain on your body because you never feel you've done enough and often overwork-- you need to give your body more attention. When the connection between your Higher and lower selves is made, you gain true freedom and can achieve great things. If not, you often turn to drugs or alcohol or become prey to obsessing entities. You're very psychically sensitive and intuitive with a great sense of compassion, sacrificing yourself for the redemption of the world. You'd do great in any medical field, especially a doctor. You have a deeply hidden inner pride, making it hard to acknowledge your inferiority complex. You completely surrender yourself to whatever stream you're in, indicative of trying to lose your feeling of separateness. You're very sensitive, extremely unworldly, impractical and extremely susceptible to outside influences. You can be very self-indulgent and wallow in your senses: you must overcome your sensual response to life. You have a naturally weak will and are indecisive: you must learn to stand alone and face the unknown with simple faith. You may be scared and confused by the depth and strength of your emotions, which have a drastic duality, often making you unable to make up your mind. It's not easy for you to conform-- you can't cope with discipline and routine and won't regiment your own life. Your home is often in chaos. Many ideas you have are often impractical due to your overactive imagination. You have a natural kindness, sympathy, charm, sentimentality and sense of humor that often opens doors of opportunity. You need a hero or source of inspiration to fulfill your need to identify with others. You're likely to be very receptive to religion, giving you the faith necessary to maintain your vitality and sense of personal significance. You find it difficult to cope with the practical aspects of marriage, often being carried away by your emotions and blind to all "defects" in those you trust and love. You're a wonderful lover with a flair for the romantic. You're not combative, preferring to suffer rather than fight for your rights. However, you can be stubborn and hard to reason with. If your patience is exhausted, you can flare up and be almost impossible to calm down. You often get into the habit of allowing things to "drift", but due to Piscean duality, you can be efficient and exact. You're generally not ambitious for material things, but may appear so early in life: you know that to find yourself, you must have no financial worries. You must learn to be more careful with your own and others' possessions. You tend to be fatalistic but must realize that your own destiny is of your own making. As a parent, you find it difficult to insist on any type of discipline or correction so your children are often spoiled. Although you give them a splendid artistic background, you must make sure they don't copy your negative habits. As a child, you're not happy at a strict or overly academic school, you dislike facts (except for history) and you're good at languages.
KEYWORDS: nebulously, impressionably, other-worldly
KEY PHRASE: I believe.
