To Rick Astrology interpretation
 

Hi Rick

I felt like looking at your chart, I asume that you were born around 15.15 pm on 26.08.1971 somewhere in California. So this may be different but I thought to show you the basic interpretation of planets in sidereal zodiac sign from my Canopus program. I wonder what you think reading this interpretation as base of your personality potential.

Planets in Signs (Sidereal Zodiac - True Ayanamsa):

Sun in Leo:
The foremost word for Sun in Leo is FIRE, since Leo is a fire sign,
and is ruled by the Sun, planet of fire and creative power. The Sun
is said to be in dignity in this sign. The Sun stands for the heart
of the person - the individuality - which can be full of light and
Life, warmth, radiance. The sunny, shining heart qualities can
manifest in generosity and magnanimity.
There can be a strong sense of purpose and of honour, qualities
associated with the Sun. The native is likely to be sincere and to
value truth. They can thus inspire faith in others.
The supreme organising power of the Sun can indicate the person has
leadership qualities.

Moon in Libra:
Libra, ruled by Venus, is the sign for balance and harmony, so the
Moon in this position can indicate someone who is concerned to keep
the peace, the Moon representing the flow of feelings and emotions.
There can be a kind-hearted, gentle side to the person's nature.
They may be able to see both sides of a situation - think of the
scales of the pictogram - and are therefore able to compromise in
order to reach a harmonious solution. Emotional peace is likely to
be one of their chief goals.
The Moon is a very sociable planet, and Venus is the planet of
relating, so these values together indicate that seeking out others,
especially in the form of a relationship, is going to be important
for the native.
The Moon and Venus are both related to sensuality, indicating an
especially soft, sensual nature.
The ability to appreciate things through the senses is a feature of
the Moon in this sign, so the native can love music, for example,
and appreciate textures such as in art and nature.

Mercury in Leo:
The mind, related to Mercury, can focus and concentrate, being in
Leo, a fixed sign, ruled by
the Sun, which relates to direction.
The fixed nature of the sign also indicates persistence. The mind
gains a certain stability in this position, so the person may at
times be slow to make up their mind, but once made up it can be
steady and unwavering.
The Sun has a natural authority, and Mercury likes to speak; so the
combination can indicate a confidence when it comes to voicing
opinions. In any communications the person can convey an
authoritative tone.
The Sun is also related to organising power, purpose, and
enthusiasm, so Mercury here can make for good organisational skills
and leadership qualities.
The Sun will-power and confidence, combined with the Mercury mind,
can indicate problem-solving abilities.
Mercury is said to be in its fall in this sign, so its power may not
reach its full potential, according to the astrological tradition.

Venus in Leo:
In the shining sign of Leo, Venus bestows a warm-hearted, sunny
disposition.
The values of the Sun (ruler of Leo) and of Venus, planet of love,
beauty and harmony, combine together harmoniously.
The nobility of the Sun and the giving nature of Venus indicates an
open, generous, loyal, magnanimous temperament.
These are the 2 planets of love: the Sun as in love for God and
Self-love, and Venus as in ALL loves.

Mars in Capricorn:
Mars, planet of will, drive and direction, is in a sign ruled by
Saturn, planet of structure.
The Mars impetuosity is here curbed by Saturn, so there is likely to
be planning and calculation before undertaking action too hastily.
The qualities of Mars and Saturn can combine to give a
self-controlled, disciplined person who can take and give orders.
They can have the drive and energy of Mars plus the persistence of
Saturn. They can be suited to carrying positions of responsibility,
for the Mars action power is backed by the Saturn caution and
reliability. Extremely efficient, they can have the ability to pay
attention to detail (a great Saturn quality) plus the drive to carry
out the endeavour.
There can be great strength of character, with strong will power and
Saturn sincerity and loyalty.
Capricorn is noted for ambition. With Mars here the person could be
unstinting with his or her energy in a persistent effort to achieve
their goals. And since Saturn is the master of time, they can be
more conscious of long-term goals than most.
According to the astrological tradition, Mars is said to be 'in
exaltation' in this sign which complements its nature.

Jupiter in Scorpio:
Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Pluto, two planets of fire and
intensity. Jupiter's symbolism includes expansion, so altogether
there is an amplification of Scorpio's traits of magnetism and
intensity. It is a powerful position. The person can have tremendous
resources, will and magnetism.
Jupiter in the sign ruled by Pluto, lord of the underworld, has the
ability to expand into the mysterious, hidden side of things. This
can have a spiritual or a material focus, since Pluto rules over
money and sex, as well as death and transformation.

Saturn in Taurus:
The planet with strong earth power in an earth sign gives the Saturn
qualities added weight, emphasising qualities such as determination,
steadiness, perseverance, common sense.
The person can feel comfortable when there is careful planning to
support any ventures. Thus they can be economical, good money
managers and able to give practical advice.
Taurus is ruled by Venus, planet of love and harmony, so Saturn here
can indicate loyalty and sincerity in love and in relationships.

Uranus in Virgo:
Where Uranus is by nature super-fast and a sudden mover, Virgo is
associated with patience and analysis, so a certain discipline is
brought to bear on Uranus in this position. This may serve to
structure ideas and make them of practical use. But to see how
Uranus operates for the person it is necessary to look at aspects to
Uranus in the chart. In any case, Uranus takes so long to move
through a sign that it is not realistic to judge its influence here
on one individual.
Because Virgo is related to health and hygiene, there can be new
ways (Uranus) of dealing with health, science, technology, industry,
ecology, etc.

Neptune in Scorpio:
It takes Neptune years to move through one sign of the zodiac, which
indicates that it is more fitting to look at its effects here for
all those people born during this time, rather than to look at
features as applying to one individual.
In the sign ruled by Pluto, planet of sex and magnetism, Neptune,
the planet related to dissolving, can indicate a desire to dissolve
through the sexual experience, or a wish to explore the dissolving
of personal boundaries through union with another. There can be a
depth of emotional and sexual intensity which wants to be explored.
There can be a fascination with the deepest mysteries of Neptune,
the mystic, and Pluto, lord of the underworld.

Pluto in Virgo:
As Pluto, planet of sex, death and regeneration, moves through the
zodiac, it spends many years in each sign. So this position pertains
to many people rather than one individual.
In Virgo, the sign of purity, it can suggest the destruction of what
remains of puritanical attitudes in and modes of sexual behaviour.

North Node in Capricorn and South Node in Cancer:
The South Node in Cancer is in favour of past lives in which
softness, receptivity, sensitivity, played an important part. Having
perhaps led a sheltered existence or been nurtured in such a way
that the Moon qualities of feeling and imagination could be
fostered, there can be a vulnerability reminiscent of a child.
However, with the North Node in the sign ruled by Saturn, it can
suggest that one of the essential lessons of this life is to learn
the Saturnian values – rigour, precision, method, caution,
punctuality, self-discipline, integrity. It is by paying attention
to details, respecting deadlines and fulfilling one's commitments
and obligations, that the native will be able to realise the full
potential of their chart. If the native does not incarnate the
Saturn qualities, all the promises of the chart may just remain on
the level of wishful thinking.

And here is interpretation in Sidereal of my natal planets:
Planets in Signs (Sidereal Zodiac - True Ayanamsa):

Sun in Leo:
The foremost word for Sun in Leo is FIRE, since Leo is a fire sign,
and is ruled by the Sun, planet of fire and creative power. The Sun
is said to be in dignity in this sign. The Sun stands for the heart
of the person - the individuality - which can be full of light and
Life, warmth, radiance. The sunny, shining heart qualities can
manifest in generosity and magnanimity.
There can be a strong sense of purpose and of honour, qualities
associated with the Sun. The native is likely to be sincere and to
value truth. They can thus inspire faith in others.
The supreme organising power of the Sun can indicate the person has
leadership qualities.

Moon in Pisces:
The fertile imagination of the Moon in this sign ruled by Neptune,
planet of dreams and illusion, can indicate a strong dream life -
waking as well as sleeping.
The highly impressionable field created by this position can
indicate the person is easily influenced, but their impressions may
not last.
The emotions and feelings, domain of the Moon, can be particularly
strong in this watery position, indicating great sensitivity and
compassion. They are likely to be gentle and kind, and can also be
romantic and sentimental. They can have an affinity with music,
poetry and art.
As well as being psychic, if the Moon can be lived at a high enough
level, the influence of Neptune can indicate great devotion and
inspiration, with an ability to surrender to higher levels of
experience.

Mercury in Cancer:
The combination of the Mercury mind with the reflective quality of
the Moon is in favour of an especially retentive memory.
The Moon, ruler of Cancer, is related to sensitivity and empathy.
This can have a positive effect on the Mercury mind, in that sense
that the person can take care with the words they utter, being
sensitive of the impression they may make on others.
There can be an easy way with words, with Mercury's flexibility and
the flow of the Moon. The very plastic nature of this position can
indicate a strong intuition and imagination, as well as psychic
abilities.
The influence of the watery Moon on the adaptable Mercury mind is to
modify it in the direction of making the thinking more reflective
and subjective.

Venus in Cancer:
A position for sensitivity and perhaps romance. This is because
Venus, the planet of love, is in the sign ruled by the Moon, which
signifies emotions and feelings.
In relating to others, which is the province of Venus, the person
can be sympathetic and caring.
There can, however, be fluctuating moods, due to the unpredictable
nature of the Moon.
By combining the symbology of Venus and the Moon, one can say that
the person's affection could easily be put into their domestic or
home life; or that they may seek affection within their family or
feel valued when there is a loving home.
Expressing affection is not difficult for them.
A popular reading of Venus in Cancer would say that the native is
likely to show a love for cooking creatively, and also to love
feeding and nurturing others.
They can be protective towards those they love and they feel the
need for being nurtured and loved even more than other people do.
There is great yin power with Venus, planet of the lover, in the
sign ruled by the mother (the Moon) - Venus and Moon are the most
yin among the family of planets. This can manifest as dependence and
a need for emotional support from others. But it can also indicate a
great capacity for receptivity and opening.

Mars in Cancer:
In this sign Mars is 'in its fall', meaning its nature can be
restricted due to the influence of the sign. Since Mars is a fiery
planet and is in the sign of sensitivity, emotions and feelings
(ruled by the Moon), there is clearly a lack of harmony - fire and
water are not complementary.
The Mars drive may be directed into the sphere of imagination and
sensitivity.
There is fire in the stomach (the Moon rules the digestive system),
which can mean at times digestion is disrupted, in particular if
emotions (the Moon) are not able to flow freely.
A Mars in Cancer can also be extremely cuddly and sensual.
The combined values of Mars and Cancer also suggest that the Mars
drive can be put into the home, putting energy into it, and
nurturing oneself through creating a special space to live in.

Jupiter in Taurus:
The qualities related to Jupiter include expansiveness, generosity,
and joviality. These qualities can flow harmoniously with Jupiter in
Taurus, ruled by Venus, planet of love and beauty. The native is
likely to enjoy relating to others and to show good-natured,
Jupiterian qualities in their relationship.
The fact that Taurus is an earth sign gives a practical side to the
native. It can also mean that material possessions are important to
them, even though they can have a very philosophical attitude to
life. In keeping with the nature of Venus, the native can love
beautiful things.

Saturn in Libra:
The astrological tradition calls this position of Saturn 'exalted',
meaning Saturn's energy is able to be expressed positively.
Saturn is to do with sincerity and structure; Venus, ruler of Libra,
with harmony and love. So the native can be sincere in love, and
want to have a structured relationship - like marriage, for example.
(But look at other aspects in the chart, which may well outweigh
this influence, especially since Saturn moves very slowly through
the signs.)
Since Saturn is associated with time, relationships can grow in
harmony with the passage of time.

Uranus in Gemini:
Uranus is a slow-moving planet, staying in one sign for years, so it
is appropriate to consider these influences affecting masses of
people rather than one individual.
Planet of sudden changes and super-fast intelligence, Uranus is very
much at home here in the sign ruled by Mercury, planet of the mind.
Since Uranus is the planet of esotericism, the mind can be
interested in a wide range of esoteric literature. The versatile
Mercury mind can have the freedom to move extraordinarily fast, with
flashes of Uranus genius and a lightning grasp of new concepts and
ideas. An original thinker, this is a position for pioneering in the
fields of science, electronics and communications.

Neptune in Virgo:
It can be more relevant to look at the effects of Neptune here in a
collective rather than an individual sense, since this planet
travels so slowly through a sign.
In Virgo, the sign commonly associated with purity, Neptune, planet
of idealism and selflessness, can be related to ideals of service
and ways of serving others rather than oneself.
Since Mercury, a planet to do with the mind, is the ruler of Virgo,
there can be intellectual ideals and inspired thinking. Neptune here
is 'in dishonour' - meaning it is in a sign opposite to the one it
rules - so its effects are said to be weakened. This may not mean
very much in the chart of one individual, however, unless Neptune is
afflicted through its aspects.

Pluto in Leo:
Pluto, planet of transformations in the unconscious, takes many
years to traverse one sign of the zodiac. This position is thus more
relevant to a generation of people than to one individual.
Leo is ruled by the Sun, which is related to the individuality, the
core of a person, the little ego and the Higher Self. By combining
the symbology of Sun and Pluto, it can suggest transformation
processes from little ego to Higher Self.

North Node in Capricorn and South Node in Cancer:
The South Node in Cancer is in favour of past lives in which
softness, receptivity, sensitivity, played an important part. Having
perhaps led a sheltered existence or been nurtured in such a way
that the Moon qualities of feeling and imagination could be
fostered, there can be a vulnerability reminiscent of a child.
However, with the North Node in the sign ruled by Saturn, it can
suggest that one of the essential lessons of this life is to learn
the Saturnian values – rigour, precision, method, caution,
punctuality, self-discipline, integrity. It is by paying attention
to details, respecting deadlines and fulfilling one's commitments
and obligations, that the native will be able to realise the full
potential of their chart. If the native does not incarnate the
Saturn qualities, all the promises of the chart may just remain on
the level of wishful thinking.

See what you think of this sidereal interpretation of planetary positions when Shirley MacLaine was born on 24 04 1934 Richmond Virginia according to Google search. I don't know the time when she was born. Do you see what I see?

Planets in Signs (Sidereal Zodiac - True Ayanamsa):

Sun in Aries:
The Sun relates to one's purpose and deep inner motivation; Mars
(ruler of Aries) is to do with drive and direction. So the person
can have strong will-power and motivation, and a keen sense of their
individuality.
The Sun is exalted in Aries. The Sun and Mars being 2 planets of
fire, this position can indicate fiery qualities such as strong
desires, ambition, initiative, boldness, enthusiasm, dynamism,
assertiveness, and impulsiveness. The person can have the ability to
make decisions unhesitatingly. This position can give a 'crusader'
feeling - courageous, noble, ready to take action on someone else's
behalf.
There is also likely to be a strong vitality and libido.
Of course, none of this is absolute. Other factors in the chart must
be taken into account - especially aspects to the Sun and Mars.

Moon in Leo:
The Moon is in the sign of the zodiac that is ruled by the Sun. The
2 luminaries, as they are called in astrology, together indicate a
certain harmony. The Moon's yin inclination to wait and attract is
balanced by the Sun's power of will and vital force. The Moon
feelings can blossom in the Sun's radiating warmth.
The Sun is the creative spark, the Moon the planet of fecundation.
So the Moon can serve to fertilise all the qualities inherent in the
Sun planetary force, bringing confidence, joy, hope, a sense of
truth to the person. This is a position for a sunny disposition, a
generous and kind-hearted nature, with sympathy and warmth. There
can be self-confidence and leadership skills.
The Moon, planet of imagination, in the sign ruled by the Sun, the
creative force, brings an imaginative and creative flair to the
personality.

Mercury in Pisces:
Mercury is in the sign opposite one it naturally rules, so it is
said to be 'in dishonour', and its effects negative.
However, in Pisces, the sign of water, Mercury, planet of the mind,
can indicate great mobility and fluidity in the thinking processes.
There can be a way of absorbing facts rather than using a strictly
logical, step-by-step approach. At times, this impressionablility
can blur the sharpness of mental processes.
Rather than a strictly rational and practical approach to thinking,
the person can rely more than most on their intuition. Communication
can go on at different levels, with an ability to sense the more
subtle layers of consciousness involved. The native can thus have
psychic and telepathic abilities. The emotional state is likely to
be very fluid and changeable, since Pisces is a mutable and water
sign. The thinking processes can easily be influenced by the
emotional state, which at times may manifest in uncertainty and even
confusion.
Neptune, ruler of Pisces, is to do with sensitivity, dreams and
imagination. The person can have a rich dream life, with possibly an
interest in poetry and fantasy.
In the sign of merging with the Divine, Mercury can be inclined to
compassion and a spirituality of a high level.

Venus in Aquarius:
Venus, planet of love and relating, in the sign ruled by Uranus, is
going to be influenced by Uranus qualities of independence and
originality. Thus the person can be drawn to partners who display
these tendencies. They can also express their affection in
unconventional ways.
Since Uranus is related to sudden changes, it can mean sudden
attractions and dislikes: love at first sight, for example. These
attractions can be intense.
Since Uranus values include
There is a natural movement towards relating to many people.
(Uranus' values relate to mankind as a whole.)
The person is likely to establish their own set of values, probably
highly original and based on their own sense of truth. They can
refuse to be limited by society's rules when it comes to matters of
the heart.
They can also change their value system unexpectedly.
People with an interest in the arts can be drawn to modern,
unconventional forms.

Mars in Aries:
Mars in its own sign (Mars is the ruler of Aries) means all the
qualities of Mars will be emphasised and sharpened: energy, drive,
initiative, courage, will power, competitiveness, and also possibly
a certain degree of impulsiveness, or even impatience. The person
has the ability to initiate things and draw enthusiasm from others.
This configuration is also in favour of an independent nature, and
of strong sexual desire.
Because Mars is in its own sign it is said to be 'in honour' or 'in
dignity', signifying that this planetary force can be expressed
freely.

Jupiter in Virgo:
Since Jupiter is here in a sign opposite one it naturally rules, it
is considered by the astrological tradition to be 'in dishonour' -
indicating its effects are weakened.
Jupiter is the planet of expansion. In this sign its tendency to
excess is somewhat curbed by the influence of Virgo, which brings a
certain caution. Since Jupiter can easily overlook details, this
position can serve to encourage discernment and attention to detail.
The qualities of Jupiter - such as high ideals, philosophical
concerns, can find practical application in this earth sign.

Saturn in Aquarius:
Saturn is the planet of limits and structure, and Uranus, a co-ruler
of Aquarius, is the planet of originality and independence. The two
planetary forces combine together well (Saturn being one of the
rulers of Aquarius, it is here said to be 'in honour'), the Uranus
influence helping to explode the Saturn limits. Saturn is in favour
of practical application of progressive ideas (Uranus).
Where Saturn is concerned primarily with oneself, Uranus is to do
with a much greater vision and humanitarian ideals. So the person
can take a serious interest in the affairs of humanity as a whole.
However, this is not by any means absolute. Saturn takes two and a
half years, more or less, to pass through Aquarius (as with any
sign), so unless Uranus is strongly aspected in the chart, Saturn in
Aquarius may have little overall influence.

Uranus in Aries:
Uranus can be very much at home with the fire of this sign.
Since Mars is the ruler of Aries there is going to be fiery impulse
behind the Uranus qualities - fast-moving, independent and original.
This can result in highly independent, even revolutionary
tendencies, the ability to blaze new trails and initiate reforms.
The Uranus inclination to change direction suddenly is emphasised.
Ingenious and resourceful, the person can be inventive, talented
with mechanical and electronic gear and technology.
Uranus is a slow-moving planet, so it stays in this sign for a
number of years. These comments will therefore apply more to all
those born during these years, than to an individual.

Neptune in Leo:
Since Neptune takes years to travel through a sign, it is more
fitting to consider its influence in Leo for the collectivity rather
than for one individual.
In this position the sensitivity and compassion of Neptune go well
with the heart qualities related to the Sun (ruler of Leo).The Sun
adds warmth to this rather cold planet, making for a warm heart,
compassionate nature and creative inspiration. The mystic, spiritual
nature of Neptune can be radiated by the light of the Self.

Pluto in Gemini:
Pluto works away at the deepest to destroy what exists so that new
forms can arise. Gemini is ruled by Mercury, planet of the mind,
which can suggest a destruction of patterns of thought. The strictly
analytical and logical ways of thinking are to be replaced, perhaps
by the Uranus influence, (a higher octave of Mercury) which can take
thinking to rarer heights.

North Node in Capricorn and South Node in Cancer:
The South Node in Cancer is in favour of past lives in which
softness, receptivity, sensitivity, played an important part. Having
perhaps led a sheltered existence or been nurtured in such a way
that the Moon qualities of feeling and imagination could be
fostered, there can be a vulnerability reminiscent of a child.
However, with the North Node in the sign ruled by Saturn, it can
suggest that one of the essential lessons of this life is to learn
the Saturnian values – rigour, precision, method, caution,
punctuality, self-discipline, integrity. It is by paying attention
to details, respecting deadlines and fulfilling one's commitments
and obligations, that the native will be able to realise the full
potential of their chart. If the native does not incarnate the
Saturn qualities, all the promises of the chart may just remain on
the level of wishful thinking.

Hi Basia,

I was born in Mineola, NY (10 minutes east of NYC) on 8/26/71 at 4:52PM (-5GMT)

Even though I do not "read" the Vedic language very well, I would say that there is a lot there in the interpretation that resonates with me.

I haven't looked at Shirley's chart in any depth. But it is interesting to me that we share the same nodes, but in different house positions.

Though our outer planets are different, you and I have the same rising and Sun, and the nodes are almost exactly together again (18.5 years I think it is for the metatonic cycle to return)


cheers,

Rick

Hi Rick

I never looked Shirley chart till yesterday, but when I read this interpretation I thought it was spot on. Her strong personality the passions and even her relationships it explained well I think.

Do you know the time when Shirley was born this would helped me to see which houses the planets were. Because that chart is just like the base for this life experience the progressed shows our journey now.

I looked in Shirley progressed and she had this year progressed Sun & Moon conjunction in Gemini sidereal zodiac.So I see this year being like a New Moon opening a new chapter. HER progressed Jupiter was conjunction Part of Fortune so she got the AFI award. For next 5-6 years she will probably write many more books, that's what I see.

I also saw that her natal Moon conjunct your and my Sun, and she has the same Nodes as we have same Karma of past and future.

I know from my past life experience that I was the power behind my than husband who was well known in Europe 200 years ago. I have seen many parts from that life. I read some books about them too but no one knew that he was humiliating me as his wife when his mistresses were sitting in my place at the table and I was made to seat and eat with them.

That lifetime my soul learned about power, prestige and material possessions and how you can loose it all. Interesting that after that lifetime my soul next incarnation was an American Indian girl, with no possessions of material value and since no need to learn that aspect.

The North Node in my first house is to be independent of relationships and become my own power. I think I have learned this but still evolve my little ego into the higher self.

I will make your chart and see your progressed if you like I can send you that interpretation in email, just send me note to barbara_wolak@hotmail.com
L & L Basia
