Astrological Portrait

Introduction

The purpose of this report is to describe your psychological portrait and to highlight the mostfundamental features on the personal area. The report begins with the analysis of your planetarydominants and outlines your personality's general traits before going into further detail. Minordominants are analysed at the end of Annex 1, for purposes of clarity. Your report then delineates thevarious facets of your personality:

In general, even when relationships are not involved, we express ourselves and we feel according to ourcharacter and our personal motivations: this is indicated by the Ascendant and the Sun sign which bothgive details on the way we function. They shed a tremendously important light which allows to figure outyour personality. Here, we describe your Sun sign (your inner self), your Ascendant (your behaviour asseen by others), and the ruler of the Ascendant (interesting additional pieces of information about thestyle of your personality). These descriptions alone cover nearly a third or a half of your psychologicalsignature, depending on your natal chart characteristics.

Then, we address your sensitivity, or in other words, the way you receive things and how you expressyour emotions ; it works as a constant filter for all your exchanges, even when it becomes a moresecondary element in your amorous relationship, because at that moment, affectivity prevails. Sensitivityis the way you perceive things, it is your radar, your daily mood, and at the same time, it indicates howyou react to your entourage, on a daily basis. It is what others immediately see of you. In the secondparagraph, we explain in which areas of life your sensitivity and your emotions are strongest, therefore,where you are most vulnerable.

After this, it is your affectivity, the way you love and how you charm, that comes into play as soon as youfall in love: the first part indicates its basic structure or its main form. The second part describes theareas where it is best expressed and how you display it, according to your personality.

A third fundamental area deals with your mode of action and your sexuality: how you behave, how youmanage to obtain what you want, what kind of desires you have. There are twelve possibilities, verydifferent from one another. The study discloses the specific one that applies to you. In the secondparagraph, we explain in which life areas you may most efficiently take advantage of your capacity foraction and for conquest.

Your ways of communicating and of thinking are obviously among the major elements that must beintegrated into the delineation and the description of your personality. Indeed, they influence your

general behaviour and may modify or enhance the image your project (for instance, extraversion may“compensate” a weak affectivity, but a huge number of cases are possible). An additional chapterindicates the favourite areas where you enjoy communicating, thinking and meeting with people.

Besides, we analyze an even more personal aspect that is important to define and understand what mayoccur within your couple: each of us have a centre of interest, a privileged manner to be fulfilled or toachieve our destiny; this main motivation is indicated by the positions of your Sun and your chart ruler inthe astrological houses and we provide you with its detailed description.

A natal chart contains the potential for specific fulfilment and a whole range of assets, protections andqualities. How does the lucky factor manifest in your personality? In which area can you best exploityour qualities? The answers are precisely revealed to you in this chapter.

On the other hand, we all feel in us a part of vulnerability, doubts and fears. How does this part ofsolemnity or serious side play out? How is it possible to handle it in order to evolve and to get rid ofuseless elements? All this information is provided to you in these two paragraphs.

Then, you can discover three additional traits of your personality that must be considered as secondaryones. They deal with your predispositions, which means that they need to be triggered by external eventsbecause they are not influenced by your will; let's call it a part of fate. Please, bear in mind that yourdestiny can unfold only in accordance with what you are: therefore, even if they belong to your moreunconscious self, these characteristics are parts of you, definitely.

The karmic chart complements the psychological portrait or natal chart. It is based on the positions ofthe Lunar Nodes, the Black Moon, and the Part of Fortune. These elements of the chart, sometimesreferred to as fictitious points, provide information about the spiritual meaning of your destiny. Owing tothe fact that we all have in us acquired knowledge and the urge to go on a quest, our life is anevolutionary journey... However, these texts must be read with great caution: this is the reason why youwill find this analysis in the Annex 2 of your report.

Meaning of StarsStars indicate the strength of the aspects. Two solid coloured stars (there are half-stars also), mean thatthe aspect is powerful enough to be noticed at the first reading.




We strongly advise that you read the paragraphs displaying less than two stars later on, after you haveabsorbed the full import of the other texts.

The yellow colour indicates a soothing and conciliating aspect, and the red colour, a dynamic and tenseaspect. The red aspects enable you to evolve, to take action, and to learn to turn your "weaknesses" intoassets through your life experiences. The yellow aspects are innate strengths on which you rely in orderto grow better with the former...




PreambleWhen interpreting a natal chart, the best method is to start gradually from general features to specificones. Thus, there is usually a plan to be followed, from the overall analysis of the chart and its structure,to the description of its different character traits.

In the first part, an overall analysis of the chart enables us to figure out the personality's main featuresand to emphasize several points that are confirmed or not in the detailed analysis: in any case, thosegeneral traits are taken into account. Human personality is an infinitely intricate entity and describing itis a complex task. Claiming to rapidly summarize it is illusory, although it does not mean that it is animpossible challenge. It is essential to read a natal chart several times in order to absorb all its differentmeanings and to grasp all this complexity. But the exercise is worthwhile.

In brief, a natal chart is composed of ten planets: two luminaries, the Sun and the Moon, threefast-moving or individual planets, Mercury, Venus and Mars, two slow-moving planets, Jupiter andSaturn, and three very slow-moving planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Additional secondary elementsare: the Lunar Nodes, the Dark Moon or Lilith, Chiron and other minor objects. They are all posited onthe Zodiac wheel consisting of twelve signs, from Aries to Pisces, and divided into twelve astrologicalhouses.

The first step is to evaluate the importance of each planet. This is what we call identifying the dominantplanets. This process obeys rules that depend on the astrologer's sensitivity and experience but it alsohas precise and steady bases: thus, we can take into account the parameters of a planet's activity (thenumber of active aspects a planet forms, the importance of each aspect according to its nature and itsexactness), angularity parameters; (proximity to the four angles, Ascendant, Midheaven, Descendant andImum Coeli or Nadir, all of them being evaluated numerically, according to the kind of angle and theplanet-angle distance) and quality parameters (rulership, exaltation, exile and fall). Finally, other criteriasuch as the rulership of the Ascendant and the Midheaven etc. are important.

These different criteria allow a planet to be highlighted and lead to useful conclusions when interpretingthe chart.

The overall chart analysis begins with the observation of three sorts of planetary distributions in thechart: Eastern or Western hemisphere, Northern or Southern hemisphere, and quadrants (North-eastern,North-western, South-eastern and South-western). These three distributions give a general tone in termsof introversion and extraversion, willpower, sociability, and behavioural predispositions.

Then, there are three additional distributions: elements (called triplicity since there are three groups ofsigns for each one) - Fire, Air, Earth and Water - corresponding to a character typology, modality (orquadruplicity with four groups of signs for each one) - Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable - and polarity (Yinand Yang).

There are three types of dominants: dominant planets, dominant signs and dominant houses. The novicethinks astrology means only "to be Aries" or sometimes, for example, "to be Aries Ascendant Virgo". Itis actually far more complex. Although the Sun and the Ascendant alone may reveal a large part of thecharacter - approximately a third or a half of your psychological signature, a person is neither "just theSun" (called the sign) nor just "the first house" (the Ascendant). Thus, a particular planet's influence




may be significantly increased; a particular sign or house may contain a group of planets that will bringnuances and sometimes weaken the role of the Ascendant, of the Sun sign etc.

Lastly, there are two other criteria: accentuations (angular, succedent and cadent) which are aclassification of astrological houses and types of decanates that are occupied (each sign is divided intothree decanates of ten degrees each). They provide some additional informations.

These general character traits must not be taken literally; they are, somehow, preparing for the chartreading. They allow to understand the second part of the analysis, which is more detailed and precise. Itfocuses on every area of the personality and provides a synthesis of all the above-mentioned parametersaccording to sound hierarchical rules.

As explained in the introduction of your Psychological Portrait report, minor dominants are analysed atthe end of Annex 1, for purposes of clarity.

Your Planetary RepartitionsEach quadrant is a combination of the four hemispheres of your birth chart and relates to a charactertypology. The Southern hemisphere – the top of your chart, around the Midheaven – is associated withextraversion, action, and public life, whereas the Northern hemisphere prompts to introversion,reflexion, and private life. The Eastern hemisphere – the left part, around the Ascendant – is linked toyour ego and your willpower, whereas the Western hemisphere indicates how other people influence you,and how flexible you are when you make a decision.

Jean-Michel, the nocturnal North-eastern quadrant, consisting of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd houses, prevails inyour chart: this sector favours self-assertion and material security to the detriment of your perception ofothers. You consider self-transformation to be a hazardous adventure. You are inclined to seek stabilityand you tend to protect yourself with your actions. Possession, acquisition but also communication,without opening up too much, are part of your deep motivations. You are rather autonomous andconstant, however it is important that you pay more attention to others, so that you can improve youroutcomes.




Your Dominant Modes and Elements

Jean-Michel, here are the graphs of your Elements and Modes, based on planets' position and angles inthe twelve signs:

Jean-Michel, Fire is dominant in your natal chart and endows you with intuition, energy, courage,self-confidence, and enthusiasm! You are inclined to be passionate, you assert your willpower, you moveforward, and come hell or high water, you achieve your dreams and your goals. The relative weakness ofthis element is the difficulty to step back or a kind of boldness that may prompt you to do foolish things.

Like the majority of Earth signs, Jean-Michel, you are efficient, concrete and not too emotional. Whatmatters to you is what you see: you judge the tree by its fruits. Your ideas keep changing, wordsdisappear, but actions and their consequences are visible and remain. Express your sensitivity, even if itmeans revealing your vulnerability. Emotions, energy and communication must not be neglected;concrete action is meaningless if it is not justified by your heart, your intellect or your enthusiasm.

Your natal chart shows a lack of the Water element, with only 6.28% instead of the average 25%. Whetheryou are aware of it or not, affective values bring about problems, for you or your close friends. In general,a lack of Water does not necessarily mean that you are unable to love as much as others do. However,you may find it difficult to express the deepness of your heart and of your feelings. In the best cases, youcome to terms with it, you adjust, you manage to show more affection or, why not, you pretend to bereally affected! In the worst cases, you get into the terrible habit of repressing these essential values andyou tend to forget that they are the basis of the richest and strongest bonds between human beings.

The twelve zodiacal signs are split up into three groups or modes, called quadruplicities, a learned wordmeaning only that these three groups include four signs. The Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable modes aremore or less represented in your natal chart, depending on planets' positions and importance, and onangles in the twelve signs.




Jean-Michel, the Cardinal mode is dominant here and indicates a predisposition to action, and moreexactly, to impulsion and to undertake: you are very keen to implement the plans you have in mind, toget things going and to create them. This is the most important aspect that inspires enthusiasm andadrenalin in you, without which you can grow weary rapidly. You are individualistic (maybe too much?)and assertive. You let others strengthen and improve the constructions which you built with fervour.

Your Dominants: Planets, Signs and HousesThe issue of dominant planets has existed since the mists of time in astrology: how nice it would be if aperson could be described with a few words and one or several planets that would represent theircharacter, without having to analyse such elements as rulerships, angularities, houses, etc!

The ten planets - the Sun throughout Pluto - are a bit like ten characters in a role-play, each one has itsown personality, its own way of acting, its own strengths and weaknesses. They actually represent aclassification into ten distinct personalities, and astrologers have always tried to associate one or severaldominant planets to a natal chart as well as dominant signs and houses.

Indeed, it is quite the same situation with signs and houses. If planets symbolize characters, signsrepresent hues - the mental, emotional and physical structures of an individual. The sign in which aplanet is posited is like a character whose features are modified according to the place where he lives. Ina chart, there are usually one, two or three highlighted signs that allow to rapidly describe its owner.

Regarding astrological houses, the principle is even simpler: the twelve houses correspond to twelvefields of life, and planets tenanting any given house increase that house's importance and highlight allrelevant life departments: it may be marriage, work, friendship etc.

Jean-Michel, here is the evaluation diagramme for your planets:




The three planets that are most highlighted in your chart are Mars, the Moon and Pluto.

Mars is one of your dominant planets and provides you with its efficient energy and enthusiasm: with apowerful Mars in your chart, action - but also will and ability to undertake - is not an empty word for you.You are active, dynamic, willing to fight, courageous, and you are never afraid to move mountains, eventhough risks are part of the adventures that you start with determination.

However, your patience is not always up to your boldness and a kind of feverishness, or even anger, cantarnish the quality of your achievements. That would be a pity since the Marsian is a champion inmatters of efficiency! Mars symbolizes display of action, conquering spirit that favours discipline andorder - beware of not being fussy - and lies at the frontier between action and brutality, between conquestand potential aggressiveness.

The Moon is one of the most important planets in your chart and endows you with a receptive, emotive,and imaginative nature. You have an innate ability to instinctively absorb atmospheres and impressionsthat nurture you, and as a result, you are often dreaming your life away rather than actually living it.

One of the consequences of your spontaneity may turn into popularity, or even fame: the crowd is aliving and complex entity, and it always appreciates truth and sincerity rather than calculation and totalself-control.

As a Lunar character, you find it difficult to control yourself, you have to deal with your moods, and youmust be careful not to stay passive in front of events: nothing is handed on a plate, and although yoursensitivity is rich, even richer than most people's, you must make a move and spare some of your energyfor... action!

With Pluto as a dominant planet in your chart, you are a magnetic and mighty predator, like the Scorpiosign ruled by this planet, who needs to exert pressure on others in order to "test" them. You are alwaysready to evolve, to risk destruction for reconstruction - including your own - to live more intensely whilstimposing your secret authority on things and on people you encounter.

You may come across as wicked, cruel or too authoritarian, but actually you only follow your instinct,




you sound people out, and you like to exert your domination simply because your vital energy is toopowerful to remain inside. You are inclined to be passionate, with hidden motivations. You aresometimes misunderstood but one of your great Plutonian assets is to go successfully through each lifeordeal with ever growing strength.

In your natal chart, the three most important signs, delineated according to the above-mentionedcriteria, are, in decreasing order of strength, Leo, Aries and Virgo. They are often prominent becauseyour Ascendant and your Sun are posited there. However, it is not always the case: it may be becausethey are occupied by a cluster of planets, by a planet near an angle other than the Midheaven and theAscendant, or because two or three planets are very active and form numerous aspects from these signs.Therefore, you partly take on the three signs' characteristics, which are somehow superimposed on yournatal chart, and all the more so if any of the signs in question is highlighted.

With Leo as a dominant sign, you naturally shine brightly. Your dignity, your sense of honour, and yourgenerosity can almost turn you into a solar mythological hero, a knight or a lord from the ancient times.People may blame you for your selfishness, your pride or your somewhat loud authority, but if you areself-confident, kind-hearted and strong-willed, it surely makes up for your little flaws, as long as theyremain moderate...

Arian blood runs through your veins! You have that enthusiasm, frankness, courage, and fastness whichusually make you so likeable in spite of your somewhat rough, naive, or violent side. As a bonus, Aries'gushing fire always gives you the impetus to make a fresh start, should you stumble or undergo lifehardship!

Virgo, associated with perfectionism, numbers and reason, is among your dominant signs: you inherit itssense of responsibility and tidiness, a clear mind, an unfailing logic, as well as a need to be useful and tofulfil your task to the best of your abilities. Obviously, people may think that you are too modest orreserved, suspicious or pessimistic because of your exceedingly critical mind, but aren't logic andwisdom great qualities? Of course, they are. Moreover, you keep your feet on the ground, you neverbehave irrationally and you are helpful and hardworking - what more can you ask for?!




Houses 2, 9 and 1 are the most tenanted ones in your natal chart. To compute their strength, planets andangles are weighed according to various astrological criteria such as swiftness, activity, angularity,rulership etc. From the analysis of the most tenanted Houses, the Astrologer deduces the fields ofactivity that are most relevant to you, be it because of what you are experiencing, or what you mayexperience in the future, or because of your deep inner motivations.

The 2nd house is among your three most tenanted houses: life's material aspects - with everything that isimplied in terms of security, appetite for life, desire for possession - are deep-seated and you can neverbe content with living on love and fresh air. On a more abstract level, you may have similar feelingsregarding relationships: possessiveness and jealousy in the worst cases, but also faithfulness anddurability.

Your 9th house being one of your most tenanted house, or at least emphasized, travels and farawayplaces play a major role for you: travels may take place in a symbolic sense, namely mind speculations orconceptions about political matters, philosophy, religion or spirituality, or in the literal sense, such asreal long distance travels by plane. It may also be that you spend a part of your life far from home, etc.You are driven by some kind of rebelliousness, which urges you to explore the Unknown; it may also bethe call of the adventure. Besides, if the rest of your chart concurs, you may be considered as a realdraught, often up hill and down dale, constantly on the lookout for exciting discoveries and new,enchanting horizons.

With a dominant 1st house, your magnetism is powerful, and your individuality as well as your willpowerare out of the ordinary. You are a determined, strong-willed, and assertive person, with this relativecriterion at least.

It is likely that you never go unnoticed when you are in a crowd or a in reunion: an important 1st housesuggests that you are a charismatic person with above average vital energy, especially if the Sun ispresent in this sector.

Your personal interests are always important and you never forget them, which doesn't mean that you areself-centered, but only that you behave according to what is in harmony with your deep nature!




Your Style, Behaviour, and PeculiaritiesWhat is commonly known as "sign" indicates the position of the Sun in the Zodiac. The Sun highlightsall the characteristics of the sign he tenants. According to astrology traditional rules, these characteristicsare all the more pure and exact when the Sun is strong in the sign, or when the sign is particularlyhighlighted within the chart. Here, we indicate the pure characteristics of the sign but you must bear inmind that they may only shed a light on a particular aspect of your personality. Indeed, the sole sign ofthe Sun, or of the Ascendant, can never describe an astrological chart because it depends on the degreeof strength of the said sign in your chart.

Another important point must be underlined. Contrary to the Ascendant, which clearly describes yourappearance, your vitality, your physical constitution, your spontaneous behaviour and the image youproject, your Sun sign describes your inner self, which you may not completely be aware of, and whichmay emerge gradually as you mature: it is about your inner personality that you reveal only to themembers of your entourage whom you trust. The Sun sign is likely to be the final form of yourpersonality, once it has evolved in line with the energies of the other parts of your chart, the beginning ofwhich is seen in the Ascendant, your external "bark".

The Ascendant is one of the major components of your natal chart. It is the zodiacal sign that rises in theEast at the very moment of your birth. To calculate it, it is therefore necessary to know your exact time ofbirth.

It provides with a wealth of information on your personality. It is one of the key features that allows theanalysis of several parts of you, such as your appearance, your character as it is initially perceived andyour immediate behaviour. It describes the external aspect of your personality which you always display,but it also describes your physical constitution in the long-term, in other words, your health.

Please be aware that, in spite of the importance of the Ascendant, the accuracy of its description dependson how strongly highlighted it is in your natal chart. We use the entire set of astrological rules to assessthe strength of the Ascendant. In most cases, the Ascendant is as revealing as your “sign”, i.e., the signwhere the Sun is posited at the time of birth.

You were born under the sign of Virgo and your Ascendant is in Leo

Before broaching the details of the meaning of your Sun and your Ascendant, as a preamble, we offer abrief generic interpretation of their combination in your chart:

There seems to be a clash between your inner self, represented by Virgo, and the way you behave insociety, which is influenced by your Leo Ascendant. You loathe unexpected events, and your closeentourage mostly notice your reasonable and pernickety facet which enables you to organise your lifeand to never be overwhelmed by any situation. You are appreciated for your brilliant remarks and yourincisive sense of humour, which, as vexing as they may be, are never ill-intentioned. The Leo mask youwear in society conceals your reserved nature. On the contrary, Leo endows you with catching warmthand a dignity which is devoid of ulterior motives. You sometimes goof, and in such cases, you reactcomically because you never want to reveal your weak spots. This sign combination results in a blend ofhumility and pride which is quite paradoxical since, on the one hand, Leo needs to shine and command




respect, and on the other hand, Virgo cannot help feeling guilty for the sin of pride. You are constantlydissatisfied, and although you turn down the praises people extended to you, you anxiously fish forcompliments when they don't come quickly enough!

You were born with the Sun in Virgo

Psychologically speaking, your nature is nervous and secondary. Before you take action, you cautiouslyponder over things and you review any possible alternative and reaction. You strive systematically to findthe best possible response to any given problem. You are a perfectionist above all and you have no restuntil you optimize a situation, in each and every area, be it professional, pragmatic, aesthetic or inpleasure. You do not accept spontaneity and, to fully enjoy life and go further, you consider thatdemanding the best is the least you can do, even though it is detrimental to the rough force associatedwith your instinct. The intellectual element intervenes before both the physical ones and your feelings: itis one of the essential clues to understanding your personality.

As you are born under this sign, you are cerebral, clear-sighted, focused on details and on numbers,analytic, serious, competent, reasonable, modest, tidy, organized, spruce, industrious, provident, honest,loyal, reserved, shy, helpful, willing to progress, talkative, perfectionist, logical, hardworking, tactful,patient, precise, concrete, spiritual. You can also be narrow-minded, calculating, irritating, petty,pernickety, hung up, anxious, cold, repressed or sarcastic.

In love, Sir, your inner self is different from what you seem to be: you are sensual and affectionate andyou find it hard to show it because your nature is to be cautious, reserved and analytical. You think toomuch, which gives you a cold and distant look. However, it is a mask that you wear and take around withyou. As soon as you feel in confidence, you become able to take off the mask and to reveal your true face.You are critical and perfectionist and you must be cautious enough to keep your comments to yourself,especially in this particular area.

In the fields of sex and affection, real confidence is an imperative pre-requisite. Otherwise, it isimpossible for you to show your true self and to remove the mental screen that proves so efficient inother areas, but that is very burdensome and inhibiting in the private sphere.

When you manage to do so, you become a charming, sensual and endearing partner and youcommunicate easily thanks to Mercury who rules your sign.

You are loyal, organized, conformist, more suited for celibacy. But once you take your decision, you arequiet and tidy and you will bring up your children according to the best traditional principles.

Because Virgo is a dual sign, there may be two marriages, or there may be a love affair in parallel.




Your Ascendant is in Leo

Psychologically speaking, your nature is powerful and self-assured. You are a leader whose strength andnobleness naturally arouse your entourage’s respect and adherence and your legitimacy is unquestioned.Your sense of commandment, the honour your person constantly exudes, your prestige and yourcharisma is a whole which puts you into the spotlight wherever you go.

As you are born under this sign, you are proud, determined, wilful, loyal, solemn, generous, ambitious,courageous, heroic, full of vitality, creative, confident, seductive, happy, daring, proud, majestic, honest,magnanimous, charismatic, responsible, noble, brilliant, radiant, dramatic, affectionate, full of humour,demonstrative, swaggering and self-confident.You can also be domineering, conceited, touchy,authoritarian, stubborn, intolerant, self-centered, irascible, violent, and nonchalant.

In love, Sir, you are very demanding. You are a powerful and loyal lover. Your partner must be the mostbeautiful and the most brilliant person and she must make you feel that she admires you. In such a case,your generosity has no limit and you give your love without reservation, with nobleness, liberalities andluxury. You set up a stable and brilliant home where children have the essential part.

The main danger is that you value trust to the extent that you grant it generously but too hastily: if youhappen to find out that your trust is misplaced, the whole world around you crumbles and therelationship is forever damaged. In this regard, you are cut-and-dried and you feel so hurt and humiliatedthat you seldom can forgive.

Another similar danger comes from the fact that your expectations are very high and it is very unlikelythat real life offers such unconditional and lasting love: for this reason, it is not unusual that you nevermarry, all the more so because your self-centered character is not prone to self-questioning…

The ruler of your chart is in Virgo

The ruler of the Ascendant, also referred to as the chart ruler, brings a few interesting nuances to themeanings provided by the Sun and the Ascendant. The sign in which the ruler of the Ascendant isposited fine-tunes the style of personality described by the Sun and the Ascendant. It may strengthen it ifthe sign is identical to either of them.

In your chart, the ruler of the Ascendant is the Sun. This specific feature means that the Sun'scharacteristics previously delineated are strengthened.

Aspects to your Ascendant

Several planets form an aspect with your Ascendant, Jean-Michel. Therefore, in their specific way, theymodify your behaviour and your personality, which do not take on the pure characteristics of your LeoAscendant only, but which are a blend of its characteristics with those of the said aspects.

Pluto conjunction Ascendant, orb 5° 54'

Pluto is in conjunction with your Ascendant, Jean-Michel. The planet of taboos, power, secrets, andinstinct endows your behaviour with an uncontrollable domineering note which is not negative as such.At the same time, it also provides you with exceptional lucidity. In spite of yourself, Pluto prompts you todiscover people's secrets, to provoke them in order to better understand their "truth". Your mysteriousand slightly frightening magnetism is definitely part of your seduction!




Neptune sextile Ascendant, orb 2° 04'

Neptune in soft aspect with your Ascendant endows you with a sharp intuition which enables you toinstinctively adopt the behaviour which your entourage appreciates, Jean-Michel. You have the naturalflair which prevents you from making errors of judgment on people. You understand the crowd, and youhave the good reflexes for being well-accepted by all.




Your SensitivityYour temperament is impulsive, Jean-Michel, you are fond of instant thrills and you do not like to waitbecause you grow weary quickly. With you, things must keep moving fast! Your vivid imaginationtriggers enthusiasm, audacity and independence because you need to undertake and to achieve. You donot fear to be defeated and, far from slowing you down, rivalry and struggle have a stimulating effect.Because of your sensitivity all on edge, you are irascible and unpredictable: it is easy to unwillingly getyou started and this makes your life a bit difficult with the family and with friends. You are perceived asan impatient person, short-tempered, whimsical, unstable and even, aggressive, and people think thatyou don't take your entourage's needs into account. However, you may also be warm, ready to help andto comfort whenever you are able to control your impulsiveness. You must not be worried about losingyour identity when you listen more to your close friends...

Your emotions, Jean-Michel, prompt you to experiment what is faraway and foreign to your roots. Youare indeed attracted by the unknown or by what is different from you, and it is mainly abroad that yourealize that your emotions are exalted or that your popularity is enhanced. Besides, it is likely that yourwife is a foreigner or at least, that you meet with her abroad.

Women may play an important role for your philosophical or moral training, or for your quest ofknowledge and expanded horizons.

Moon trine Jupiter, orb -0° 19'

Why should one complicate one’s life if it is possible to enjoy the simple joys of the present? Thisharmonic Moon-Jupiter aspect indicates a cheerful nature, which earns your entourage’s liking andprotects the balance of your intimate life. Your sociability is supported by your desire to smoothly adhereto a group, a social or family cell. You are fond of moments where you unwind and relax. You value yourdaily comfort and, to preserve it, you accept to play by the rules of privacy. When this aspect dictatesyour attitudes, you behave like a person easy to get along with… even though your personal demands,relegated to the backseat, come up again at top speed and force you to behave more in line with yourinner needs.

Moon opposite Mars, orb -4° 19'

The Moon-Mars dissonance suggests touchiness and sometimes, aggressiveness. You are irascible andvery sensitive to all sorts of threats and dangers. You react very quickly, too hastily. To protect your wellbeing, you must learn to control your mood, to coordinate your actions and to balance your opinions.You are often disturbed by plain facts: Either you seek refuge in your intimate realm and refuse to facethe truth or, on the contrary, you are engaged in altercations, which forbid all tranquillity. It is importantthat you balance these two tendencies and that you alternate moments of action with phases ofcarelessness and relaxation. These two attitudes are relatively irreconcilable.

Moon square Venus, orb -3° 27'

With this Moon-Venus aspect, passion and sensuality may often upset your well being and yourtranquillity. Your way of loving is dual. You either accept life simple joys, or you live through intenseemotions and consuming fevers. It is difficult for you to reconcile your daily life with your affective orsensual desire. Habits kill passion, whereas passion forbids the carelessness that is yet indispensable foryour fulfilment. This aspect suggests the traditional mother/woman and father/lover antagonisms thatare incompatible although it is possible to experience them alternately. It is important that you balancethese antinomical desires: you may let the turmoil of your heart break the monotony of an amorous life




devoid of excitement but it does not mean that you must forsake the reassuring values of a couple, orfamily cell, where you can rest at will and give free rein to your intimate behaviour. You may indulgeyourself but don’t forget that you must deserve love.

Moon trine Pluto, orb -3° 48'

You are a riddle for people… and for yourself. This harmonious Moon-Pluto aspect arouses your desireto understand and to express elements hidden in your unconsciousness. You are interested in the occult,in laws that rule beings and things in the dark. You like to pull strings and to manipulate situationswithout people’s knowledge in order to remain mysterious. You feel fine when you are not in thelimelight, but you intervene in the dark, with subtlety. Your intimate behaviour reveals the distance thatyou strive to keep in order to protect your inner life. You gladly cultivate the angel of the bizarre, even inyour life habits and in your daily rhythms.

Moon opposite Neptune, orb -7° 38'

This Moon-Neptune dissonance wonderfully turns on the poetic soul, the exhilaration of feelings anddreams… and disturbs your practical life, as well as the management of contingencies. You do not lackinspiration but your reasons of living may be beyond your entourage’s understanding! Bohemian life ispleasant but it is probable that you experience muddled situations. Your aims are noble and yourintentions are very good. But you may not have the will to turn them into reality. It is important that youare wary of artificial paradises: escaping in the imaginary is not necessarily the best solution for problemsolving. You are in search of an inaccessible tranquillity and you tend to procrastinate chores.Nevertheless, facts remain present and you may see that non-interventionism can only increase yourdifficulties. You must put an end to this vicious let-go circle. This does not imply that you have toforsake your dreams or to repress your very rich sensitivity.

Moon trine Saturn, orb 7° 53'

This harmonious Moon-Saturn aspect is an element of stability for your private life. Your daily life livesup to your demands, you are totally true to yourself and logical through your very intimate behaviour.You do not choose the easy way out: on the contrary, it is in difficult situations that you are at your best.It is very unlikely that you become destabilized by trifles. This aspect indicates stability and alsoperfectionism. You are longing for a private life respectful of your heart of hearts and your genuinedesires. Your well being is at this price, and its quest remains perpetual. Despite your reserved privatebehaviour, your emotions run very deep. You have a strong need for protection and for security. Youraspirations lead you towards contemplation or studies, more than towards social futilities.

Sun sesqui-quadrate Moon, orb -3° 01'

In your chart, two polarities are clearly opposing - or complementing – each other: on the one hand, solarvalues, the image you project and the models you follow. On the other hand, lunar values, moments ofletting-go and well being through casualness. When you commit yourself in a project, it is often to thedetriment of your peace of mind. Conversely, you completely feel that you are your true self only whenyou are no more under the scrutiny of the outside world. Therefore, you separate your social andprofessional activities from your private life and you seldom match the requirements of the former withthose of the latter. It may be a hurdle, a fundamental anxiety. It may also be an obvious asset, when it iswell integrated: in that case, you succeed in assigning to yourself, and in fulfilling, objectives that are notnecessarily in line with your intimate natural demands, which are preserved and separated from yourintentions, your ambitions and your expectations. Thus, a strong will can turn this Sun-Moon hardaspect into a rich instrument for creativity. A shadow zone, or uncertainty, still remains: on the affective




plane, you are very sensitive. May be too much, to the extent that you become vulnerable in manycircumstances. Because in different periods of your life, your landmarks (solar) and your intimatebalance (lunar) will be simultaneously challenged.

Moon quintile Uranus, orb -1° 05'

This harmonious Moon-Uranus aspect indicates that your well being depends on the original quality ofyour charm and on new-ness. You are not influenced by prevailing trends and fashion. You have apersonal view of what a balancing private life should be. You enjoy unexpected situations, evenextravagant ones. But if you feel that your living environment hampers your freedom, you suddenlychange your attitudes and your habits. Independence is your true realm. You may show an exceptionalinflexibility when your intimate life moves away from the patterns you need, deep down. Your entouragemust get used to your demands and to the values you are determined to keep with all your might and onwhich you are uncompromising. This determination does not allow for a laid-back attitude, or anindolence that so often causes degradations. You keep your own daily rhythms under control.

Your AffectivityIn your chart, the Sun is in Virgo and Venus, in Cancer. The signs of Virgo and Cancer haveselectiveness in common. There is a desire for protection and a will to limit the affective life within whatis known and familiar. There is also a form of modesty, of distance and of reserve… However, theSun-Venus duet underlines two demeanours that are different, even opposite, in many regards: whereasthe Sun in Virgo needs to keep situations under control, Venus in Cancer is more private and morenatural: for her, the only important things are feelings and emotions. Under such circumstances, how isit possible to experience a reasonable romanticism? There is no doubt that you are sensitive, even fragile,and you seldom reveal your impressionable nature. It is wiser not to exhibit your vulnerability! Thedanger with this configuration is to indulge in an extreme touchiness that is all the more stressed whenrepressed. Your partner must make the effort to understand you, otherwise the relationship may turn intoa dialogue of the deaf. Whoever is in a hurry to discover your personality is in big trouble! You show yourtrue face only with time and confidence.

You are sensitive, vulnerable and tender at the same time, Jean-Michel. When you love, you give yourentire affection and your partner may in all confidence rely on a long-lasting and reassuring relationship.You are so calm and so tender that you think that it is enough to win over your partner's heart, and youare often right. However, do not mix up giving and receiving. You so deeply need to receive love inreturn that you may be too passive and in the long run, as you become demanding, you may showimmaturity. Security and sustainability in your relationship are of utmost importance. Your family also isimportant, it is the refuge, even the sanctuary, where you like you hide when things go awry. You alsodream of love, may be too much, and it may be detrimental to what might be concretely experienced ifyou were more dynamic or less fearful to get hurt. However, remember that you receive only as much asyou give.

Jean-Michel, whether you want it or not, you are the illustration of the famous French saying that: "Tolive happily, let’s live in hiding!" Nothing suits you better than tranquillity, peace and, finally, to someextent, privacy in your love life. It may be caused by many different reasons, sometimes shyness,romanticism, modesty etc. but in any case, you are prone to experience love better in the clandestinemode. The legalization of your union, so often sought after by others, is something you dread more than




anything else. You are romantic, secretive, even melancholy, sometimes, and you tend to sublimate or tospiritualize your feelings, with the effects of bringing about moments of affective loneliness that do notreally take a toll on you. Indeed, you operate a sort of fatalistic association of love with ordeals in general:often, you meet with your soul mate during difficult circumstances or in a climate of sorrow. Is it due toyour highly dedicated and loving nature, or to your innate goodness? Whatever the answer may be, youoften establish serious links during such occasions. It may occur in a closed setting, a hospital or aconvent, or a prison. Mysteriously enough, love is born and develops easily. You are a philanthropist withgenuine compassion at the bottom of your soul and you give of your best when the period is filled withsorrows and doubts. You are among those who can commit themselves in all sincerity and fervour tocharities. There, your feelings will certainly find a natural outlet, in so far as you are unable to expressthem strongly enough in your concrete love life. In spite of your misleading appearances, you are ratherthe shy and reserved kind in the very intimate area of feelings but you are so nice, dedicated andgenerous that you are not any worse off than others: you successfully turn your ordeals into periods ofpersonal enrichment and beneficial growth, on the spiritual plane as well as for your destiny. Besides,you are blessed with a kind of protection against life hardships. The ravages of loneliness have absolutelyno effect on you, to your close relations’ deep astonishment.

Venus square Neptune, orb -4° 1'

You are very idealistic in love and you may be blind. In many circumstances, you deem your sentimentallife heavenly and you lay yourself open to delusions. Love is a dream and waking up is often painful.Your imagination distorts the game of intimate situations. It is important that you keep your sense ofreality and that you avoid to embark upon dark or muddled paths. Forget about artificial paradises! TheTradition very rightly insists on the tendency for impossible love affairs. Your demand and your thirst forthe absolute may make you dread to experience a common life that is inevitably flawed withcompromises and vagaries. The object of your affection is idealized « because it was her, because it wasme » and you do not reckon objective elements that will resurface later in full force. With this planetaryconfiguration, the danger is in the idealistic, even fanciful, nature of your affectivity. It is certain that lovecannot be bought or reasoned. But how is it possible to live an absolute passion on a daily basis? Youmust control your heart impulses and, without losing the sentimental riches that are part of your charm,you must put what you love in harmony with what you dream of.

Mercury sextile Venus, orb -2° 53'

This aspect sensitizes you to games of seduction. You like to multiply romantic undertakings, you inventnew reasons to seduce or to be seduced. Although your romantic life is not a model of stability, it is fullof discoveries, varied emotions, both sensual and cerebral. You know how to earn your entourage’s likingthrough your acute sensitivity. You play around with feelings, with relationships and with love…Mercury and Venus commonly share the capacity to sensitize to human topics. Your receptivity towardsothers is high. Your broad-mindedness goes hand in hand with your heart’s generosity. You payparticular attention to the way people look at you and the effect you make when you meet or exchangewith someone. Actually, you expect a lot from others: acknowledgement of your qualities, as well asesteem and consideration. You may also be touchy beyond what you may give to think. In manyinstances, relationship games may turn out to be more serious than expected.

Sun semi-square Venus, orb 0° 25'

The Sun and Venus form a mild dissonance in your natal chart. There is nothing very serious to worryabout. There is only a small gap between what you really want on the one hand, and your natural need tocharm and the warmth you display on the other hand. Thus, will and affectivity are slightly out of phase,




but it is most likely that you are the only one who feels it. This is a quite trivial characteristic, and youprobably do not have to correct it, since it is so mild.

Venus semi-sextile Pluto, orb -0° 2'

You exercise exceptional clear-sightedness in love. Your passions are subtle, deep, althoughdisconcerting and imperceptible to the outsider. You display no gullibility and you keep your distance.This is part of your charm. You detect what is really at stake in your couple’s relationship and in yoursentimental attitude. You drive the boat of your sensitivity without falling victim to mirages and affectivetraps. The only danger is that you may be too calculating. As you try to totally control love and toconstantly pull the strings, you may lose the ingenuity and innocence which are necessary to nurture arelationship. You give proofs of your love in a very personal way and you never hesitate to use paradoxesto preserve the authenticity of your relations. You can anticipate problems and prevent difficulties.

Venus square Mars, orb 7° 47'

This Venus-Mars aspect indicates a sensitivity all on edge and an impulsive character. Emotions andheart impulses cause a marked tension. Life is an affective battlefield. Love is omnipresent but oftenfragile: impulsiveness reigns over the realm of feelings. The object of desire may become irresistible andimplacable, or the sense of confrontations prevents affective tranquillity. However, the richness of youremotional responses is to be noted: you are more inclined than others to be guided by amorous feversand you live intense passionate experiences. Your overwhelming impressionability must be contained.Romantic people seldom enjoy tranquillity!

The Way You Take Action and Your SexualityNo one can say that you are particularly aggressive, Jean-Michel! Actually, it takes a great deal for you tobecome able to express your anger because you belong to the wavering type and you are not prone torisk-taking; you loathe violence and you would rather not intervene than start a conflict. Moderation andthe happy medium in all things are your favourites. One of the only areas that makes you wage war isinjustice, whether you are the one who is stricken or whether it is someone who is helpless. In thisparticular field, as in that of sexuality, you are not impulsive and you appreciate it very much when yourpartner shows the way, preferably with much serenity and gentleness. Actually, the form andcharacteristics of your sexuality depend on the rest of your personality.

It is in the private sphere that your capacities for action are felt, Jean-Michel. When you are outside, atwork or elsewhere, you do not like to show your true self.

But as soon as you are at home, no doubt, you almost shift identity. You become active and full ofenergy. You enhance your family environment, you upgrade your personal projects, and you want to takethe driver’s seat! If not, you move about, and you show your authority, sometimes a bit forcefully.

You are as conciliating and gentle outside as you are inflexible and authoritarian at home. Things hadbetter be moving, or else!

Mars sextile Saturn, orb -3° 33'

Persistent action always bears fruit eventually. All that is needed is patience… A quality you have,undoubtedly. As confrontations become unavoidable, you show strong persistence and indisputable




perseverance. Potential obstacles are more stimulating to you than they are discouraging. You arenaturally fit for effort and for confronting realities and facts. You quickly overcome difficulties and yourespond to crises in an efficient and considerate manner. You are enduring. You handle events withrigour and precision. These are valuable qualities nowadays, for they often come with the capacity toundertake adventurous experiences and to take limited risks!

Mars sextile Jupiter, orb -4'

Coordinated action wins over almost all obstacles! You mobilize your energy and your fighting spiritadvisedly and you take timely action. This is the reason why you are efficient in situations requiringcourage, determination, swift responses and diplomacy, altogether. You do not fear confrontations butyou never provoke them unnecessarily. You take advantage of your chances and you adjust yourbehaviour to concrete situations. You empirically handle events with relevance. The only danger is thatyou may be overzealous to seize any opportunity… even those that are not necessarily good in the longrun. You should take the time to carefully consider the facts and their consequences. The swiftness ofyour reactions must remain an asset.

Mars trine Uranus, orb -6° 34'

This harmonious Mars-Uranus aspect indicates an unshakable determination and the will to further yourideas through drastic, sudden, sometimes dramatic actions. You bend the string of your bow beforetaking action and you hit at the right time. The secret of your feats? An excellent command of your blitzactions. You concoct your plans in the dark, and then you move to an efficient and quick execution stepthat is often dazzling. You do not have the temperament of a loser. When you face and ordeal, you focusyour entire energy and will on your unique aim: victory over any obstacle. This planetary configurationmay lead to dangerous, even heroic actions. The danger is that you may over-estimate your strength oryour chances for success.

Your Intellect and Your Communication StyleYour capacities for logic and analysis are very good, Jean-Michel, and you evaluate each and every aspectof a given situation in objective and critical ways. You are industrious, methodical, with a lot of nervousenergy, you pay attention to details and you may spend lots of time in intellectual and painstaking works.Although you are articulate, you do not like to be in the forefront and you prefer to work in team ratherthan to take initiatives: you feel less anxious when you know what is exactly expected from you and whatyou need to do. You tackle problems with rationalism and you distrust imagination and intuition. Youlove letters as much as you love figures. Your caustic humour may destabilize your entourage who mayprefer that you were less demanding and more demonstrative. Please bear in mind that not everythingcan be kept under control...

You have your feet on the ground and a particularly well-developed practical good sense, Jean-Michel.With you, no excessive emotions or fuzzy, abstract thoughts: you know where you are heading to, andyour sharp and clear intellect usually enables you to efficiently manage your personal affairs.

You may be stubborn and concerned about your earnings and your success, particularly in the financialarea, where your intellectual abilities are remarkably exploited. You manage to get out of a tight spotthanks to your logical mind and clear vision.




Moon bi-quintile Mercury, orb -0° 21'

Curiosity is part of your nature. You perceive everything with sharp acuity. You increase your attempts toestablish connections and to exchange opinions and information, particularly when you are in a familiarand intimate context. When this configuration is well integrated, it underlines the multi-faceted nature ofthe mobility that defines your behaviour and your living conditions and endows you with strongadaptation abilities. You also show a remarkable gift for improvisation and you pick up the quality of theatmosphere so swiftly that you get off any tricky situations. However, you must keep your adaptationcapacity under control because when it is overdeveloped, it may become an agent for instability.

Mercury square Jupiter, orb 6° 41'

You play with social norms and you scoff at them. Your morality is seldom questioned: you adopt themost rewarding behaviour, precisely the one that wins you your entourage’s consideration. But yousometimes cheat. You are an opportunist and you act according to circumstances, particularly becauseyour moral stand is only a superficial mask. You enjoy concealing your beliefs: life is a social game andyou change its rules to suit your convenience. Your flexibility and your adaptation abilities areappreciated. However, it is important that you do not behave inconsistently. A stable and transparentcourse of conduct may help you avoid many pitfalls or delusions. Beware of words spoken thoughtlessly,of empty promises, and do stick to your indisputable cleverness.

Mercury quintile Uranus, orb 0° 43'

Your state of mind is innovative and turns the surrounding world into a constantly moving field ofexperiences. You ask relevant questions … and you answer them. Although you are flexible when youought to, your principles and your beliefs are unwavering. It seems difficult to catch you off your guard.You multiply observations, relationships, contacts and you never lose face: actually, your mobility hidesan unshakable determination and a deep lucidity. In a split second, you are able to catch the usefulinformation or the enriching relationship. The original and fanciful steps you take exclude monotony.Your approach to life is amazing!

Mercury semi-sextile Neptune, orb -1° 16'

Your sense of psychology and of human intimate mechanisms is acutely developed. Your relations arenuanced, clever and guided by a good intuition of individuals. Without effort, you pick up what is atstake in relationships and in contacts. Your « sixth sense » inspires you and may take you into strangeroads. On the relations’ plane, there is an indisputable subtlety. You know what you should not say or, onthe contrary, you naturally find the suitable words. Your natural and non-rational attitudes often proveright. The unknown fascinates you… Your curiosity for occultism and mystery is keen. Besides, life is ahuge human enigma for you.

Your Goals, Motivations, Career, and DestinyYour Sun is posited in the 2nd House

Jean-Michel, even though you do not acknowledge it, or you are not (not yet) aware of it, your entire willis tremendously helpful for your achievements, in terms of acquisition of goods and material security.Increasing your resources is the driving force behind your actions and your decisions. Your organizational skills and your efficiency are considerable. They serve the purpose of your destiny in




a remarkable way. In the fields of finance, industry, technology, real estate etc., your practical senseallows you to develop your resources, your unlimited earning abilities and your material power.

On a more abstract plane, you are quite possessive, particularly in the emotional sphere or in yourrelationships. You very much appreciate loyalty and commitment because they are sacred values to you.There is nothing you loathe more than unreliability. Indeed, since you set very high standards foryourself, you naturally expect the same level of quality from people.

However, you must remain cautious because your tenacity and your efficiency may turn you into astubborn and too materially-oriented person. When facing the few major ordeals life has in store for you,you may take more than you can chew and your greed for quick gains may expose you to delusions,which are proportional to the level of your hopes.

The ruler of your chart is in the 2nd House

The ruler of the Ascendant, also referred to as the chart ruler as explained in a previous chapter, is alsoposited in one of the twelve Houses of the chart. Just like the Sun in his House, the ruler of theAscendant provides certain abilities, or it makes you appreciate more keenly certain areas of life.

The ruler of your Ascendant is in the same House as your Sun. This specific feature of your chartstrengthens the Sun's characteristics previously delineated.

Aspects influencing your ambitions

Regarding your destiny or your career, the following aspects of your natal chart allow to fine-tune whathas just been said above:

Mars opposite Midheaven, orb -0° 43'

This opposition of Mars to your Midheaven can be summed up as follows, Jean-Michel: you express yourdynamism more in your private spheres than in your professional circles, or "outside". In society, youraudacity may sometimes be felt as aggressive, even though you do not mean it. Perhaps you should showmore gentleness, so that your courage and efforts become synonymous with efficiency and success.

Sun conjunction Saturn, orb 4° 04'

This aspect indicates a firm and discreet will, a rigorous and objective character. You are clear-sighted,particularly in difficult situations. You enjoy the moments of calm and solitude during which you canreview your life at will. Your judgments are enduring and often extremist. You are outraged by injusticeand inconsistency. When a problem arises, you do not take the easy way out with short-term solutions,on the contrary, you strive to solve the issue thoroughly. Better than anyone else, you challenge yourself,you review your choices and your attitudes. This is the reason why you are capable of handling crises andof overcoming any obstacle that requires an in-depth and relevant response. You may lack spontaneitybut your behaviour reveals your wisdom. When you are facing an issue, you put forward the goodquestion, to others, but also to yourself.

Moon conjunction Midheaven, orb 5° 03'

The Moon in conjunction with the Midheaven receives good press, Jean-Michel. She indicates potentialfame, or in any case, some degree of popularity. Your sensitivity is well perceived and, above all, itperfectly fits your professional destiny and your social ascent. Females may greatly influence your




success. Your social status or your profession may be tightly linked to lunar values, such as frequentcontacts with the crowd, children, women, daily matters, imagination, school, administration, leisure andsports for children, hotel and restaurant industry, bakery, poetry, the arts...

Sun sextile Uranus, orb 1° 03'

This aspect reinforces the determination as well as the will to further your original, sometimesrevolutionary, ideas and designs. Your capacity of innovation is important for your image. You have thesoul of a leader. You display a forceful and synthesizing mind. You may tend to oversimplify or toschematize situations. In most cases, you know where you are heading to and how to reach your goals.Your determination is two-edged… not everybody will appreciate your contrasted standpoints. It is yesor no, black or white! This planetary configuration indicates certainties. When it comes to actingaccording to your inner motivations and to respecting your models, you can show an unusual willpowerand sweep aside all obstacles lying on your path.

Saturn trine Midheaven, orb 2° 5'

Thanks to this soft aspect between Saturn and your Midheaven, your long-term efforts and yourperseverance are rewarded, and you gradually climb up the stairs of success. Time is your ally as far asyour career and social destiny are concerned. Carry on the good work, and rest assured that yourseriousness and your obstinacy are appreciated. They are instrumental in your success, especially duringthe second part of your life.

Jupiter trine Midheaven, orb 4° 43'

Jupiter is in soft aspect with your Midheaven, Jean-Michel. It means that you are often lucky, or that youreceive support in your career or your social destiny. You trust your abilities to overcome obstaclescoming up in your way, and you respect authority and laws. So, thanks to this configuration, you makeyour way in the world with the feeling that you move forward rather quickly, as compared to averagepeople.

Sun trine Midheaven, orb 6° 54'

In the professional and social status areas, Jean-Michel, you know what you want, and you know how tocleverly obtain it. Because the Sun and your Midheaven are in agreement in your natal chart, you have noqualms and no hesitations when it comes to defining the strategy for reaching your goal.

Jupiter trine Saturn, orb -7° 33'

Jupiter and Saturn are favourably linked to each other in your natal chart. The Tradition indicates thatthis planetary aspect is a good omen for your social success and good integration in the society. Indeed,Jupiter stands for public life, respect for laws and hierarchy, and acceptance of established rules, whereasSaturn symbolises wisdom, time, seriousness, and perseverance. Therefore, it is only logical that withthis Jupiter - Saturn configuration, your career, or your social destiny if you do not work, is well thoughtof by society, and that you are most likely to experience its happy outcomes sooner or later.

Uranus sextile Midheaven, orb 5° 51'

Thanks to this soft aspect of Uranus to your Midheaven, Jean-Michel, you are endowed with the gift tolet yourself be carried away by the changes cropping up on your way. Instead of being disheartening,modifications affecting your professional or social environment... stimulate you! Then, you may showopportunism, in the good sense of the word, and throughout your life, you may experience strokes ofgood luck, the consequences of which can be increased, thanks to your talent and your lack of fear




whenever you face newness.

Your Assets and Your Part of JovialityThis is the best possible position for the planet of Greater Fortune in your chart, Jean-Michel! It offers alot of human warmth (or it counterbalances introversion, if such propensity is indicated elsewhere inyour chart), the taste for travels, optimism, vitality and an enterprising mind. You are mobile and youhave a large vision. Wisdom starts with the ability to consider life from a different angle and to put allthings into perspective!

For you, Jean-Michel, nature's present includes a lot of great satisfaction in the area of leisure,entertainment, creation and love. Anything with a hint of pleasure is favoured. A marvellous worldexempt from constraint and obligation illuminates your life. According to the Tradition, your luck alsoapplies to your communication with children and your descendants are harmonious and successful.

The planet Jupiter symbolizes expansion, broadness and generosity. Jupiter is associated with thefunctions of synthesis, enthusiasm and optimism. In your natal chart, his house position is moreimportant than his sign position because, like Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, he is a slow planet.Many people born in the same period have Jupiter in the same sign. This is the reason why the signoccupied here is less meaningful than when it is occupied by the so-called fast planets, i.e. the Sun, theMoon, Mercury, Venus and Mars. Therefore, some caution is to be exercised as you read what follows.

Jupiter in Sagittarius is very popular because he rules this sign, and, according to the Tradition, he ismost potent and at his best. He endows you with all his natural qualities: enthusiasm, sense of humour,boldness, warmth, optimism, leadership, synthesizing mind, but also, propensity for travels or,symbolically, disposition for higher knowledge and matters such as spirituality, philosophy, politics orreligion.

Your Serious SideYour ambitions and your self-perception are marked with some degree of detachment. You become lessfrivolous and more detached from individual and superficial values as time goes by.

Solemnity, seriousness and discipline are your keywords, Jean-Michel. It is difficult for you to relax, andit is most likely that at the beginning of your life, you are shy, quite introspective, and distant. You maybe worried even though you have no reasons to do so. Your doubts may be overwhelming to the extentthat they affect your vitality.As time goes by, thanks to your strong will, your serious side becomes an asset for your success. Youlearn spontaneity, risk-taking, and lightness, and you are less concerned with the image you projectbecause, in your heart of hearts, there already are hindsight, solemnity, and some sort of wisdom!

The planet Saturn symbolizes contraction, effort, time, limitation and concentration. Saturn eliminatesanything that is not authentic, sooner or later. It is impossible to cheat him as he gives an irresistibledesire to form a coherent whole with oneself, in responsible and wise ways. He is the great purifier. Herepresents our limitations but also our truth. In your natal chart, the house position where Saturn is




posited is more important than his sign position because, like Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, he isa slow planet. Many people born in the same period have Saturn in the same sign. This is the reason whythe sign occupied here is less meaningful than when it is occupied by the so-called fast planets, i.e. theSun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars. Therefore, some caution is to be exercised as you read whatfollows.

Saturn in Leo tends to detach you from pleasure and leisure and gives you a serious and responsiblenature. These are good qualities if Saturn is not badly aspected, even if your inclination for having fun isnot particularly increased by this planetary configuration…

A Few Special PointsYour Uniqueness and Your Utopias

Powerful protections, friendships, and supports are granted to you at a jerky rhythm throughout your life.There may also be break-ups that are as brutal as they are easy to forget because you manage to ensurethat your contacts are brilliantly revived.

The friends you meet have strong personalities, or they may be quite special persons; indeed, you thinkof friendship as a rich and varied soil in which everyone must bring one’s own contribution with one’stouch of originality and difference. Otherwise, what’s the use?

The danger is that you may embark upon projects that you cannot see through in the long run becausethey are too utopian. You may also count on partners who are too eccentric to be reliable. Or, on someoccasions, you may show too much independence of mind or a boldness that is too strong to really last.

With this typical configuration, your popularity may fluctuate and disappear as quickly as it comes. It isup to you to set the limits of originality that you must not overstep, lest you should undergo unfortunateconsequences.

Your Inspiration and Your Illusions

The way you think and communicate, as well as the organization of your trips, are deeply emotional andsensitive and lack rigour. On the other hand, you are able to "sense" things directly. Your mind gains insynthesizing ability what it loses in analysis capacity.

You have bohemian ideas, and the way you look at things is quite flexible. As you daydream and youindulge in your emotions, you may be cut off from reality and may lose important relationships! Do notrun away, do not tell lies, and take advantage of the best aspects of this configuration: intuition andinspiration.

Your Passion and Your Authority

Your close friends are aware that your underlying tension may break open as soon as you feel threatenedor when your honour is tarnished by ambiguous actions or talks. You have an innate taste for power, and




you exude a strong form of magnetism and authority.

Your need to transform both your environment and your personality may prompt you to displayaggressiveness. But more often than not, it remains a form of blackmail in order to dominate others,something similar to the chess principle that “threat is better than implementation”.

Your Isolated PlanetsIn general, the ten planets of the chart are connected to other planets by major or minor astrologicalaspects. It is owing to those ties that the planets' energies can manifest in the chart owner's personalityand play out within safeguards according to a specific tonality.

It seldom happens that in a natal chart, a planet is totally disconnected from the nine other planets.

Astrologers have observed that when such a case occurs, the person feels the energy of the unaspectedplanet in quite a singular way, very jerky and powerful at the same time. Thus, for instance, the famedastrologer Jean-Baptiste Morin de Villefranche wrote that "an unaspected planet heralds that somethingstrange or extraordinary will take place regarding the meanings of the house in which the said planet isposited" (source : l'astrologie selon Morin).

Rules for detecting an unaspected planet: among all the testimonies that we have reviewed to this day,based on our experience, we tend to agree with American astrologer Janis Huntley who accepts sevenaspects, which involve the zodiacal twelve sections of 30 degrees. The aspects to be considered are theconjunction (0 degree, cooperation or tension), the semi-sextile (30 degrees), the sextile and the trine (60and 120 degrees respectively, aspects of cooperation), the square and the opposition (90 and 180 degreesrespectively, tensed aspects), and the quincunx (150 degrees, slightly tensed). In this detection, thechart's angles are not taken into account.

In any case, it is important to remember that an isolated planet clearly expresses its influence when it is apersonal planet. Thus, when the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, or Mars is isolated, it is certain that theeffects described by Jean-Baptiste Morin de Villefranche will become manifest. As for Jupiter, Saturn,Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, one must be cautious because the volume of cases documented is not yetlarge enough.

Your chart has no isolated planet, and this particular case does not apply to you.




Annex 1: Your Minor DominantsThe five following dominants are less significant than those described at the beginning of your report.They may not be strongly felt. In some cases, they add several minor details to the analysis of yourcharacter, but they are rather for curiosity purposes. It is not necessary to take them into account whenyou first read your portrait.

Your Planetary Repartitions: Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western Hemispheres

The axis linking the 1st house's cuspide (the Ascendant) to the 7th house's cuspide - the Descendant -divides the zodiac into two bowls, a superior bowl, in the South, and an inferior bowl in the North.Quoting an expression by the famous American astrologer Rudhyar, the Southern part and the Northernpart correspond to two functions: "being" and "doing". Other concepts are also associated with thisNorth and South distribution, such as introversion - Northern hemisphere - and extraversion - Southernhemisphere - being or appearances, inner life or external life, reflection or action, dreaming one's life orliving one's dreams, the abstract or the concrete, backstage or limelight.

This is not about determination but about personal inclination: thus, some people will be thrown intopublic life despite a prominent Northern hemisphere. If this happens, however, it will not be due to theirwill, their taste or their deep nature. Conversely, a prominent Southern hemisphere will not bring about afamous destiny to its owner, even if he tends to turn the spotlight on himself, or if he looks for a moreactive life. It is a matter of deep nature and natural inclination. Of course, none of the typologies is"superior" to another.

In your birth chart, Jean-Michel, the ten main planets are distributed as follows:

Jean-Michel, the predominance of planets in the Northern hemisphere prompts you to reflect andimagine rather than to exteriorize your actions and to be at the forefront of the stage. So, should you wishto remedy this situation, it is up to you to force your nature to take action in broad daylight, tocommunicate, and to assert yourself... then, you can move forward in this concrete life and enjoy yournewly won situation.

The birth chart is divided into two other parts, Eastern and Western, by the axis linking the Midheaven




to the Imum Coeli.

The Eastern part, on the Ascendant side, shows the person's ego, will, magnetism, and vitality, whereasthe Western part, on the Descendant side, symbolizes other people, communication, relationships andtheir influence, as well as flexibility and adaptability.

Jean-Michel, here is the planetary repartition in your Eastern and your Western hemispheres:

The predominance of planets in the Eastern hemisphere of your chart enables you, Jean-Michel, to assertyourself and to rely on your determination: you know what you want and you have a tendency to takeaction and to decide with your personal goals as priorities, even if they can be in contradiction with whatothers think.

A definite asset... provided that you never make mistakes in your choices. You should pay more attentionto your entourage in order to counterbalance your nature and to take advantage of your assets wisely.The danger is that you may be too authoritarian and not conciliating enough. Strong determinationcoupled with flexibility and acute sense of communication are qualities you should develop.

Your Yin and Yang Polarity

The twelve signs are divided into two polarities, called active or passive, or sometimes masculine andfeminine, positive and negative, Yang and Yin. This classification corresponds to two quite distincttonalities, the first one bringing extraversion, action, self-confidence and dynamism, the second one,introversion, reactivity, reflection and caution. None is superior to the other, each group has its ownassets and shortcomings. Odd signs - Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius - belong to thefirst group, whereas even signs - Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces - belong to thesecond group.




According to the disposition and qualities of your planets and angles, you are rather influenced by Yangenergy, the active polarity, Jean-Michel: more concerned about actions than reflection, you sometimesrush without standing back and without the deepness that is needed. However, your spontaneityprompts you to take fresh starts, even after repeated failures caused by your rashness.

Your Houses' Accentuations

Houses are split up into three groups: angular, succedent and cadent.

The first ones are the most important ones, the most "noticeable" and energetic houses. They are the1st, 4th, 7th and 10th houses. Their cuspides correspond to four famous angles: Ascendant for the 1sthouse, Imum Coeli for the 4th house, Descendant, opposite the Ascendant, for the 7th house andMidheaven for the 10th house, opposite the Imum Coeli.

Planets are evaluated according to a whole set of criteria that includes comprehensive Western astrologyrules. At their turn, planets emphasize specific types of houses, signs, repartitions etc., as previouslyexplained.

The emphasis is on succedent houses in your chart, namely, the 2nd, 5th, 8th and 11th houses,




Jean-Michel: this configuration usually endows a personality with affective and sensitive qualities.Obviously, to the detriment of self-confidence or self-assertion, but your heart qualities may be veryimportant. These houses also favour realization. Time and patience are part of their characteristics.However, they are only indications and you must include them in the rest of your chart in order to seewhether they are validated or not!

Your Esoteric Decanates

Each sign contains 30 degrees and can be divided into three equal parts: the decanates. The Traditionindicates that specific meanings can be associated to each of the three decanates. Their sphere of activityis usually limited to the Sun sign, however, it is even more interesting to observe the distribution of allthe planets in the chart to get an idea of the respective importance of the three decanates, which cancomplement the description of the personality.

These meanings must be considered with the greatest caution. Indeed, they are minor characteristicsthat can only underline other outstanding traits of character.

Traditionally, the first decanate highlights the characteristics of the sign where a planet is located. Thetwo other decanates correspond to sub-dominant planets, depending on the nature of each sign. Thissystem leads to a multiplication of meanings and it is impossible to have a clear understanding: here, weprefer to give only the meaning of one decanate in comparison with the other two, within the birth chartas a whole. Again, the greatest caution is needed with regard to this minor indication as it is not alwaysreliable: it is not essential that you read these texts in the beginning. You can get back to them later on,once you have read more important interpretations

The second decanate, which means the part between 10° and 20° of any zodiacal sign, prevails in yournatal chart, Jean-Michel: these 10 zodiacal degrees emphasize logical thought and mental values.Therefore, you may be drawn to some kind of scientific activities, research, writing or any sort ofexpression where you have to... think a lot.




Annex 2: Karmic Study

The karmic theme is a good complement to the psychological portrait, or natal chart. This analysis isbased on the positions of the Lunar Nodes, the Black Moon and the Part of Fortune: they are also calledfictitious points and describe the spiritual purpose of your destiny. Because there is in all of us anexperience and a quest, our life is an evolutionary journey... provided that we head towards the rightdirection, of course! Indian astrologers highly prize the Nodes axis (North Node and South Node). It isthe Ariadne's thread that we are invited to follow. The Black Moon indicates the sector where we aremost likely to transform or to transcend, whereas the Part of Fortune points out the area where we caneasily express our specificity.

The Lunar Nodes: a spiritual path

Lunar Nodes have their roots in the Indian tradition and they are based on a simple concept: each of ushave a mission of their own, here on earth, a destiny, a course. According to the Indian philosophy, life isa school: the nodal axis describes our past experiences (South Node, our karma, our spiritual inheritanceor our previous lives), and our aims on earth (North Node, our Dharma, the purpose of our currentincarnation). This is the reason why the study of the lunar nodes is called "Karmic astrology". Here, weshall not step into hypothetical past lives. Wherever our current trends may come from, all that reallymatters is that we become aware of the purpose of our life, its finality and our dharma. We are likely tounderstand our life purpose around the age of 37, when the Lunar Nodes return to their natal position.

You are a rebel. Your extremist attitude earns you successes and setbacks, alternately, and prompts youto transform your lifestyle. However, you long for stability. Your life challenge is to accept to enjoy life'ssimple joys without gratuitously challenging your assets. As years and experiences go by, you learn thevalue of what you possess. Things that used to make you indignant, because they were too comfortable,become gradually highly worthy. Your progression encourages your level-headedness: in a first stage,you are prone to struggles, dissidence and contestations... that cause more delusions than satisfactions.Therefore, you set aside your outbursts of anger and strive towards wisdom: acceptation of facts – whichdoes not mean resignation –, renunciation without submission. Although it may not please the frenziedadventurers, you need a minimal dose of quietness and comfort if you are to give of your best and to fullyblossom!

Your life is marked with the major challenge of developing your social image, of asserting yourpersonality... and of leaving your shell. Your childhood and your family roots are very present. You havean inclination for quietness, protections and intimacy. You enjoy at will the moments when you feel "athome", in known territory and familiar situations. But you must learn to thrive in society, to give of yourbest, to socially shine, particularly when you feel that external pressure and opinions are upsetting. Donot fall in the trap of your dreams and souvenirs! Life implies responsibilities and the will to control,otherwise you cannot feel your true self. You may be too dependent and you must learn to slowly becomeautonomous, free to take decisions and to take action. Your sense of duty allows you to climb all thesteps of a perilous, yet thrilling, social ladder. As years go by, you claim more autonomy, more power andmore freedom of action.

Lilith or the Dark Moon

The Black Moon is the spark of refusal and distance that is dormant in all of us. Depending on the signwhere she is found in your chart, she highlights the desire to transform and to sublimate a part of yourlife. The Black Moon is unfathomable and mysterious. She gives a different dimension to the sector she




touches. Her manifestations are subtle; nonetheless, she is powerful, implacable, demanding to theextreme... The Black Moon is also called Lilith. She is the inner flame of your heroism andinsubordination.

The Black Moon here readily sacrifices the ties of this world to the essential: spiritual life andrenunciation, fusion into an ideal. Your dreams are strange: life vagaries do not matter since your questis internal. In the course of your progression, you may often show an unusual faculty of detachment.Although the reasons why you give up a given road for another one may not be always understood...though deep down, you know the reason why.

This configuration predisposes to the quest of the absolute on two accounts: firstly, the very nature of theBlack Moon, implacable and extremist, and secondly, she is in a sector of the Zodiac that is traditionallyevolutional but extremist. Here, you flirt with death, danger and challenge. Everything suggeststransformation, abandonment and revival, passion and cruelty. There is no half-measure in yourbehaviour, only a terrifying and marvellous thirst for the absolute... That'll take some doing for theperson who will experience it with required intensity!

The Part of Fortune in House

The Part of Fortune is a very ancient fictitious point that depends on the lunar phase at the time of birth.The astrological house tenanted is particularly strengthened. In your chart, the Part of Fortune is in the5th house: to you, success means to create, to produce a fruit or a work, or to give birth to a child. Beingin this world does not content you; you need "to do", to design, to live hand-to-hand with yoursurroundings. You are sensitive to power and you want to arouse esteem and admiration in yourentourage.




Conclusion

A few remarks are needed here in order to allow you to fully take advantage of your astrological portrait:firstly, do not forget that a birth chart is also a photograph of the sky at birth and a structure that not onlycontains the personality's characteristics, but also its potential evolution.

We all know that, in real life, people begin to know themselves when they are in their forties, or evenlater. Likewise, several traits of character in a portrait may seem surprising: in most cases, it means thatsuch features are not yet developed.

Some personalities reveal themselves late in life, whereas others are more precocious. It must beremembered that psychological structures are in a state of continuous evolution because they areinfluenced by unfolding events and gradual maturity. We can never underline strongly enough the"mobile" nature of the personality, throughout a lifetime.

On the other hand, it is difficult to discriminate what is "already present" at this moment in your lifewhen you are reading your chart's interpretation, from what will appear later in the logic of yourevolution: you must sort out all the pieces of information provided and, in most cases, you will see thatyour astrological portrait is helpful for your endeavours to know yourself better.

Finally, several readings of an astrological portrait are usually necessary in order to absorb all its differentmeanings and to evaluate the relevance of each character trait.

In any case, better self-knowledge obviously contributes to faster personal blossoming, and it isundoubtedly one of astrology's major roles: contributing to know oneself better, in order to improvemore rapidly, to deal with one's weaknesses and to avoid its drawbacks, and to take advantage of one'sassets as efficiently as possible.
