Now, let’s look at the other chart: [chart # 2 data: 6 Cancer Ascendant, and 18
Pisces Midheaven. 2 nd house cusp is 27 Cancer, 3 rd house is 20 Leo, 4 th is 18 Virgo, 5 th is
23 Libra, 6 th is 1 Sagittarius. Sun is in 18 Cancer, south node 22 Cancer, and Pluto in 25
Cancer in the 1 st house. Venus is 3 Virgo and Neptune 12 Virgo in the 3 rd house. Mars is
in 20 Libra in the 4 th hours. Jupiter is in 13 Scorpio retrograde and Moon 16 Scorpio in
the 5 th house. North node is 22 Capricorn in the 7 th house. Saturn is 9 Pisces in the 9 th .
Vesta is conjunct the MC on the 10 th house side at 20 Pisces, and Juno is 19 Aries in the
10 th . Uranus is 5 Taurus in the 11 th house. Chiron is 13 Gemini, and mercury 28 Gemini
in the 12 th house]
At first glance this one looks much more distributed. The average traditional
textbook says that if the chart emphasis is on the left, destiny is in your hands; if it’s on
the right side of the chart, destiny is in the hands of other people. This is not true! To the
extent that it’s mostly 4 th -5 th -7 th -8 th houses, then it becomes truer because those are the
areas of relationship. So if you really want relationships, you have to give up some of
your own will to have it. It’s not true for the 6 th and 9 th houses which are also on the right
side of the chart. The 6 th house is your own work, and if you are putting your energy
there, you don’t need anybody else. The 9 th house is your philosophy, and if you choose
your philosophy and believe what you want to believe, that’s under your control. You can
change your beliefs if you want to. The first three houses are your own personal needs
where you do what you want to do. The last four houses and signs are the transpersonal
ones where we are dealing with humanity as a whole, society, abstract truth, the law of
the universe, the Big Scene. We have to remember, though, that signs and houses are
both there, and many times you’ll find the balance there because we will have signs of
personal relationship in transpersonal houses or personal houses. In this chart that’s
actually the case, although the houses are mostly transpersonal and personal, but the signs
are Cancer and Leo very strongly. So this is a person who needs emotional relationships,
who is identified with being mother with Cancer rising and Sun in the first house, with
being a mate with Pluto in the 1 st house, and Mars is in Libra in the 4 th house (again
identified with being mate and mother). We have the Jupiter-Moon conjunction in the 5 th
house which idealizes children or motherhood, procreating children, loving and being
loved, and the mate theme again with the Scorpio sign. So this is someone who is looking
for the ideal motherhood role, the ideal mate (Venus conjunct Neptune more widely),
potentially marrying a father figure with Capricorn in the 7 th house. At the same time we
do have Virgo there, Vesta on the Midheaven, and Saturn just behind the Midheaven—
both of them in Pisces. So some kind of achievement in the world is also part of her
ultimate value. Part of her ultimate ideal is to do something outstanding in her work in
the world, idealistic, utopian, something great. She is also somewhat identified with the
mind with Mercury rising in the 12 th house, Chiron there, and East point just between
them. So mental activity is extremely important, and of course the 3 rd house activity
supports that, and Uranus in its own house says it again. She’s a mental person. And she
has the need for the balance just as the other one does, the need for home and family, and
also the need for a career. She clearly wants to do something idealistic with the career.
She also has the south node in the 1 st house. So part of the lesson again is to be able to
work out the balance between her own power, her own will, her own ability to do what
she wants to do, and her need for a mate (north node in the 7 th house). And if we work
out that polarity, integrate it properly, we do not deny our rights or the rights of the other
