conflicts to doing the nitty-gritty things, the routine job of living—not focusing on the
material world. So what we would say to him is: You know, there’s a power struggle
potential in part of your make-up. You need a competitive outlet for that. It could be a
competitive job, or games or sports or fighting for a cause. And the chart is clearly saying
that you have to learn to work, to cope with the material world, learn to deal with the dull
nitty-gritty details of working with the physical world.”
[Bill: “And Jupiter in Taurus plus Sun on Venus adds to the theme of just enjoying life
and be passive.”]
Zip: “Yeah. Easy, passive indulgence. And the Leo just says ‘I want the world to admire
me but why do I have to earn it?’”
[Bill: “Antivertex & East point in the Pisces house.”

Zip: “Now that could be idealistic if other factors in the chart supported it, but there’s just
not enough there that supports the idealism over the indulgence. But the power struggle
theme is very strong, and he needs a healthy outlet for it. He can’t just block it without it
being destructive. He needs to find a place where he can be competitive and use his
power effectively. Saturn is square the Midheaven. It rules the Midheaven and squares it.
That’s part of the trouble: work, accepting limits, and dealing with reality. So we
encourage him to take a job and do the best he could with it. If he got totally frustrated
with a job, he would change and get another one. Easy being a job hopper with this chart.
He also needs a competitive outlet, perhaps in a competitive job where he’s into some
kind of game-playing. But he needs to find out that he can win some and lose some. It’s
really vital for these [power-struggle] people to find out that they can lose and not feel
wiped out, and that they can win so it doesn’t destroy the other person if it’s properly
done. It’s game-playing. If they block their power because they’re so afraid they will
destroy someone else, or be destroyed themselves, then it can become really destructive.
It can eventually come out violently against themselves or others, or it cam come out as
illness, or it can be displaced and then all the relationships where they want harmony and
cooperation turn into power struggles instead. So we have to get it out in the open in a
constructive way.”
[Bill: “If that person with a strong self-against-self pattern keeps getting into
accidents…”]
Zip: “Well, that would be one form of it, being self-destructive (punishing oneself).”
[Bill: “People commit suicide unconsciously thru accidents.”]
Zip: “Right. Accidents are unconsciously suicidal in general—unless it’s just a minor
accident or non life-threatening accident to get out of a job they hate!”
[Bill: “Well, you’re not going to tell me the right chart, are you?”]
