Appendix A: Reading Your Own Astrology Chart
Moon Conjunct Pluto: You can really psych out a group, always getting to the heart of what is
really going on. You could have great political power when it comes to other people and
finances. You tend to attract (and enjoy) gut-wrenching, intense, emotional dramas.
Moon Opposite Pluto: Your own insistence on analyzing and probing into personal issues may
not endear you to the group. Others experience this kind of emotional intensity as unsettling.
It goes against how they feel. Power struggles in relationships can be expected.
Moon Trine, Sextile, or Semi-sextile Pluto: A born psychologist. Able to understand and
handle a crowd and the public in general. Devoted to children and the idea of future changes.
Not much given to a misuse of personal power. Always this sense of vision and purpose.
Intense. The long haul.
Moon Square, Semi-square, or Sesqui-square Pluto: Emotional stress stemming from your
insistence on analysis and psychological probing at the expense of feelings—yours and other
people’s. No one will support it. Your sensitivity and vulnerability often find you at odds with
the group or with others.
Mercury Conjunct Venus: You love words and ideas and sharing them through writing,
speaking, and so on. You love to talk. You appreciate and value the intellect and all mental
activities, have great taste and an eye for all that is fine. You are sharp when purchasing, a connoisseur.
Mercury Opposite Venus: It could be hard at times for you to put into words what you value
and appreciate about someone or something. Sometimes you may not like what you find yourself
thinking and saying. Some of your ideas challenge your own set of values.
Mercury Trine, Sextile, or Semi-sextile Venus: Lovely words and a flair for description—the
artistic in all its many forms. An inner sense of warmth and goodness, and the ability to
express this. Kind and easy to be with. Perfect taste in literary and artistic matters. Harmonious.
Mercury Square, Semi-square, or Sesqui-square Venus: You don’t put much stock in mere
words and ideas for their own sake. You have trouble appreciating what you cannot feel and
measure. You tend to say and think things that you may not feel are right, that go against your
expressed value system.
Mercury Conjunct Mars: You think and communicate with great force and in a very direct
manner. You are quick with words, quick to anger, and often sorry later for the sharp things you
say. You have great mental concentration and perseverance. You can articulate your emotions.
Mercury Opposite Mars: You are easily irritated, and conversations have a habit of turning into
debates and arguments. You often say things you don’t really mean at heart. With all this mental
energy and a hair-trigger mind, you often have to exercise self-control.
