Introduction

To fully benefit from this portrait, we suggest that you read its introduction and its preamble carefully,and then that to take the time to soak up the interpretations of each chapter. Given the large number oftexts, which mirrors the human being's complexity, you may need to go through the contents severaltimes, so as to get a good grasp of their meaning and to know yourself better. This will reward yourpatience.

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, very

different 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 yourgeneral 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 order

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.

Mélanie Laurent, the diurnal South-eastern quadrant, consisting of the 10th, 11th and 12th houses,prevails in your chart: assertion and goals achievement are at the centre of your concerns. You are verykeen to implement your dreams and your plans. You achieve your ambitions as soon as possible, whetherthrough an active social life, highly charged friendly relations, or an urge to take actions in order to reap -in the eyes of the world, of course - the rewards of your dynamism. It is likely that spirituality orhumanitarian actions are part of your motivations, sometimes at the price of some degree of isolation.

Your Dominant Modes and Elements

Mélanie Laurent, here are the graphs of your Elements and Modes, based on planets' position andangles in the twelve signs:

The predominance of Water signs indicates high sensitivity and elevation through feelings, MélanieLaurent. Your heart and your emotions are your driving forces, and you can't do anything on Earth if youdon't feel a strong affective charge (as a matter of fact, the word "feeling" is essential in yourpsychology). You need to love in order to understand, and to feel in order to take action, to the detrimentof a certain vulnerability against which you should learn to fight.

Cheers for communication and mobility, Mélanie Laurent! The predominance of Air signs in your chartfavours and amplifies your taste for relations and for all kinds of short trips, whether real (travels) orsymbolic (new ideas, mind speculations). You gain in flexibility and adaptability what you lose inself-assertion or in pragmatism.

Earth qualities are under-represented in your chart, with only 0.00% instead of the average 25%.Deficiency in Earth may indicate that you have no interest in material and concrete values. It is likelythat you live too much in your heart or in your mind, or even in your enthusiasm! The fact remains thatyou may end up in tricky situations, due to your lack of good sense or forethought: material life isunavoidable even if you are rather idealistic, dreamy, or easily content. You must tackle concrete lifenecessities, for fear of... being forced to cope with them, later, in much more unpleasant ways!

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.

The Mutable mode is the most emphasized one in your natal chart, Mélanie Laurent, which indicates amobile character that is curious and thirsty for new experiences and evolution. You are lively andflexible, and you like to react quickly to solicitations, but don't confuse mobility with agitation, since thisis the danger with this configuration - and with you, stagnation is out of the question. Security doesn'tmatter as long as you are not bored. You optimize, you change things, you change yourself... all this in aspeedy way.

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.

Mélanie Laurent, here is the evaluation diagramme for your planets:

The three planets that are most highlighted in your chart are the Moon, Neptune and Venus.

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 Neptune as one of your three dominant planets, you are a secretive and ambiguous person, oftenconfused or unclear about your own motivations! Indeed, you are endowed with unlimited imaginationand inspiration, as well as with an extreme sensibility that may turn you into a psychic or a clairvoyant.On the other hand, your impressionability is such that you may have difficulties in separating what isconcrete and solid from illusions or dreams.

A mystic, a visionary or a poetess, you daydream, like any Neptunian, and you see what few people onlycan see, all of this being shrouded in aesthetic mists when you are fired with enthusiasm.

A boundless, infinity-loving woman like you is inevitably likely to be more vulnerable and easily hurtbecause of your acute perception of events. In such cases, you are hit full in the face, and you may sinkinto gloomy daydreamings and dark melancholy.

That said, this mysterious aura definitely gives you an indefinable charm in the eyes of your close friendswho are often fascinated by your unique ability to feel and to see what ordinary people can never see!

With Venus among your dominant planets, one of your first reflexes is... to please! Your look, your

charm, and your seduction are omnipresent elements in your behaviour.

Your approach to things is connected to your heart, and for you, no real communication can flow if yourinterlocutors exude no sympathy or warmth. Cold and logical reasoning, clear thoughts and good senseare not important to you: if there is no affective bond with your environment, no connection can beestablished with the Venusian that you are, and nothing happens.

You have a strong artistic side, and you never neglect subjective but clear concepts such as pleasure,beauty, and also sensuality. However, sometimes to the detriment of efficiency, durability, logic, and...detachment.

In your natal chart, the three most important signs, delineated according to the above-mentionedcriteria, are, in decreasing order of strength, Pisces, Sagittarius and Gemini. They are often prominentbecause your Ascendant and your Sun are posited there. However, it is not always the case: it may bebecause they are occupied by a cluster of planets, by a planet near an angle other than the Midheavenand the Ascendant, or because two or three planets are very active and form numerous aspects fromthese signs. Therefore, you partly take on the three signs' characteristics, which are somehowsuperimposed on your natal chart, and all the more so if any of the signs in question is highlighted.

Pisces is among your dominant signs and endows your personality with unlimited sources of emotions,dreams, imagination, and sensitivity, to the extent that you literally swim in a cloudy ocean of delightfulimpressions. These impressions are so intense and overwhelming that you don't really need to takeaction concretely, to show your dynamism or your willpower, since you already live so intensely with yourfeelings - you are as keen as a radar, always on the alert! That is why some people may not like yourcarelessness, and the lack of clarity in your opinions or actions; however they quickly notice your artistictalents, your poetic or artistic side, and your total lack of wickedness. Besides, you feel compassion forpeople in pain - empathy is one of your great qualities. Thanks to your flexibility, your intuition, andyour generosity, you may spend an important part of your life helping others. And if you are creative or ifyou have well-known artistic talents, everybody will forgive your little flaws: absent-mindedness, lack ofenergy or of will, too dreamy temperament...

Sagittarius, an adventurous and conquering fire sign, is dominant in your chart: you are enthusiastic,enterprising, optimistic, very sociable, and mobile - you have itchy feet both physically and mentally.

Nobody gets bored with you because you are always planning things and suggesting excursions, atleast... when you are around and not already gone on a trip! Obviously, so many movements for onewoman may scare people off, and some of them may even criticize your brutality or your tendency toloose your temper, but you are so warm and genuine, so expansive, isn't this a good thing? And all themore so, since your sense of humour is overwhelming...

With Gemini as a dominant sign, your qualities include being lively, curious, mobile, clever, and flexible:you often make others dizzy, and you may come across as a dilettante - a bit inquisitive, shallow, andinsensitive because you may be too intellectualizing. However, your natural curiosity, a nice quality, andyour quick humour, allow you to demonstrate to everyone how much they may gain from your company,and that your apparent flightiness hides an appetite (particularly mental) for life, which itself conceals aterrific charm!

Houses 6, 10 and 12 are the most tenanted ones in your natal chart. To compute their strength, planetsand angles 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.

Your 6th house is quite emphasized and indicates interest in work and daily occupations that take up alot of your time: in analogy with Virgo, this house inclines towards perfectionism and training; somehow,you may be fulfilled through the process of being useful and investing your energy in your work. Anenvironment appealing to you may be involved - your colleagues, for example - or a passion for one ofthese daily occupations. Medical positions or pets may play a role in your life; or ancillary love affairstoo... These are a few possibilities indicated by an important 6th house.

With a prominent 10th house, your destiny's achievement may be very notable: the 10th house representsyour career, your public life, and your ambitions. A good deal of your energy may thus be used tosuccessfully implement what you have in mind. Instinctively, you are very keen to make your dreamscome true. Sooner or later, you will deal with the public, and your personal achievement will go throughtrials and ordeals: other people and visible actions.

The 12th house is emphasized in your chart: like the 8th house, it has a rich and complex meaning.

Although its bad reputation is likely to scare most readers in the first place - it is indeed the house ofhidden or isolated places, of solitude, of ordeals or enemies - it can also mean that a part of your life isvery deep and intense. If your achievements are not visible in the public eye, you may fulfil yourself in adifferent but equally important way: you may be involved in secret activities, humanitarian causes, andprojects in favour of disadvantaged people. You are likely to work in quiet and remote places. In manycases, you will gain from these hidden activities as many treasures as people who have a more publicdestiny. It may be because you sublimate your work, or only because you successfully carry out your taskwithin your environment. There is no such things as a good or a bad house, because each area of life isnecessary in its own way, and we need all of them, if we are to improve spiritually.

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 Pisces and your Ascendant is in Cancer

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:

With such a sign combination, you are besieged by Water signs! You are an incorrigible dreamer with apersonality which is hard to figure out, for people and for yourself alike. The Water element deals withthe affective and sensitive part of the personality, as well as with the intuitive and unconsciousperception of the world. This is the reason why you are naturally interested in irrational matters and youaccept the complexity of human beings and things, even though your open-mindedness may bemistaken for passivity, lack of realism, or fatalism. However, your Cancer Ascendant is a Cardinal andthus enterprising sign. When people meet you for the first time, you give the feeling that you know howto use your claws in order to get what you want, and your solid shell suggests that security is a majorconcern. You are secretive and inaccessible, and you pamper the people you admit into your private

circle. Having said this, it is worth underlining that, even in intimate settings, you keep a part of mysterybecause Pisces is the Zodiac's elusive sign par excellence. You enjoy delving at leisure into yourimaginary world, which is so remote from the usual norms, or you obstinately dedicate yourself to acause or a person, depending on your mood. Your apparent impassivity conceals a pressing need foremotional vertigoes and an irresistible desire to play with all the facets of your sensitivity.

You were born with the Sun in Pisces

Psychologically speaking, your nature is adaptable and receptive, exactly the opposite of the sign ofVirgo whose very essence is to analyze every detail, thus creating a definite duality between the self andthe outside world: conversely, Pisces absorbs and erases all forms of differentiation they face. WithPisces, there is no opposition, no conflict and no individual reaction. There is only fusion,non-separation, a perpetual and mobile spreading of the self over some blurred and huge sensation ofsympathy with the environment. It is the absolute reign of feelings and emotions over the intellect and itsseparative logics.

As you are born under this sign, you are emotional, sensitive, dedicated, adaptable, nice, wild,compassionate, romantic, imaginative, flexible, opportunist, intuitive, impossible to categorized,irrational, seductive, placid, secretive, introverted, pleasant, artistic, and charming. But you may also beindecisive, moody, passive, confused, wavering, lazy, scatterbrained, vulnerable, unpredictable andgullible.

Madam, you are the great lover of the Zodiac. You are mysterious and romantic, with an incrediblecharm, incomparable sentimentality and unbelievable attractiveness. Your vulnerability and your passivechild-like side are part of your natural seducing assets. The child-like woman or the femme fataleappears and disappears, in turn, according to your moods and to circumstances.

You are mobile, changeable but always noble. You move from excited encounters to delusions or tomoments of despondency. You are driven by one sole constant motive: to listen to your feelings and yourintuition, to use any given concrete situation as a basis for an imaginary realm full of fabulous andchimerical possibilities, where you are the adulated and worshipped star.

In your couple, you display the most total devotion. You offer your energy and your destiny to the manyou love. You sacrifice yourself, as you sacrifice a whole lot of potentialities or opportunities, withoutremorse and with enthusiasm, so as to feel the chords of your perfect union vibrate more deeply and toraise your ideal of fusion and unlimited love to higher stages.

You are deeply in love, very intuitive and sensitive. Because of the dual nature of the sign of Pisces, it islikely that in the second part of your life, you will marry once more, unless you choose to have asimultaneous relationship, more or less hidden.

Your Ascendant is in Cancer

Psychologically speaking, your nature is dreamy, oriented towards nostalgia for things past. You are veryinstinctive and you protect yourself against the outside world. Your inner life is rich, with fertile and evenunlimited imagination, a propensity to avoid unnecessary risks and to pursue security. You show yourtrue face only to persons you can trust, when there is a kind of well being triggered by the nostalgia forthe past.

As you are born under this sign, you are emotional, sentimental, restful, imaginative, sensitive, loyal,enduring, protective, vulnerable, generous, romantic, tender, poetic, maternal, dreamy, indolent, greedyand dedicated. You may also be fearful, unrealistic, evasive, passive, touchy, anxious, dependent,stubborn, lunatic, backward-looking, lazy, burdensome, impenetrable and a homebody.

In love, Madam, you are so romantic and dreamy, that you are in love practically all the time, eventhough it never shows… because you are so subtle and interiorized that everything is actually occurringin your head, most of the time.

You need to be in confidence, you need time and certainties, otherwise your powerful feelings and themarvellous stories you invented will have little chance to translate into concrete reality. But when theydo, nothing will stop you and you will live through the destiny that your intuition identified.

Your nature is deeply maternal, charming, amusing too, when you feel in harmony with yourself. Youwill really blossom when you have your own home and when you dedicate yourself to your children’shappiness; as you do so, try not to forget your husband… It is certain that you will then be the mostgifted woman for the creation of a cosy and protective cocoon and of a family network that will allow youto actively give free rein to your rich and deep qualities.

You need a strong and stable partner whom you can rely on.

The ruler of your chart is in Gemini

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.

The ruler of the Ascendant, Mélanie Laurent, is the Moon. In the sign of Gemini, it endows you withflexibility and the capacity to undertake several things simultaneously, sometimes at the risk ofspreading yourself too thing and getting discouraged. Your innate communication skills match yourinsatiable curiosity for people and for things.

Aspects to your Ascendant

Several planets form an aspect with your Ascendant, Mélanie Laurent. Therefore, in their specific way,they modify your behaviour and your personality, which do not take on the pure characteristics of yourCancer Ascendant only, but which are a blend of its characteristics with those of the said aspects.

Jupiter bi-quintile Ascendant, orb -0° 1'

Jupiter in soft aspect with your Ascendant naturally endows you with a reassuring, calm, and benevolentside, Mélanie Laurent. You honour your commitments without qualms, and thanks to your heart of goldand your generosity, your behaviour is protective and nice. You like to please other people, and wheneverit is possible, you enjoy finding compromise solutions to all problems.

Uranus bi-quintile Ascendant, orb -0° 23'

Uranus is in soft aspect with your Ascendant, Mélanie Laurent. Although your behaviour is original,nonconformist, and free, it is not unpleasant. On the contrary, this facet of your personality is sometimesconsidered by other people as endearing and unpredictable, in the good sense of the word. One nevergets bored in your company because you are often found where you are not expected, whether regardingyour ideas, your lifestyle or the way you react. You possess the charm independent and free persons areendowed with!

Sun sesqui-quadrate Ascendant, orb -2° 01'

There may be a contradiction between your will and your external appearance, Mélanie Laurent, whichslows down your natural spontaneity and in some circumstances, gives rise to doubts regarding yourbehaviour towards other people and the need to be true to your own beliefs. There is certainly nothingserious with this minor dissonance between the Sun and your Ascendant, only choices that are to bemade, so as to remain in harmony with yourself.

Your SensitivityMélanie Laurent, you tend to hold emotions at bay, as if they were dangerous. You observe with curiositywhat is occurring and you strive to objectively, logically and impersonally analyze facts in order to formcorrect judgments. Contacts and communication are very important to you, Mélanie Laurent, you makeuse of, even over-use, words, with deep humour because it is an additional way for you to be detachedfrom your feelings. You may come across as superficial because you keep on talking without committingyourself. You need to be constantly on the move, to discover and to communicate in order to avoidboredom. When you are alone, you can spend lots of time with books to nourish your mind that is so avidfor knowledge. However, be careful not to miss feelings because you favour intellectual sensations...

Mélanie Laurent, you find it hard to show what you feel, or you simply consider that it belongs to youand must not be exposed. Anyway, even if your emotions are rich and deep, you keep them inside andyou don't wear your heart on your sleeve. Very few persons are able to guess your mood of the moment.

Obviously, you still can be popular, and in that case, it is probably related to a humanitarian context or itinvolves your dedication. Indeed, the personal side is blurred and this fact allows you to express yourfeelings without having to open up too much.

Moon opposite Jupiter, orb -3° 32'

When this aspect is not well integrated, there is a tendency to conceal your true nature and to cheat onyour true self. Appearance, emphasis and games hide the essence of your aspirations and may troubleyour intimate life. Despite your apparent joviality, it is often difficult for you to live in conformity withyour inner demands. Actually, it is difficult for you to reconcile your social life with your private life. Theformer excludes the latter. To properly integrate this aspect, you must learn to harmonize your externalattitudes (social and professional ones) with your daily rhythms. It implies that, when you are in atrustworthy situation such as your family or your home, you accept to behave differently from when youare in a larger context, exposed to social stress. You must neither ignore them, nor should you favourthem.

Moon opposite Uranus, orb -3° 45'

The Moon and Uranus intrinsically share little in common: they get along as well as fire and water! It isdifficult for you to reconcile your desire for well being and intimacy with your destiny’s dazzling passionsand thunderbolts. You may feel that your intimate and family realm hampers your freedom. There is apotential for crises, explosions or splits. The desire for independence does not get on well with securityconcerns. There may be strong temptations endangering your very life foundations and you may embarkupon a liberating and personal adventure. However, you fear rash decisions. Your need for security maytemper your impulses and put a brake on your individualistic aspirations. To harmonize these tendencieswithin your intimate life, you must leave yourself enough room for personal expression or for an activityof your own. Otherwise, as days go by, built-up tensions may jeopardize the quiet course of your life.

Moon sesqui-quadrate Pluto, orb 1° 44'

This planetary configuration causes distrust (Plutonian distance) towards individuals, groups, or yourown family environment (lunar values). It may bring about a feeling of affective or relational wound. Thefeeling of security is absent, or fragmented or illusive. How is it possible to feel integrated whereas youknow that you are different and on your own? It is the myth of the « ugly duckling », with its differentspecific characteristics, an alien to its origins and its roots. It is important that you accept yourdifferences and that you have them accepted by others, without forsaking your essential values. This is

how you can exercise your group ownership without allowing them to exclude you or to repress yoursecret determinations. When this aspect is well integrated, it is a factor of lucidity for your emotions. Youperceive without gullibility what is really at stake in your intimate relationships and the flaws of yourenvironment. The fact that you do not readily trust people spares you many traps and delusions.

Your AffectivityIn your chart, the Sun and Venus are both in Pisces. Pisces’ affectivity is traditionally believed to bedisconcerting. Firstly because your behaviours are impenetrable and unpredictable. The rules of thegame of love are of no concern to you since you have your own rules! You love, or you don’t love,according to criteria that may seem meaningless to many people. The detachment you display may alsobe disconcerting. Your heart cannot be imprisoned. If your beloved one is up to it, you give your lovewithout reservation. But when you are deceived, you become capable of the more complete indifference,the most radical detachment. It is possible that you always bear in mind that, as exciting as it may be, alove affair is doomed to end. It is not that you are being pessimistic, it is just that you are beingclear-sighted. You know how to provoke and to handle such break-ups, when necessary. You also knowhow to remain distant from a shaky relationship. Your thirst for the absolute cannot be satisfied withapproximations… When your partner respects the subtlety and the fragility of your affective realm, youshow an unfailing dedication and abnegation. Because you are very impressionable, you literally becomeyour significant other and you form a couple that is more than understanding and close. Indeed, you aretwin and unique!

Compassion and self-sacrifice: you are fond of this romantic mode and you are willing to express yourfeelings, the intensity of which is unlimited, Mélanie Laurent. With excitement and imagination, youdream your amorous relationships as much as you actually live through them. The line between theconcrete world and your huge hopes is so tenuous that you don't know anymore where it is, althoughyour particularly rich sensuality prompts you to experience your feelings concretely. You want to sharecommunion and passion with your partner. The lyrical flights of your feelings break from your heart aswaves that you do not attempt to control because they give you a real, almost voluptuous and carnal joy.You give a lot – sometimes too much - without reservation, almost without propriety, totally revealingyour vulnerability during your amorous exchanges because you are sure of the quality and the might ofyour feelings: they are so powerful and overwhelming that you are aware that nothing can resist them.

If there are no tense aspects with other planets in your chart, this configuration suggests that you areprone, Mélanie Laurent, to create a link between your career and the sentimental area, even though itmay come under various guises: you may be in favour with women in general and enjoy their support asyou climb the social ladder and you achieve success more quickly making use of your charm and of yourseductive ability. Sometimes, you may mingle love and career (or marriage), thus combining businesswith pleasure and indeed even… with your destiny. In other cases, you will be interested in Venusianoccupations such as the arts, aesthetics, decoration, luxury trade or diplomacy. Whatever your activity,you will appreciate it tremendously and you will feel very much at ease. You will enjoy affectivepopularity and consequently, an aura of the luck of the devil that can propel you to the top or, at least, towhere you dream of being. You are often a perfectionist and the careful zeal you dedicate to theattainment of your objectives greatly contributes to their achievement. Never do you forget them, andnothing pleases you more than to rub shoulders with important people in the higher spheres ofdiplomacy, politics or business. You love to act as the mediator or the go-between and to have your

irresistible charm duly acknowledged and rewarded. In some adverse circumstances, you may lackconstancy or perseverance in love, or this area may, to some extent, contradict your career objectives,owing to your carelessness. You may be dominated by women, lack authority or you may find yourselfdoing a balancing act between your love life and your professional life, and being unable to make achoice, thus damaging both.

Venus conjunction Mars, orb 1'

With this aspect, innate affective behaviours prevail over opportunism and calculations. You do not cheatwith feelings and you prefer to be guided by your likes … or your dislikes. Love is neither to be reasonedupon nor to be explained. It is important to experience one’s passions spontaneously and to give free reinto the heart’s tumultuous manifestations as well as to the body’s demands. In other words, to be one’strue self in the “now”. You need to live intensely, to try all kinds of situations, sometimes to get hurt.Your sensitivity is the driving force behind your decisions and your actions. Real experiences are worththe best intellectual concepts. Spurred by your thirst for emotions, you try to build your life on bases thatmatch your desires. Here, the trap may be that you pay too much attention to your moods and affects.But without them, life would be so dull. Even though emotionalism betrays you occasionally, it remainsyour best ally.

Venus square Neptune, orb -0° 29'

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 experiencing a common life that is inevitably flawed withcompromises and vagaries. The object of your affection is idealized « because it was him, 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.

Venus bi-quintile Saturn, orb -0° 02'

You favour deep feelings and a sincere affective life. In love, you are not content with shams or uncertaincompromises. Your couple’s relationship is based on mutual trust. You strive to build a lasting link, atrue love that complies with your aspirations and your heart of hearts. This harmonious Venus-Saturnaspect indicates wisdom. Inexpressible truth is preferred to appearances. A love affair is an adventure,above all. Discovering the other one, step by step… any relationship takes a fundamental dimensionright away. It is relevant to mention a little puff of romanticism and a passionate nature, although quitemodest and reserved. You do not commit yourself thoughtlessly! This is a major asset for long lastinglove. You are able to question your affective behaviour and to adjust to your significant other. You handlecrises quite well and you overcome all the difficulties inherent to amorous rapports.

Venus inconjunction Pluto, orb -1° 05'

Nothing is simple in love. You consider your love life with a distant and remote glance. You do notbelieve in obvious, transparent relationships. Love is a complex issue and its machinery is beyond you.To avoid delusions and indifference, the rules must be changed. Your feelings are alternately cruel and

passionate, distant and burning, often paradoxical. Are you the executioner or the victim? Powerstruggles are omnipresent in your affective life. You seem unable to take life as it comes and to lovewithout asking yourself questions, without doubting. You often love those who are indifferent towardsyou, while you despise those who love you. It is important that you change your attitude if you want asmooth and happy life. Rely on your forte: an indisputable lucidity that makes it impossible to deludeyour heart.

The Way You Take Action and Your SexualityYou express your energy in a vague and random manner, Mélanie Laurent. This is not a handicap, but itprevents you from reasonably planning your long-term actions. You are a bit whimsical and scattered,sometimes hyperactive and willing to devour obstacles with your big shark teeth, but often, you take theeasy way out because of your desire for tranquillity. You loathe conflicts and your cleverness and yourflexibility allow you to achieve your goals while shrewdly worming your way through difficulties. Yourintuition and your imagination are the assets that compensate your lack of efficiency and discipline. Youare much more successful when you work for a noble cause, usually a collective one, sometimes politicalor spiritual ones. On the sexual plane, you are whimsical and impossible to categorize. You are sochanging and malleable that you can shift from one extreme to another, according to your partner'spersonality, because your adaptability and your flexibility are really strong.

Your energy and your capacity for action are at the service of your career and your destiny, MélanieLaurent : No doubt, this is one of the simplest and most transparent planetary configurations. You donot hesitate. For you, action means climbing up the social ladder, sooner or later, winning the marshal’sbaton, defeating setbacks through efforts and work, and overcoming the obstacles on your path.

You get your reward by the sweat of your brow, and you are aware that it is no easy business. Yourpersonal approach is that nothing can be achieved without an effort because you are wise enough to beaware of it.

It is so deeply rooted in you that you may feel that you will get nothing if you do not fight for it. You areright, actually, at least as far as you are concerned, because it is your manner. Your destiny implies manystruggles, and you have the necessary courage to join battle. However, as time unfolds, try to be gentlewith yourself and indulge in a few moments of well-deserved rest and respite!

Mars square Neptune, orb -1° 3'

You behave like a bohemian person and you are led by an ideal that you may not control. Your passionsare undoubtedly sincere. However, you may target wrong objectives. You engage on hopeless strugglesand meaningless confrontations. It is important that you watch out for fanaticisms from all sides and thatyou remain clear-sighted in the face of your exalted feelings. Your sincerity may work wonders when youchampion lost causes. The most difficult thing is probably to keep your exacerbated sensitivity undercontrol. Because you are deeply moved by facts, because you are sensitive to injustices and to the world’swoes more than the average people, you embark on incessant battles, at the risk of undergoing a fewdelusions, on occasions.

Mars inconjunction Pluto, orb -2° 05'

There is a limit to your respect for laws and norms! Morals, conventions, social marks are of little value toyou. With a touch of anarchy in the soul, you disregard conventions and you experience a sort of personalrevolution. You prefer unconventional actions to dull conformism. To express your differences, you use awide scope of possibilities that ranges from brewing revolt to ideological renunciation. Sometimes, youdismiss concrete facts that are nevertheless unavoidable. Hence, you undergo delusions and backlashes.You may also act rashly, to the detriment of your ideals. It is important that you control your actions andthat you balance the respect for constraints with your personal demands and inner motivations.

Mars bi-quintile Saturn, orb -1° 02'

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 indisputableperseverance. 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!

Your Intellect and Your Communication StyleYou are a “free-thinker”, Mélanie Laurent, and you tackle problems with a swift and efficient mind.Freedom, progress and originality are your driving forces. You are resolutely future-oriented and withingenuity and inventiveness, you reform what is outgrown and you constantly innovate: psychology,computer sciences, new technologies... have almost no secret for you. Your human and idealist qualitiesare obvious, you are a very pleasant and interesting interlocutor, even though your rebellious andrevolutionary side may be criticized. Indeed, you seem to be driven by a strong argumentativeness: youseldom share your friends' views and, although you may come across as obstinate, intransigent andunpleasant, you do not hesitate to speak the truth! Instead of causing sudden break-ups with yourfriends, it is advisable that you express your creative potential more persistently whenever your nervoustension is too high.

You need to understand, to explore the unknown, to shed light on mysteries and to immerse yourself intothe hidden fields of the unconscious or the afterlife, actually, into whatever escapes you, MélanieLaurent. You are not content with what seems obvious because you are on Earth to evolve and not tostagnate or remain in a mindless state and a lack of understanding.

Interestingly enough, astrology connects the spheres of death, after-life and mysteries with the spheres ofother people's possessions, investments, inheritances etc. This analogy probably comes from the factthat in those two fields, everything remains inaccessible right away. It might be the reason why suchmysterious topics are so attractive to you.

Your investigative mind enables you to easily express your feelings and to explain the inner mechanismsof your whole being, almost as if your own self was a specimen to study, without modesty and with theonly motivation to go as far and as deeply as possible.

Mercury sextile Jupiter, orb 0° 11'

You display strong abilities for adaptation, social insertion and various learning capacities. You arecredited with an acute sense of relations, probably because you can speak other people’s language. Youeasily assimilate the most varied settings and your qualities are acknowledged. Your attitude and thewords you use have the power to seduce and to convince your entourage. Diplomacy is an asset in yourgame. You are fit for negotiation and you seek compromise solutions. The only danger may be thatsometimes, you too readily accept agreements that turn out to be less positive than foreseen, after awhile. This is the other side of the coin for your exceptional flexibility and your unquestionable tact.

Mercury sextile Uranus, orb 0° 24'

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!

Moon trine Mercury, orb 3° 2'

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 Saturn, orb 4° 57'

This Mercury-Saturn dissonance does not allow for simple and spontaneous relations. Your vision of theworld is complex. You are sensitive to the fragileness of human relations and you are doubtful oftransparent situations. You need to look for hypothetical calculations and you suspect that unclearreasons are underlying beneath dialogues and encounters. Your sociability is limited. You are a lonerbecause you dread relationships and you trust very few people among your close friends. You askyourself more questions than you can find answers! Therefore, you are on the look out, troubled by theunknown. Everything is subjected to your questionings. It seems difficult to find certainties and to besatisfied with commonplaces that cannot soothe your doubting mind. The forte of this aspect is that itbrings about undisputable capacities for discernment. Although your lucidity may hinder your relations,it also grants a lasting protection against gullibility. By nature, you belong to the category of the sceptics!

Your Goals, Motivations, Career, and DestinyYour Sun is posited in the 9th House

Mélanie Laurent, early in life, you apply to yourself the saying "No man is a prophet in his owncountry". Since you were a little girl, you had the impression that something in you was different andcould not be understood by your close friends. Your natal environment prompts you to venture into

unknown territories and remote lands, where you hope your real talents and qualities will beacknowledged. You are more comfortable when you are away from home because of your rebellious mind, because youfeel different or because of an awareness which stems from your good sense: what attracts you is far toooriginal, compared to what your family or your roots may offer or may apprehend. This peculiarity may take various forms, depending on your destiny and your personality: an inclinationor a strong aspiration for distant trips, higher and abstract studies, higher knowledge, spirituality,philosophy, religion, moral or culture. You are also interested in occupations allowing you to meet yourneed to be elsewhere, physically or intellectually, such as for instance, the positions of ambassador,judge, exporter, philosopher, researcher, university teacher, reporter or in any job with the clergy.

It is clear that your social status can be improved in places located far from your home. Your ambitionsare not hampered because you are favoured and predisposed for international contacts, or for contactsthat are different from your natal environment. You have no problem learning foreign languages and youstudy this area with the certainty that you are forging valuable assets for the rest of your life.

Your self-assertion and your success go through experiences abroad or connected with foreigners.

As you mature, there is a spiritual, moral or intellectual brilliance linked to higher knowledge thatradiates from you. It may also be due to the fact that you are dedicated to a noble cause for which yousincerely spare no effort.

When great planetary configurations of tension are formed in very few moments of your life, you may beaffected by illnesses or fevers contracted abroad; or in your profession, where foreign matters areinvolved, you may have to bear the consequences of conflicts that tarnish your prestige or your honour.What constitutes your strength does not exclude cautiousness. Too much ease may lead to unforeseensituations: even though this applies obviously to all life areas, it is certain that, when exotic trips areinvolved, or figuratively, when you take intellectual, moral or spiritual stands, you must cautiously stepback and show restraint.

The ruler of your chart is in the 12th 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 chart is in the 12th House, Mélanie Laurent. Your private and inner life is of utmostimportance to you. "To have a happy life, live unexposed" is a proverb that you can apply to yourself.You are particularly fond of quietness, and sometimes even of solitude. You steer clear of agitation andhubbub, and you prefer to dedicate yourself to values you deem essential, without making any noise.

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:

Sun trine Saturn, orb -2° 02'

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.

Sun trine Pluto, orb 2° 55'

This harmonious Sun-Pluto aspect indicates an exemplary clear-sighted mind. Without destabilizingyour appearances or your personality mask, Pluto makes you aware of your subjective and questionablecharacter, as well as of your manner. You never take yourself completely seriously. You have a goodgrasp of human nature’s complex games, without gullibility, without excessive simplification. Becauseyou can perceive hidden elements underlying any situation better than anyone else, you areacknowledged as perspicacious. This aspect allows you to distance yourself from difficult circumstancesand to remain impassive when you must overcome pitfalls.

Moon square Midheaven, orb -4° 32'

There is a dissonance between the Moon and your Midheaven, Mélanie Laurent. It may indicate adiscrepancy between your sensitivity and the goals you set for yourself in life, although this dissonanceseldom plays out dramatically. You may feel that your emotions sometimes catch you off your guard insociety, and that the level of your popularity is not too satisfactory, without your knowing the reasonswhy. In some cases, females may thwart your social ascent.

Sun sextile Neptune, orb 3° 3'

This harmonious Sun-Neptune aspect indicates a highly developed intuition and clear-sightedness andsometimes, a sixth sense. Mental images or information drawn from the unconsciousness impress yourmind. What was only a muddled feeling turns into certainty and deep conviction. You do not necessarilyneed to justify your attitudes: you take a decision because you feel that you have to do so, although youmay not control the underlying logics. The danger is that you may follow fanciful or adventurous roads.Beliefs you cannot explain may prove wrong or over-optimistic. However, your intuition is seldommisleading. One last comment: there is often a keen curiosity for the « bizarre » and the paranormal withthis planetary aspect.

Sun square Uranus, orb -6° 34'

This Sun-Uranus dissonance indicates a dazzling will to be the centre of attention and to proclaim yourspecificity, by all means. This aspect belongs to the rebel and the revolutionary restive to all forms ofauthority and of model. To balance this interpretation, the strong need for autonomy bordering onfrenzied individualism must be highlighted. You allow nothing or no one to hinder your chosen line ofconduct. Obviously, your attitudes are inflexible. You prefer to continue to the bitter end, even when you

are wrong, rather than to be more open to people’s ideas. Tyrannical attitudes often turn against theperpetrator… However, this configuration is a powerful agent for creativity, provided your hothead andextremist nature is kept under control.

Sun square Jupiter, orb -6° 47'

This Sun-Jupiter aspect indicates a strong desire for social and professional integration but it may causea few difficulties of expression in that regard, owing to excesses or immoderation. There may bediscrepancies between your objectives and the means implemented to achieve them. The danger of thisconfiguration may be that you forsake an essential part of yourself for some ambitious but out ofproportion plan. Too many efforts of adaptation and an excess of opportunism may make you miss thetarget. It is important that you remain true to your values and that you do not seek, at any cost, to adjustyour attitudes to the situation. However, do not fall into the opposite trap: a need for the absolute thatforbids compromises, although they are so necessary. You must reconcile idealism with the demands ofthe moment, the respect for principles with the sense of timeliness. When this configuration is not wellintegrated, things get out of hand. Extravagances are glaring. They may translate into an exuberant,overly demonstrative disposition. Personal ambition turns into pride, and joviality becomesimmoderation. Outbursts of anger are frequent. However, in a reserved and cautious context, thisconfiguration reveals its positive nature.

Mars conjunction Midheaven, orb 10° 06'

Your dynamism and your capacity for action work wonders and serve your interests, thanks to theconjunction of Mars with your Midheaven, Mélanie Laurent. You undoubtedly have strong courage andfighting spirit, which enables you to achieve your professional goals, or your career progression, eventhough they imply struggles. More often than not, you triumph. As the French saying goes, "We triumphwithout glory when we conquer without danger"... Nevertheless, do not be too reckless. There is also apossibility that your profession is related to activities symbolised by Mars, such as the police,fire-fighting, surgery, metallurgy, the military, butchery, competition sports, etc.

Saturn sesqui-quadrate Midheaven, orb -2° 09'

Saturn is in dissonance with your Midheaven, Mélanie Laurent. Of course, nothing really serious is to befeared. It is just that sometimes, you feel that an unfair slowness keeps on delaying the achievements youdeem that you deserve right now. You must work twice as hard to climb up the rungs of success, andabove all, you must not get disheartened. Effort is one of the values you must work on, and it is apunishment by no means. It is obvious that your goals are achievable, but you must remain on the righttrack and show perseverance. That's all!

Your Assets and Your Part of JovialityThis is the best possible position for the planet of Greater Fortune in your chart, Mélanie Laurent! Itoffers a lot of human warmth (or it counterbalances introversion, if such propensity is indicatedelsewhere in your chart), the taste for travels, optimism, vitality and an enterprising mind. You aremobile and you have a large vision. Wisdom starts with the ability to consider life from a different angleand to put all things into perspective!

For you, Mélanie Laurent, nature's present is the luck of the devil that protects you against illnesses andbrings about joie de vivre in your daily work. Therefore, your health and your work environment are your

constant sources of satisfaction. Your value is duly appreciated, and you are popular and helpful.

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 SidePerspicacity and profundity, and ability to dissect your passions. You manage to add a dose of reasoninto the analysis of your most intense moods, and you learn to step back from them. Your instincts arewell-controlled, sometimes, a bit too much.

Because you are very serious and solemn, the realm of feelings, parties, leisure and childhood, as well astopics related to trivial and charming things, are unknown to you, Mélanie Laurent. Profundity andwisdom are invaluable qualities in many life areas. However, in the fields of entertainments andpleasures, it is undoubtedly necessary to let animality and spontaneity be freely expressed.

Your challenge is to sometimes forget your cautiousness, your intellect and your wisdom. It seemsunimportant, but it is your whole approach to life that is to be reviewed and... altered. Keep what isalready yours – deep feelings, loyalty, sense of responsibilities – but relax totally. The only possibledanger is to garner moments of pleasure. And they are indispensable!

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 isposited 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 Scorpio reinforces your resistance. Your demand for precision and your will to comprehend allthings may make you seem a bit tough or harsh to your entourage. Because you are fond of precision,you are interested in exact sciences; your capacity to understand mysteries is strengthened. You learn tocontrol your instincts, even though it may be detrimental to your spontaneity.

A Few Special PointsYour Uniqueness and Your Utopias

Your daily life is subject to numerous sudden developments. Your work environment is neither stable norquiet, as dramatic turns of events often follow one another. The absence of habits and stability could beconsidered to be … habitual!

Relations in the work setting are quite chaotic. You are often deemed extravagant, but also inspired andcreative, at least in your environment. Besides, your occupation is out of the ordinary. It belongs to anoriginal or avant-garde sector, to innovative technologies or to unusual areas.

Health wise, you may undergo nervousness or some brutal reversals that are followed by similarly swiftrecoveries.

Your Inspiration and Your Illusions

Your approach to daily life and your behaviour in your work environment are whimsical and abide by onesingle law: your mood or your feelings of the moment!

Although it may be detrimental to your own organization, it also endows you with qualities such as beingeasy-going, helpful, and ready to give assistance to those whom you perceive as nice persons.

Your health is quite fragile and, if the emotional sphere is unsatisfactory, you may transfer your moods tothe physical plane and, for instance, you may be affected by allergies or problems difficult to identify.

Your Passion and Your Authority

Your sentimental life and the way you approach leisure are intense, even obsessive. You are willing toexperience amorous passions where love and hatred closely cohabit!

You are creative, and you want to influence your children and your love conquests. You never take thingslightly and, sooner or later, your love games and your entertainments may take a worrisome turn becauseyou commit yourself too deeply.

Your sentimental relationships may be tinted with sadomasochism. If you are careful to keep it light,there is no reason why you should get into trouble.

Happy gambling is part of the possible characteristics of this quite pleasant configuration. You muststep back in order to be able to handle it properly.

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, Mélanie Laurent, the ten main planets are distributed as follows:

Mélanie Laurent, the predominance of planets in the Southern hemisphere prompts you to take action,to draw attention on yourself, and to make your actions and what you have in mind visible to everyone.Sometimes, without giving a single thought to, and to the detriment of, a richer inner life and a deeperand wiser reflection. Action and communication are inevitable in your opinion and you tend to think thatthe only thing that matters is what is seen! This is not always true, and it is up to you to progress throughthe development of inner qualities such as meditation, solitude and imagination so as to becomestronger.

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

Mélanie Laurent, here is the planetary repartition in your Eastern and your Western hemispheres:

Mélanie Laurent, the East and West sides are well balanced in your chart. This means that you are nottoo determined or authoritarian, and that you are neither impressionable nor fragile. You are capable oftaking decisions, in full awareness, without anyone's help when circumstances so require. However, youhave no problem taking your entourage's viewpoints into consideration, with tact and intelligence.

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 Yinenergy, the passive polarity, Mélanie Laurent: you are quite introverted, imaginative and sometimesdiscreet, but you are a deep and wise person who is not content with just noisy and flashy things. Attimes, you doubt but you think that those who don't are a bit... thoughtless. Allow yourself to take morelaid-back attitudes and put your reserve aside, because good equilibrium is always healthier.

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.

Cadent houses, namely the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th houses, are very emphasized in your chart, MélanieLaurent. They indicate important potential for communication, adaptability and flexibility. These housesare symbolically linked to the mind and intellect. The relative weakness implied by these characteristicsindicates your tendency to hesitate or to be indecisive, but also your remarkable ability to start off again,which is a nice quality, finally: you can easily get yourself out of a tight spot thanks to your mobility andcasualness, in the best sense of the term. This group of houses corresponds to evolutionarycharacteristics of your personality. However, they are only indications and you must include them in therest of your chart in order to see whether 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 first decanate, which means the part between 0° and 10° of any zodiacal sign, prevails in your natalchart, Mélanie Laurent: this decanate is traditionally linked to vitality and physical constitution, and mayindicate that you efficiently express your concrete energy on the material and sensual planes.

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.

Your entourage respects your manner: you belong to the category of persons who arouse their closefriends' consideration because of their straightforward, sometimes rigid attitude. The concern that youmust "maintain your rank" may increase the severity of your judgments and lead to intransigence. Youare sensitive to the prestige of your social standing and you show an acute sense of responsibilities sinceyour youth. You become an adult early in life and you always avoid dependency. Your life's challenge isto learn to handle your intimate and family life as well as you manage your career. In the private sphere,you may undergo difficulties: you are a real loner and you turn down any help and affection offered byyour entourage. You deny yourself the sweetness of a comfortable and reassuring home. However, astime goes by, you will overcome your reluctance and you will allow what you most value, deep down:love and tenderness to blossom within a privileged relationship, within a family...

Your doings indicate the challenge to dedicate an important part of yourself to devotion and abnegation.Life imposes a few sacrifices on you, whether agreed upon (and voluntarily taken up) or imposed bydaily vagaries. Very early you showed a sharp critical sense and your attitudes were rational, logical andreasonable, although individidualistic. As time goes by, you learn to make concessions and to offer anessential part of yourself so as to outgrow the "every man for himself" principle. Ordeals are meaningful:people may not respond to your games and your entourage may thwart your plans and your ambitions...You may need to achieve the "old souls" detachment, those beings who have learnt that only essentialsare to be kept – inner life or survival- and who know that this world "petty things" are vain. Better thananyone else, you cope with situations of crisis because, whatever the circumstances, there is a hiddenspiritual dimension and a springboard for evolution. You will slowly get to know the art of acceptingthings without going back on what you have said or done. Compassion and altruism become the centraltheme of your life.

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 shetouches. 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.

It is in the humanitarian field that rebellion is best expressed. Your dream is to become the spearhead fora different project of society, the Quixote of altruism. Each individual must be independent, really free tothink and to act. Any hindrance to free will makes you indignant! The danger is that you may not tolerateany external constraint. This is probably the price to be paid for a freedom of thought that constitutes thecore of your progression.

The notion of freedom takes a special meaning: to be free does not only mean being able to move as youplease here and there, nor does it mean having a few hours of leisure available. Above all, it means beingable to lead a spiritual quest, to access a different dimension in life: to encounter, to travel, to love and tonever be hampered by contingencies, never be slowed down by daily life. That'll take some doing! Thecomfortable routine of the contemporary world, in this regard, puts you off.

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.

Retrograde Planets

The karmic tradition insists on the issues related to the so-called retrograde planets. They are consideredto be the inheritance of a past that was not well experienced, a sort of unfinished business. Theinterpretations of the retrogradation may seem negative or excessive to you. However, you may relate toa scenario that you have often and repeatedly experienced... as if you underwent several setbacks that allhave the same cause. Until the day you become aware of it and you can free yourself from it! Through theslow integration of these planetary energies, you will be able to overcome your difficulties and to payyour karmic debt. Actually, each retrograde planet highlights an opportunity for evolution. Nothing canbe achieved without the will to grow spiritually and to defeat your own demons.

The karma associated with Saturn may border on self-censorship: during your childhood, particularly,you were doubtful of your abilities and your talents. You had a propensity to put yourself is a no-winsituation and to under-estimate yourself. Obstacles abound: taboos and prohibitions of all kind slowdown your evolution. Little by little, you learn to re-evaluate your possibilities and to gain moreself-confidence. Your personal rigour then turns out to be constructive: you are not destabilized by lifeordeals and you practice a self-discipline that favours steady evolution. Although your path may be steep,it is nonetheless safe.

Pluto retrograde suggests power issues and mishandled relations: for you, everything comes down topower struggles, submission and domination, Machiavellian manoeuvres, including within your couple...The results are complex behaviours and an obsession for the power to influence people. Yet, life teachesthat you must simplify your relations and adopt more transparent attitudes and healthier desires... Asyears go by, you will tend towards more simplicity and you will slowly discover that human energy can,and must, be at the service of the good, or of well being, in compliance with our individual progression.

N.B: modern astrology attaches less and less importance to the principles of retrograding planets.

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.
