Astrological Portrait

Introduction

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Your Dominant Modes and Elements

Novak, here are the graphs of your Elements and Modalities, based on planets' position and angles inthe twelve signs:

Like the majority of Earth signs, Novak, you are efficient, concrete and not too emotional. What mattersto you is what you see: you judge the tree by its fruits. Your ideas keep changing, words disappear, butactions and their consequences are visible and remain. Express your sensitivity, even if it meansrevealing your vulnerability. Emotions, energy and communication must not be neglected; concreteaction is meaningless if it is not justified by your heart, your intellect or your enthusiasm.

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

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.

Page 11: Novak's Astrological Portrait - Astrotheme · Novak's Astrological Portrait Introduction 2 Your Planets, Houses, Aspects, and Natal Chart 4 Preamble 7 ... various facets of your personality:

Novak, the Cardinal mode is dominant here and indicates a predisposition to action, and more exactly,to impulsion and to undertake: you are very keen to implement the plans you have in mind, to get thingsgoing and to create them. This is the most important aspect that inspires enthusiasm and adrenalin inyou, without which you can grow weary rapidly. You are individualistic (maybe too much?) and assertive.You let others strengthen and improve the constructions which you built with fervour.

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

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

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

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

Novak, here is the evaluation diagramme for your planets:

Page 12: Novak's Astrological Portrait - Astrotheme · Novak's Astrological Portrait Introduction 2 Your Planets, Houses, Aspects, and Natal Chart 4 Preamble 7 ... various facets of your personality:

The three planets that are most highlighted in your chart are Pluto, Venus and Saturn.

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

You may come across as wicked, cruel or too authoritarian, but actually you only follow your instinct,you sound people out, and you like to exert your domination simply because your vital energy is toopowerful to remain inside. You are inclined to be passionate, with hidden motivations. You aresometimes misunderstood but one of your great Plutonian assets is to go successfully through each lifeordeal with ever growing strength.

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

Saturn is part of your dominant planets: among the facets of your character, you have a grave and seriousside, wise and somewhat severe, since your concentration can be powerful, to the detriment ofcarelessness and friendliness.

You often look austere, but it is only an appearance, a kind of modesty or reserve; however, it is true thatthe Saturnian, who is fond of time, effort, asceticism, rigour and sobriety, may have popularity issues.Nevertheless, honesty and straightforwardness, reliability, as well as slow, wise and deep mental process,

although not very popular and visible qualities, eventually become noticed and appreciated. Saturnians'second part of life is usually easier and more fulfilling.

Like the Jupiterian, your Saturnian facet prompts you to seek the essential, security, and longevity.However, the difference with the former is that you will never give priority to wealth or "the bigger, thebetter" philosophy for the sake of power. Saturn, like Jupiter, symbolizes social integration, and it isusually considered positive to have a harmonic Jupiter and Saturn in one's chart because of their socialadaptation capacities.

Your vulnerability lies in your too serious and austere side, which may lead to unwanted loneliness andaffective frustration. This generally does not last because Saturnians often hide deep down a golden heartthat ends up revealing itself...

In your natal chart, the three most important signs, delineated according to the above-mentionedcriteria, are, in decreasing order of strength, Capricorn, Scorpio 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.

Capricorn is one of your dominant signs and endows you with a grave and serious style that seems tostick to you constantly. But if you have that reserved and cold side - as some extrovert people may think -on the other hand, you possess sturdy qualities: you are strong-willed and tough. Your long-term vision,your sense of duty, and your ambition are not affected by the derisory and erratic motions that seem toupset most mortals less steady than you. Besides, you are like a good wine, you age well and your naturalsolemnity or serious side paradoxically turns into an almost cheerful appearance, as you grow older. Youare actually very sensitive when it comes to love. Faithful, caring, sweet, and sensitive, your behaviour isvery different in your everyday, sentimental life. A golden heart beats under your tough and austereappearance...

With Scorpio as a dominant sign, you are a strong and astute person, complicated and passionate,sometimes destructive and intolerant, but strong-willed, tough and daring, sometimes bordering on

aggressive. So many qualities and dangers combined in one person! Obviously, this often results in anatural selection of people around you: those who stand up to you or admire you and those who can'tbear you anymore! But that is precisely what you want. You are what you are and you are not going totransform yourself just to please. You are too proud and you never dread confrontations, although yourway of fighting is secret, like your nature that, mysteriously enough, you are so reluctant to reveal even toyour close friends who will never understand you. That said... what a hellish charm you have!

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 3, 9 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.

As the 3rd house is one of the most important houses in your chart, communication plays a major role inyour life or in your deep motivations: frequent short trips, open-mindedness - which may offset a lack ofmutable signs for instance - listening, discussion, interest in learning, knowledge accumulation orlong-term studies, etc., are all areas that greatly appeal to you and are part of your daily life.

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

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, is 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 Gemini and your Ascendant is in Capricorn

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:

What a contrast between Gemini's casualness and Capricorn's sternness! Your Gemini inner selfblossoms amid a whirl of contradictory thoughts and various casual relationships. You would revel inyour daily odds and ends, if it were not for your Capricorn Ascendant. This is your dilemma becausewhen people first meet you, they cannot imagine that you so badly need to communicate and establishcontacts in all directions. Indeed, when you are in unfamiliar settings, your Capricorn Ascendant, whichinfluences your outward appearance, projects a quite opposite image, that of a distant and glacial personwho haughtily steers clear of the ongoing bustle. Moreover, Capricorn is the most organised andstructured sign of the Zodiac, and in a word, the contrary of Gemini. However, they have one feature incommon, which is that they both consider as many eclectic elements as possible, which Capricorn

translates into a long-term general vision, while Gemini keeps on cleverly juggling with all theirdisparities.

You were born with the Sun in Gemini

Your mobility is such that you are in every place where you are not expected. You spend lots of timeasking questions and… answering them. Your curiosity and your quick-wittedness are insatiable. Yourmind is in constant turmoil, hopping from one topic to another, solving problems, accumulatinganecdotes and knowledge within a short range of time. Your mobility is mostly mental, it takes you afarand turns your daily life into a mosaic of intense and pleasant moments that are not necessarily related toone another…

As you are born under this sign, you are nervous, expressive, lively and adaptable, with a quick mind anda good sense of humour. You are bubbling, playful, sociable, clever, curious, whimsical, independent,intellectual, flexible, ingenious, fanciful, imaginative, charming, cerebral, and you are into everything.You may also be whimsical, unfocused, quirky, superficial, indiscreet, opportunist, unmindful, selfish,sarcastic or mercurial.

in love, Sir, you increase the number of your love affairs, probably because you do not want to give upyour freedom too quickly. You are cerebral to the extent that games of seduction remain… a real game,where feelings and carnal pleasures are merely present.

Paradoxically, you are very charming and attractive but you are more interested in the game itself.Indeed, thrills of verbal joust, fun, the pleasure to communicate over and over again, remain the centresof your concerns.

You clearly prefer to be a bachelor because you appreciate its hustle and bustle: outings, exciting partiesor a wide range of encounters etc. However, when you meet with your soul mate, you turn into a pleasantand charming partner, although you may not be around too often!

Your Ascendant is in Capricorn

Psychologically speaking, your nature is introverted and cold, totally controlled and phlegmatic, at leastregarding the image you project invariably. You seem unemotional and austere. Actually, due to yoursecondarity, you chew over your strategies or your reactions required by your environment. You are slowbut very thoughtful, solid and balanced. You are as curt as you are cold and you put the entire strength ofyour character at the service of your huge and long-term ambition or of your detachment from earthlyriches and you focus on spiritual values.

Like all the persons born under an apparently reserved and tough sign, your inner personality is oftencharming and gentle, as if the thick armour, forged throughout childhood, had entirely preserved thepurity and the warmth of the soul imprisoned within.

As you are born under this sign, you are serious, cold, disciplined, patient, focused, thoughtful,ambitious, indomitable, cautious, lucid, persistent, provident, steady, introverted, stern, wilful,hard-working, responsible, persevering, honest, realistic, loyal, reserved, resolute, moralistic, quiet,rigorous, attached and reliable. But you may also be curt, withdrawn, calculating, petty, cruel,unpleasant, ruthless, selfish, dull, rigid, slow or sceptical.

Sir, in love, you may feel less interested than the other Zodiacal signs because you repress your feelingsand you practice so much self-control. You want to keep situations under full control, in allcircumstances, although love is the only area where progress requires a laid-back attitude, where it isnecessary to give in order to receive, all things which are difficult for you.

Therefore, you are alone for a long part of your life until you meet with the love of your life, to whom youwill be faithful and attached, beyond reproach. Capricorn has very few but intense and lasting loveaffairs.

Daily life within your couple is responsible and serious. It may not be too bubbling, but your feelings’sustainability and solidity make for your lack of spontaneity and extravagance. You may not be veryavailable, as all your time is taken up by your work and the pursuit of success. You are very keen to marrya person who can share your professional interests, which does not lessen the quality of your attachmentat all.

Your home is sound, with an atmosphere of seriousness. The effort-oriented education, which you giveyour children, is respectful of the best traditions.

The ruler of your chart is in Sagittarius

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, Novak, is Saturn. It is posited in the sign of Sagittarius and gives you astrong inclination for the open sea and for freedom. Loyal and benevolent, you put things intoperspective, and you understand the true value of things, perhaps precisely because you travel - whetheractually or mentally - and that stepping back from your intimate environment enables you to betterperceive what is important and worthy.

Aspects to your Ascendant

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

Jupiter square Ascendant, orb 2° 52'

A dissonance between Jupiter and the Ascendant is not too serious, Novak. In some circumstances, itmay cause your behaviour or your opinions to be a bit exaggerated when you are in society. Therefore,you may come across as too proud or excessive. It is up to you not to overdo, so as not to arouse yourentourage's incomprehension. This excess may also translate into a marked taste for pleasures or goodfood...

Sun sesqui-quadrate Ascendant, orb 0° 1'

There may be a contradiction between your will and your external appearance, Novak, which slows downyour natural spontaneity and in some circumstances, gives rise to doubts regarding your behaviourtowards other people and the need to be true to your own beliefs. There is certainly nothing serious with

this minor dissonance between the Sun and your Ascendant, only choices that are to be made, so as toremain in harmony with yourself.

Neptune conjunction Ascendant, orb 8° 32'

With Neptune in conjunction with your Ascendant, Novak, your intuition, your imagination, and yoursensitivity may be remarkable. You feel other people even before understanding them. You behaviour isruled by emotions and instincts rather than by reason. Besides, this beneficial aspect is often found inclairvoyants' charts, and you might be one of them, since your "radar" is so highly-developed! An aura ofmystery endows your personality and your behaviour with undeniable charm...

Mercury inconjunction Ascendant, orb 2° 07'

Sometimes, you find it hard to behave the way you wish, Novak. It is because of Mercury who is notreally in phase with your Ascendant. You happen to dislike the way you communicate, either becauseyou exceedingly intellectualise everything, or on the contrary, because you do not make the effort tothoroughly analyse the situation when you are with other people.

Page 20: Novak's Astrological Portrait - Astrotheme · Novak's Astrological Portrait Introduction 2 Your Planets, Houses, Aspects, and Natal Chart 4 Preamble 7 ... various facets of your personality:

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

Material affairs can have an importance disconnected from reality, Novak: you tend to be very emotionalabout practical matters related to your personal interests.

Maybe you unconsciously fear some kind of shortage. You seek financial security, however, it may provecounterproductive if you display too much sensitivity in a field that doesn't need any.

The way you earn money often looks like roller coasters: sometimes lucky, even very lucky, but you mayloose a lot too, because you are unable to stay Zen in all circumstances. Business requires cold blood,although emotions add charm...

Moon square Neptune, orb -2'

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

Moon square Mars, orb -4° 23'

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

Sun sextile Moon, orb -4° 16'

This aspect is a strong homogeneity factor: the image you project is in conformity with your real natureand does not upset your basic balance. This is probably the cause of your feeling at ease, your consistentbehaviour and your determination to remain your true self, regardless of external pressures and whatever

is expected from you. At best, your will and your sensitivity are in harmony, your unconscious abilitiesare mobilized and controlled by your conscious will, with no imbalance. However, it is important toavoid the traps of self-satisfaction that would be harmful to your real exchanges and would lock you upin comfortable and rigid schemes. It is possible to remain natural and yet, not be content with the solewell being of those who never cheat themselves.

Moon inconjunction Pluto, orb -2° 24'

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 ishow 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.

Moon semi-sextile Venus, orb 1'

The harmonious Moon-Venus aspect is an element of intimate balance that favours sensual and affectivefulfilment. The search of well being includes all kinds of emotions and feelings. You love, you enjoy lifein simple ways and you arouse your entourage’s affection. The persons belonging to your inner circle arealso objects of desire and pleasure. Tenderness and love are probably one and only thing: you are movedby the gestures of affection provided to you and by the daily acts which strengthen two persons’ mutualattachment. Whereas other people dread routine, in your case on the contrary, it increases your amorousfeelings. You loathe all kinds of violence, particularly in your intimate life. The danger of this planetaryconfiguration may be your constant changes of mood: whims are often on the agenda… and your will isquite weak. One last point: this aspect is frequently found in the charts of people with an aesthetic orartistic sensitivity.

Your AffectivityIn your chart, the Sun is in Gemini and Venus, in Taurus. In love as in other matters, the ideal is to neverstop quivering and discovering, and to continuously remain amazed at everything and at nothing.Gemini's ideals are strongly offset by Venus in Taurus who needs stability. Your curiosity gives you asearching soul, whereas your affective fulfilment requires time. Discovering is fine, provided that youappreciate the savour of your relationship and that you patiently build a couple that does not matureinstantaneously. Indeed, many experiences, sucesses and defeats are needed before the indispensablemutual trust can develop. Your attitudes may be disconcerting: you are looking at the same time for asteady but shifting love affair, that is long-lasting but not uneventful. When not well integrated, thisconfiguration may indicate a possessive person who is uncompromising with his personal freedom…How can one deny one's partner what one allows oneself to do? The danger is to aggravate the gapbetween your concepts and your affects, for instance to claim a mind-openness free from blinkers,whereas your feelings imply possessiveness and chronic jealousy. However, your solar and Venusiansigns complement and balance each other: Taurus' attachments stabilize and steady Gemini's erringways, a sign whose company is never boring.

There is so much voluptuousness and so much charm in your personality, Novak! You are what is calleda “nature” and when confidence is established, slowly but steadily, you become deeply attached to yourpartner and you can be filled with passion. It may take months, even years, but you are so generous andaffectionate that, in most cases, your relationship has many chances to blossom, with time. You are veryphysical and sensual and you are very keen to delight in your intimate moments. This aspect of youramorous relationship usually contributes to its sustainability. Everything seems idyllic, Novak. It wouldbe so if your jealousy and your possessiveness did not get started simultaneously with your powerfulfeelings. But you have so many assets, so be content!

With such a configuration, Novak, you are inclined to scattering regarding the expression of yourfeelings which can easily get carried away in your multiple relationships or within your surroundings. The medium to express your feelings often consists in shared interests for cultural, journalistic orscientific knowledge and frequent short trips. In a way, they lead you to open up more easily, may bebecause you want to ensure that you don’t commit yourself more seriously than you really wish to.Correspondences are high on your agenda, ranging from exchanging letters, via the Internet - ohvirtuality…! - to telephone talks. Indeed, you tremendously enjoy communicating in this superficial anda bit distant fashion where you know best how to open up and blend love and friendship without askingyourself too many questions. You are sometimes a SMS champion, always happy with changes andthoughtlessness. For you, undertaking a sole commitment is near to impossible.…

Venus opposite Pluto, orb -1° 24'

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 andpassionate, 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.

Venus trine Neptune, orb -0° 59'

Your sentimental life unfolds like a strange dream. Love is too delicate to be tamed or controlled. Youfollow your heart impulses in an idyllic ambiance, far from reality’s ordinary constraints, far fromconventions and conformism. You exude a particular charm, discreet and subtle. But your affectivity maybe disconcerting. You are very sensitive to marks of affection and tenderness, although you are awarethat love cannot be bought or won. What is meant to be will be and it is impossible to know the howsand the whys behind a prevailing harmony. The obvious danger is that you may refuse to make any effortin such conditions. Living as a couple must feel natural and you do not need to objectively build thefoundations of a relationship. You are an idealist and you dream of an affective paradise, which may betoo good to be true…

Venus sextile Mars, orb -5° 23'

With this aspect, innate affective behaviours prevail over opportunisms and calculations. You do notcheat with feelings and you prefer to be guided by your likes … or your dislikes. Love is neither to bereasoned upon nor to be explained. It is important to experience one’s passions spontaneously and togive free rein to the heart’s tumultuous manifestations as well as to the body’s demands. In other words,

to be one’s true self in the “now”. You need to live intensely, to try all kinds of situations, sometimes toget hurt. Your sensitivity is the driving force behind your decisions and your actions. Real experiencesare worth the best intellectual concepts. Spurred by your thirst for emotions, you try to build your life onbases that match your desires. Here, the trap may be that you pay too much attention to your moods andaffects. But without them, life would be so dull. Even though emotionalism betrays you occasionally, itremains your best ally.

Venus sesqui-quadrate Saturn, orb 2° 24'

This Venus-Saturn dissonance indicates a demanding, complex and often challenged affectivity. You arewondering about the meanings of love, pleasure and emotions. Your passions take an absolute characterright away. No compromise, no sham must stain your sentimental life. In such a context, doubtsabound. This aspect prompts you to review the roots of your affectivity, so as to find the assurance youlack and to soothe your dormant sentimental anxiety. Love is an eternal and endless quest. Because youare doubtful of the affection people have for you, you may never feel that you are really loved. Youraffective behaviour reveals your uncertainties: tests and challenges follow one another until, eventually,you are certain to experience a love that meets your demands. It is obvious that on the sentimental area,you are not looking for the easy way out.

The Way You Take Action and Your SexualityIt is difficult to find a more sensitive person than you, Novak. You are able to contain youraggressiveness and it may be hard for you to exteriorize your feelings. You are usually passive and youdraw your strength from inertia and resistance more than from the will to take action. Your mood ischanging, you show little of yourself and you may surprise with your inopportune reactions that comelate, when people have forgotten what it was all about. The only area where you express yourself withzeal and where your actions are successful is the area of home or, more symbolically, in the fields whereyou can achieve security. In other words, you need to feel comfortable before you can move, in concretematters as well as in sexuality.

It is in the area of your work environment that you are most active and pugnacious, Novak. Or in yourdaily life, if you do not work.

You are a hard-worker, completely dedicated to the service of others: being helpful and efficient is yourbattle horse. Indeed, it is so obvious! Ask the opinion of your colleagues or your entourage… Yourefficiency is not to be proved. You get things moving, you progress, you are very keen to improveyourself, and your boss can only rejoice that his staff contributes so actively.

The areas of health and pets are traditionally favoured by this planetary configuration. However, docheck your Mars’ aspects if you intend to be a tamer!

In any case, the daily work sphere is the area where you can deliver to the best of your abilities, in termsof action. The only reservation may be not to overdo.

Mars opposite Uranus, orb -5° 27'

This Uranus-Mars dissonance indicates frequent commotions. Your actions may be foolhardy andthoughtless. You may not control your temper and you let impulsiveness take over logics. This brings

about drastic, whimsical or untimely decisions. There is no monotony in your life: thunders andtyrannical behaviour are on the agenda! Your fighting spirit certainly allows you to cope with lifehardships. Nevertheless, beware of damages. As one wants to act as a hero, one can make mistakes.Because forces are overestimated or because inflexibility forbids compromise solutions. Therefore, it isimportant to balance your decisions and to avoid solutions that are as final as inappropriate.

Mars opposite Neptune, orb -6° 23'

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.

Sun semi-sextile Mars, orb -0° 06'

This planetary Sun-Mars aspect reinforces courage, determination and energy. The need for action isobvious. Whatever your will designs is implemented with fieriness, despite all oppositions. You aredecisive and wilful, even foolhardy. Your behaviour may be heroic: you know how to face adversity, tostand for your rights and your decisions, regardless of the confrontations you may have to cope with. Theonly danger may be that you overestimate your chances and your strength. But your audacity turns out tobe rewarding, more often that not.

Mars quintile Jupiter, orb 0° 12'

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

Mars trine Pluto, orb 6° 47'

You have a very personal way of taking action and of experiencing confrontations and struggles. Thelaws of the world are subtle, often with complex and hidden mechanisms. For these reasons, you preferto act behind the scenes rather than openly. You manage your daily life in a distant and subtle fashionwhile you try to understand the logic underlying observed facts. You may also provoke events althoughyou act as if you were not concerned. Your interventions will be as efficient as they are discreet. You maysecretly transform your life and you live through the inexpressible motivations that connect you with theinvisible realm. Things, which cannot be formulated, must be experimented and felt. You testexperiences that your entourage find uninteresting and meaningless.

Your Intellect and Your Communication StyleNovak, an enquiring intelligence, an instant understanding and a wide range of interests prompt you togo towards other people in all circumstances with a view to exchanging ideas and to show your talent forrepartee. Ideas and actions must be quick and you are likely to be impatient, even critical and sarcasticwith people who cannot match your frantic rhythm. You are very adaptable, you can do several differentthings at the same time and also think of a future action because you constantly need to be on the move.You may be criticized for your superficiality, for spreading yourself too thin and for your propensity toconceal the truth, but you always get out of tricky situations incredibly well because you are very astute,shrewd and charming.

Your thoughts, Novak, are irresistibly attracted to hobbies and entertainments, or you may beparticularly oriented towards creation if you are dealing with something amusing.

Your way of communicating is often pleasant, charming, you are the type who blends humour and charmin your speeches and who can spend many hours telling about your hobbies and detailing them with fire.This state of mind is favourable for love affairs or children's education. Your playful spirit often amazeschildren.

Mercury opposite Saturn, orb -0° 55'

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!

Mercury sextile Jupiter, orb -0° 45'

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 opposite Uranus, orb -7° 3'

You are the champion for useless intellectual speculations, for crazy and revolutionary ideas. ThisMercury-Uranus dissonance is the signature for an eccentric character, more ready to ridicule generallyaccepted ideas than to build up stable patterns. Your sense of humour reveals a critical and forcefulmind. You can stand for an idea in the face of all opposition but you do not hesitate to support theopposite thesis the day after… with the same conviction. The coherence of your points of view is harmedby these spectacular reversals that constitute your speciality. In the relationship area, you may alsoprovoke dramatic turns of events if your ideas are conflicted. The good news is that it seems difficult to

convince you to accept points of view running counter to your principles. Intransigence also has itsvirtues.

Moon quintile Mercury, orb 0° 39'

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.

Your Goals, Motivations, Career, and DestinyYour Sun is posited in the 4th House

Unless salient factors indicate otherwise, Novak, your nature is not very extroverted and your tendency isto keep to yourself emotions that may run very deep. Your will prompts you to create some sort ofsecurity, or cocoon, around you. You are deeply attached to your family and to your initial home. You need this cosy and warmatmosphere, your parents' love and your family security, and later you reproduce them in your adult'shome. Such strong bonds with your family and your home benefit your self-assertion as they combineprofessional efforts with presence at home. Working at home is particularly suitable, as are, indirectly,professions related to genealogy or even more, to real estate, because you are comfortable with thesecurity aspects of the places you visit.

Your father often plays a major role, possibly an excessive one, with the danger that he may smother yourdesire for freedom and autonomy and contribute to aggravate your already strong natural introversion.

You are what is called belated and it is mainly during the second part of your life that you can concretelyand efficiently exercise your will. Your assets lie in your determination to build a stable and comfortablehome. However, family conflicts may exist and you may quarrel with your father over authority mattersor over your projects; later, you may even undergo this sort of troubles in your own home if you are notflexible enough.

The ruler of your chart is in the 11th 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 11th House, Novak. This position often reinforces your sociability andyour need for friendship, or sometimes when this is not the case, for all sorts of cooperation, whethersocial or political. You need to make friends, to share, and it often happens that your life with yourfriends or in society is much more fulfilling than your family life. You are granted - or you seek - reliableprotection and support.

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:

Jupiter trine Saturn, orb -0° 1'

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

Pluto conjunction Midheaven, orb 6° 14'

Pluto is in conjunction with your Midheaven, Novak. This very powerful aspect indicates that you careermay have a fatality nature in the sense that, as with all trans-Saturnian planets (Uranus, Neptune, andPluto), events of the collective category may deeply influence your personal destiny. Pluto is the planet ofsecret power, domination, unspoken words, taboos, police forces, and investigations. Therefore,depending on the other configurations found in your natal chart, it is possible that your career or yoursocial destiny inherits a Plutonian note, and is connected with mysteries, sexuality, inherited money, orsome sort of occult power, such as the grey eminences or leaders working in the dark.

Venus opposite Midheaven, orb -7° 38'

Venus is in opposition to your Midheaven, Novak. It is not strictly speaking a dissonance since at thesame time, this aspect is also a conjunction with your Imum Coeli which symbolises your home, yourroots, and your family. Thus, it is obvious that your charm and the way you express your feelings workbetter in private circles than in society. When you do not feel in security, you are quite reluctant todisplay warmth, which may give the impression that your career or your destiny is a bit in thebackground, compared to what it might be if you did not feel this vulnerability, which is incidentallyquite nice...

Sun bi-quintile Neptune, orb -0° 17'

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.

Mars sesqui-quadrate Midheaven, orb -1° 58'

Because Mars is in dissonance with your Midheaven, in some circumstances, you may feelmisunderstood, Novak. In society, you may even feel hostility towards you as you try to climb up thesteps of your professional life, or when you strive to reach a higher social status. Your efforts may beresented. You must be twice as careful as you usually are and tone down your behaviour in order not tobe rude to other people, even though from your viewpoint, and it is actually most often the case, it onlyhas to do with misunderstandings or some eagerness on your part.

Your Assets and Your Part of JovialityThe planet of Greater Fortune in this sign favours self-confidence, Novak, as well as the capacity to beenthused and to show your warmth. Your most valuable asset is your ability to easily express yourfieriness and your ardour for the implementation of your projects. However, the danger is that yourself-assurance may become an agent for rebellion or for indiscipline, in which case, it would play outagainst your interests.

Novak, the position of the planet of Greater Fortune in this astrological house brings about easyinterpersonal relations, your siblings' love, great communication abilities within your neighbourhood,and pleasant short trips throughout your life.

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 Aries amplifies your tendency to charge ahead and your self-assertiveness. Your haveleadership qualities, you are optimistic and you can mix the boldness with the will to succeed that arespecific to Aries. Management ability, leadership and independence: your enthusiasm is a real asset foryour life and for your charm!

Your Serious SideYou thoroughly analyse and criticise the values of freedom, your desires for evasion, and yourphilosophical concepts. You have your feet firmly on the ground, and you prefer to progress on familiargrounds, step by step, but in depth.

As soon as you become a member of a community, and when you are surrounded with people or withfriends, you instinctively protect yourself, and you even hide, Novak. There is nothing you can do againstthis. In public, you do not show your real face, but in friendship, you are loyal and reliable.

You prefer quality to quantity, and your friends have every reason to be happy that they won yourconfidence because they know that they can rely on you under all circumstances. Your friends are usuallymuch older and more seasoned than you.

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 Sagittarius limits your taste for exoticism and for rebellion. On the other hand, he strengthensyour sense of responsibilities and your authority. You focus on what is concrete and real and you avoidventuring into unknown territories.

A Few Special PointsYour Uniqueness and Your Utopias

It is within a setting of secrecy or of isolation that unexpected events may suddenly occur. Sometimes, itmay be on the occasion of unpredictable events that isolation settles, be it a context of exile, forcedsolitude such as illness, or imprisonment caused by enmities or by fate.

Great satisfaction may also occur in a secret context. It may be a hidden love affair, an activity carriedout in the dark or an association with a person whose identity cannot be revealed.

The areas of the occult or of secrets (espionage, police, secret society, etc.) are frequent causes forchange in the course of your destiny. Reversals and incomprehensible disruptions may give you theopportunity to understand that the persons whom you considered as your friends do not side with you, orsometimes, more happily, you realize that the persons whom you considered as your sworn enemies areactually of invaluable help and support, and that they even become… your friends!

Your Inspiration and Your Illusions

You may be particularly sensitive to other people's sufferings and you want to dedicate yourself to ahumanitarian cause. Your psychical life may be so intense that it brings about moments of lonelinessthat you use to transform yourself and to live through your ideals in sheer sincerity.

These moments of solitude may upset you. Undefined worries or hidden enemies may cause troubles, ina few rare occurrences.

In any case, this configuration is not negative as such, because there is an analogy between the planetNeptune, the 12th house, and Pisces. Your compassion and your emotional content may work wondersin your surroundings, and at the same time, they make you evolve spiritually.

Your Passion and Your Authority

Your capacity for concentration and your mental power are your major assets for the study of higherknowledge and ideological concepts. You also tend to get away from your usual geographical cocoon!You are inhabited by passion and persistence, and you do not resist the temptation to explore foreignlands or to thoroughly explore ideas.

Besides, once you enter those attractive fields, it is most likely that you become deeply transformed andshattered. Nothing is any more what it used to be, and this is precisely what your unconscious suspectedwhen you were magnetically drawn towards these remote realms.

Sometimes, these transformations may deeply hurt you, but isn't it the only way to change and evolve?Otherwise, all the benefits are yours: adrenaline increased by the passion and creativity of the moment,along with the happiness to be spiritually enriched, later on.

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, Novak, the ten main planets are distributed as follows:

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

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

to the Imum Coeli.

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

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

Novak, the East and West sides are well balanced in your chart. This means that you are not toodetermined 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.

N.B.: this dominant is a minor one. It is not essential that you read its meaning in the beginning. Youcan get back to them later on, once you have read more important interpretations.

According to the disposition and qualities of your planets and angles, you are rather influenced by Yinenergy, the passive polarity, Novak: you are quite introverted, imaginative and sometimes discreet, butyou are a deep and wise person who is not content with just noisy and flashy things. At times, you doubtbut you think that those who don't are a bit... thoughtless. Allow yourself to take more laid-back attitudesand 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.

N.B.: this dominant is a minor one. It is not essential that you read its meaning in the beginning. Youcan get back to them later on, once you have read more important interpretations.

Cadent houses, namely the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th houses, are very emphasized in your chart, Novak.They indicate important potential for communication, adaptability and flexibility. These houses aresymbolically 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, Novak: this decanate is traditionally linked to vitality and physical constitution, and may indicatethat 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.

You have obvious sociability qualities. You know better than others how to adjust to a new context andto copy your entourage's behaviour exactly. You do not dissociate yourself from groups or cells (social,family), on the contrary, you frequently adopt flexible attitudes that meet other people's expectations.This may translate into a lack of fighting spirit. You may not dare to go against prevailing fashions andcurrents. Because you dread unknown situations, you may miss the opportunity to innovate. It isimportant that you learn to go it alone and to get rid of scruples that hamper your doings: life encouragesyou to leave aside other people's opinions and, as time goes by, to find your autonomy of thought andaction. While keeping your sociable nature, it is important that you develop a sense of individualinitiative. In many situations, one can only rely on oneself. In such cases, you have the possibility toachieve the freedom many people dream of, without really giving themselves the means to implement it.Do not allow your entourage to dictate your way of life, over and over again. However, do not fall into theopposite excess: the frenzied individualism of those who value nothing except their own interest! Yourlife's purpose may be to master your destiny.

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

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.

You pay special attention to your familiar and intimate realm: an importance and a demand, too. You arein search of a setting into which you can totally merge. You do not appreciate half-measures in thefamily: you want the perfect osmosis or nothing at all! In the long run, this will to melt your attitudes intoyour entourage's may become the cornerstone for a near-to ideal union. However, the danger is that youmay shut out solicitations, inevitably disturbing, which are not from your clan.

You are a person thirsting for precision and perfection. Your rebellions are frequent: any mechanism thatis not running perfectly smoothly is dismissed. Any person whose attitudes seem inconsistent becomesthe object of your refusal. Better than anyone else, you can ridicule social stereotyped models, tooconventional and ineffective. It is likely that you often succeed in giving a logical dimension to thecraziest situations.

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 the2nd house: acquisition and possession are the keywords for the axis of your activities. You work with aview to grow rich (on the material or on the spiritual plane), to accumulate goods and experiences. Asyou want to have a fulfilling life, you focus your energy on social projects and you take a fair share of theworldly cake. With your persistence, you will dedicate an unusual energy to your goals.

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.

Page 38: Novak's Astrological Portrait - Astrotheme · Novak's Astrological Portrait Introduction 2 Your Planets, Houses, Aspects, and Natal Chart 4 Preamble 7 ... various facets of your personality:

Uranus was retrograding on the day of your birth: you have the soul of a rebel and your behaviour mayoften be tyrannical or extremist. Your manner has brought you setbacks. You lack the flexibility thatspares you the pain of forcing your ways through events. The danger may be that you get trapped intorigid patterns and into personal logics incompatible with others'. This is precisely what your life's lessonis about: as years go by, your judgments are more qualified and your attitudes become lesscut-and-dried, less stubborn. You must lose the essentially individualistic character of your childhoodand be more open to other people's ideas and problems. In other words, a path of love. Without losingyour remarkable resolution, you must practice some form of renunciation and be sensitive to variouslogics that constitute the wealth of your social life.

Neptune retrograding concerns spirituality. You may have expressed early in life a few reluctances aboutthe subtle world of faith. You may have ignored destiny's signs and winks and you preferred to stick toyour certainties, to a rigorous and objective control of your life. You dread your own aspirations and youreadily trust others': this causes a lack of autonomy and the feeling that you may not receive as much asyou give. However, several delusions teach you that you must relativize your calculating and methodicalattitude and open up to the irrationality of love in order to find an inner and more spiritual progression.Embracing the invisible is a process that unfolds as years and experiences go by. Your own generosityincreases as you become aware of your entourage's generosity.

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.
