Born on Friday, March 3, 1972 - 4.00 a.m. - North Dakota, U.S.A.

Midheaven in Scorpio. When Scorpio is on the Midheaven in northern latitudes, Capricorn or Aquarius will be in the Ascendant. In southern latitudes, Capricorn, Aquarius, or Pisces will be ascending. Identification with Scorpio interests and powerful motivation are important to those with this Midheaven, but their success depends on their rising and Sun signs. Capricorn rising can bring political aspirations, and fares better than Aquarius, whose unpredictable behavior will have to be overcome before success can be assured. The Scorpio influence adds a sense of direction to those with Pisces rising.

Ascendant in Capricorn. The self confidence of those born with Capricorn rising fluctuates badly, leaving them very unsure of themselves. They should learn to take themselves at others high valuation. They show their emotion more easily than Sun-sign Capricorn, and will be more caring and sensitive to their partner’s needs.

Sun in Pisces. Imaginative and idealistic, Pisceans can be a little too unworldly, and the symbol of the sign—two fishes swimming in opposite directions—reflects their tendency to self-deception, to face both ways at once. However, Pisces is above all the creative sign of the dreamer and the poet. Basic Personality. Pisceans are among the most compassionate and kindly of people, often giving more time to the problems of others than they allow for consideration of their own. Their imagination, positively expressed, is an enormous asset, but Pisceans must learn not to allow their imagination to work negatively, magnifying small problems into major ones. They also tend to lie to themselves and others, rather than face harsh reality. Relationships. Sensitive and romantic, Pisceans often seem ready to deceive themselves rather than to admit any fault in their beloved. They are not especially passionate; their view of sex is essentially a romantic one. As parents, Pisceans are very encouraging to their children, but can be too easy-going. Piscean children tend to embroider the truth, and are better taught to be honest from an early age. They should be encouraged to use their strong imaginations positively. Career. Pisceans have an innate talent for caring and are always ready to listen to other people, so they can make exceptional counselors. They love beauty, and will work contentedly in any area of the arts. Leisure. Highly sensitive to atmosphere, Pisceans’ constitutions are easily disturbed by tension, and stress can cause them to overeat or drink. Tension should be relieved with inspirational exercise such as yoga or t’ai chi.

Moon in Libra. Anyone born when the Moon was in Libra will have the ability to be a peacemaker. Tactful, sympathetic, and also naturally diplomatic and understanding, they are able to identify freely with other people and their points of view. Meeting these people, we immediately feel at ease, and may well envy their relaxed air. They have a direct, beguiling charm, and an engaging way of talking that is instantly attractive. These people will be of the greatest help in a crisis. Naturally calm, they remain above the fray, able to see situations clearly and completely. The only drawback to this placing is that it can lead to indecision, and at worst weaken the character so that these subjects find it extremely difficult to resolve personal difficulties. Look for emphasis on the stronger signs in the horoscope—Capricorn or Leo, for instance—to counter this possible debility. Libra’s opposite sign is Aries, and if this sign features in the chart it may encourage a slightly aggressive tendency that can sometimes provoke the starting of an argument when one is not strictly necessary. The typical Libran cry of “but it isn’t fair!” will be heard occasionally. Libran balance and harmony are qualities that will be present in these characters, and will be useful at times of tension, when they can restore harmony with partners, friends, or colleagues.

Mercury in Pisces. People with this placing of Mercury can be highly intuitive, but extremely disorganized, forgetful, and careless. They are exceptionally kind and sympathetic by nature, and will do anything for anyone. Happily, their strong intuition is usually correct, for their lack of organizational ability can lead to confusion that they often find very difficult to resolve. They have a highly vivid imagination that too often works negatively, for they can invent extraordinary falsehoods attempting to get themselves out of trouble. Sun-sign Pisces, Mercury in Pisces. Confusion and muddle tend to surround these people, although (or maybe because) they have wonderful imaginations that can lift them out of the rut of everyday life and into the stratosphere of fancy. This imagination should be channeled and constructively employed.

Venus in Aries. Venus in Aries indicates someone who can be rather aggressive in his or her emotional expression. Usually the pursuer rather than the pursued, these people are enthusiastic, but selfish lovers. Their attitude towards money is enterprising and risks may be taken. Sun-sign Pisces, Venus in Aries. Ardent lovers, these Pisceans will continually strive for a rewarding relationship, which they need for psychological completeness. They enjoy money too much to save it.

Mars in Taurus. These people work tenaciously in their career and leisure activities. An abundant sex drive will be warmly expressed—although there may be a strong element of possessiveness. The energy level will be high, and (provided that Mars is not affected) used in a controlled way. Taurean patience will steady the Martian quick temper, but once aroused, the storm will be robust, and the rebuke will often be expressed much too vigorously, damaging an emotional or professional relationship. One problem with all this energy is that it can turn into stubbornness, and Mars will certainly strengthen this trait if it is indicated elsewhere in the birth chart. In a chart that is dominated by earth signs, the more adventurous facets of Mars will be somewhat repressed, or at any event slowed down. The Taurean need for financial security will be evident, and a great deal of energy will be spent in making money. This is a splendid placing for those who enjoy robust sports, and good too for dancers and athletes since it bestows discipline and strength. The throat is likely to be vulnerable to infections.

Jupiter in Capricorn. Here are rather remarkable people, the product of the combination (at best, a successful blending) of very different characteristics: the positive, extroverted qualities of Jupiter, and the negative, introverted qualities of Capricorn. Individuals born with this combination of planet and sign will be ambitious and determined, welcoming responsibilities, able and willing to work extremely hard and persistently, an having admirable powers of concentration. Their outlook on life will be very sensible and intelligent, and they will accept challenges realistically. The influence of Capricorn prevents the blind optimism of Jupiter, and common sense and caution will always inform their every move. The generosity and flamboyance of Jupiter are not often seen when it is in this sign, and the subject may occasionally have a pessimistic or bleak view of life, but their quirky sense of humor is never far away. These people are usually kind-hearted and thoughtful, although they tend to believe that they are always right, occasionally to the point of pig-headedness. This will be a real problem only if Jupiter receives a square aspect from the Sun or Mon, in which case it is likely that the individual will be so stubborn that he or she will refuse to listen to the opinion of others. When Jupiter is in Capricorn, it is important also to consider the position of Saturn in the chart; if it is heavily aspected to the personal planets, Capricorn’s influence can overshadow that of Jupiter’s, and the subject will be sober and serious. As children, those with Jupiter in Capricorn work cautiously, plodding slowly and deliberately up through the ranks of their contemporaries, eventually reaching the head of the class. For these individuals, making steady, gradual progress is likely to be the pattern throughout life.

Saturn in Gemini. Saturn’s effect from Gemini is generally positive because it stabilizes the personality and ensures that the intellect is focused. These people will be more economical with words than other Geminis, and will put their views across forcefully, succinctly, and impartially. They are capable of highly disciplined thought, and often excel at mathematics and science. However, they are quite often considered incommunicative, and when they do speak out they are likely to be cynical or sarcastic. They often have to resort to their off-beat Saturnian humor when they offend others by expressing themselves more harshly than they intended. They insist on honesty in communication, but they need to guard against excessive criticism. These individuals are prone to suspicion and doubt, and positive thinking and an optimistic outlook should be cultivated if not found elsewhere in the chart. Look at the positions of Mercury and Jupiter to see if their influences might help.

Uranus in Libra. From Libra, Uranus can contribute great powers of attraction, similar to those found in a Sun-sign Libran. The subjects are often loving and romantic, but unlike Sun-sign Librans, they will possess a strong independent streak from Uranus that will battle constantly against their Libran longing for a solid and lasting personal relationship. The partner of a person with Uranus in Libra will sometimes feel that he or she is being treated coolly, and that his or her lover is too independent to make a proper commitment. In most cases, only a thread of independence will emerge in the attitude towards partners, but if either Venus or Uranus is a personal planet, or they are in aspect to each other, these contrasting traits—desire for both partnership and independence—may cause problems in a relationship. If Aquarius is the Sun, Moon, or Ascendant, it is likely that this person wants a partnership, but not a particular partner. It is important for such individuals to come to terms with this facet of their personality if they are to be honest with potential partners. People with Uranus in Libra make faithful friends who are completely dependable, and always ready to give as much consideration and time to their friends as they need. Sympathy and kindness are attributes that Uranus certainly encourages from Libra. Those who are accused of being a little too cool and distant to relatives and loved ones should try to cultivate the same degree of affection they show their friends. This combination of planet and sign is excellent for people with a very high emotional level for it will help to stabilize and rationalize their approach and reaction to life in general.

Neptune in Sagittarius. The powerful relationship between Neptune and Jupiter (Neptune now rules Pisces, and Pisces was originally ruled by Jupiter) is heightened by Neptune’s journey through the Jupiterian sign of Sagittarius. Neptune encourages a strong sense of social justice, and we can expect much that is idealistic, hopeful, and positive from this generation. Although these young people will have to be tough to cope with the demands of his life in the early 21^st century, they have a sympathetic side to their personality, and a sense of optimism that should help them solve some of the problems of the future. They will have a strong identification with nature and with animals, and may reject potentially cruel farming methods. If Sagittarius is prominent in a subject’s birth chart, it may indicate one of the leaders of this generation.

Pluto in Libra. Sexual permissiveness and the relaxation of traditional moral values was a main theme during the period Pluto spent in Libra. The contraceptive pill brought freedom from the fear of pregnancy for many women, and consequently this was an era when the unfettered pursuit of erotic pleasure seemed a desirable and harmless end in itself. As far as the personal influence goes, Pluto spices up the somewhat placid temperament of Libra, but also increases the Libran tendency to cause problems just for the fun of solving them. This is particularly the case in emotional partnerships, where the pleasure of reconciliation is considered well worth a few hours of unproductive argument. This argumentative trait emerges when Libra is prominent or if Pluto is personalized, the possessiveness and jealous can be problematic in intimate relationships.

PLANETS THOUGH HOUSES

First House. Jupiter. People with Jupiter will live their lives to the full, brimming over the optimistic enthusiasm. They possess an enviable breadth of vision, and even if a meticulous sign, such as Virgo, is rising, the individual can concentrate on the broad outline of a situation, rather than focusing on details. Although open and honest, these people may be a little boisterous and have a tendency to exaggerate if Jupiter is afflicted by the Sun, Moon, or Mars. If this more excitable side of Jupiter is dominant, they must be encouraged to cultivate a more philosophical outlook in life.

Third House. Sun. Knowledge is of great importance to these individuals, and intellectual accomplishments will bring a great sense of fulfillment. The third house is the house of Gemini and Mercury, therefore these people tend to be skilled communicators. Sibling relationships are strongly emphasized by this placing. Mercury. Mercury’s influence is particularly powerful in this position, because the third house is connected with Mercury and Gemini. These people are inquisitive and gregarious, with a need to communicate but may be more interested in how they express themselves than in what they say. Keeping up to date with the latest developments is important to these alert and perceptive individuals, and they tend to be voracious readers of newspapers and magazines.

Fourth House. Venus. For those born with Venus in the fourth house, the mother-child relationship is significant. These individuals tend to identify with and emulate their mothers. As a result, there may be problems when they leave home for the first time. These people will work hard to create a home that is a haven of calm and comfort. The subjects are loving and supportive parents, but may spoil their children. Mars. The fourth house governs family and home life, in particular the relationship between mother and child. This placing indicates a strong and forceful mother, who plays a dominant role in her child’s life. The subjects tend to be restless and may move house frequently. Their powerful Martial energy will be directed towards improving and redecorating the home.

Fifth House. Saturn. This placing indicates a dogmatic, overbearing father figure. As a result, these people may feel inadequate and unable to express their emotions for fear of rejection. Only if they can overcome their inhibitions will they find happiness and contentment. They are extremely ambitious for their children, and must not be too pushy. When it comes to affairs of the heart, these individuals are extremely serious. They can be rather lacking in humor and must work hard to develop a sense of fun.

Ninth House. Pluto. Intellectual processes are emphasized by this position, and these individuals have an innate desire to study and increase their intellectual horizons. They are true perfectionists and will often have difficulty in finishing a job, always believing that the result could be improved upon. These people also tend to possess strong spiritual and religious principles, and if Pluto is afflicted, they can become quite fanatical about their beliefs. Moon. These people have strong spiritual and moral values. In theory eager to study, their fluctuating powers of concentrating may obstruct their desire to develop the intellect. A strong Moon sign and god aspects to Mercury and Jupiter are sure to help, however. It is important for these individuals to avoid fantasy and concentrate firmly on fact—the ability to keep both feet firmly on the ground must be encouraged. Uranus. People with Uranus in the ninth house tend to be original and brilliant thinkers. Their strong powers of intelligence are formidable, and they often possess scientific flair or unique literary talents. Constant mental stimulation is necessary—these people reach out to unique and exciting experiences with both hands. Travel is important to these individuals, and they will enjoy exotic and unusual experiences while broadening their horizons.

Twelfth House. Neptune. This is the Pisces/Neptune house, and the planet’s influence is strong from here. Although Neptune works well from this position, it can also bring reclusive tendencies to the personality. These individuals have an intensely private and solitary side to their characters, and they will occasionally need to retreat from the stresses and strains of everyday life. They tend to shun the limelight and to work best in isolation, particularly if they are involved in creative work. They like to let their work speak for them, and are not comfortable with self-publicity. These individuals are ideally suited to a career in one of the caring professions, for they are intensely sympathetic to those in need.
