Dear Mommy Dearest,
Utang na loob naman Inay, bakit naman wala pa ring kupas ang inyong katangahan? Kaya naman dalawang beses na inaatake sa puso si Itay dahil sa konsumisyon sa inyo eh. Tulad ng tinitigan nyo ng isang oras yung karton ng orange juice dahil nakasulat dun "concentrate", o nung sinabi nyo na puno na yung sinehan dahil nakasulat sa may pintuan "pull". Dyosko, mabuti na lang at ang kagandahan ko lang ang namana ko sa inyo.
Para sa iyo, Mommy Dearest (at kailan pa nga pala kayo nagpalit ng pangalan from "Inay" to "Mommy Dearest"?):
M.A.N.I.L.A. - May All Nights Inspire Love Always.
Nagmamahal forever,

Dear Manay Letty,
Mayroon akong dalawang katanungan na kung inyong masasagot ay makatutulong sa nakararami, at sa katunayan ay maaari pang makapagdulot ng world peace.
Una: Ang kikiam ba ay kiki sa umaga? At pangalawa: Ang uod ba pag namatay ay inuuod din? I thanks for you!
Thin Girl
Dear Thin Girl,
Bago ko sagutin ang iyong mga tanong, gusto ko munang i-address ang ating Dear Readers, especially ang mga hindi taga-Pilipinas na hindi bihasa sa "textese" rhymes with "chinese"), ang unique language ng mga pinoys na ginagamit sa texting: usually ginagamit ang "am" or "pm" instead na "morning" o "evening" para mas maiksi i-type, for example: "gud am
HoneyBunny!" o "gud pm my sweet LecheFlan Cupcake!". Kaya ang question ng ating mahaderang letter-writer ay kung: "kiki" + "am" "kiki sa umaga"? Actually hindi din ako sure sa sagot kaya tinanong ko ang isa kong kaibigan na lalaki. Ang sabi niya ay "yes" daw ang sagot dahil pareho lang naman daw ang lasa nun.
Ang reaction naman ng inyong asumptionistang lola (meaning ako, gaga!):
"YUCK! YUCKADIRI! YUCKADIRI TO DEATH!"
o sya, heto ang iyong food for thought:
C.A.N.A.D.A. - Cute And Naughty Action Develops Attraction.
Nagmamahal forever,
Manay Letty
Itong susunod na liham ay hindi talaga para sa "Dear Manay Letty" kundi para talaga ito sa aking friend at sa friend nating lahat dito sa Tristan Cafe, si Tristan. Totoo itong letter na 'to, believe it or else! .
Uulitin ko, ACTUAL LETTER ITO PARA KAY TRISTAN. Naaliw ako ng husto dito kaya ako, ang inyong ever-beautiful Dear Manay Letty, ang sasagot...
Hi Tristan. Good and you make another new website that is cooler and neater. But my only criticism to your website is that, it has a lot of grammar error that has need to be correct. Tristan, this is a website and not just mail or something that here you can use fragment sentences or something like that. Since this is a Website, you must be careful to your words, your verbs, your sentence structure because their are thousands of People or so are visiting this Filipino website. At isa pa, kung ang mga grammar mo dito sa website mo ay hindi pa rin magbabago, what would i highly recommend to you is that you better remove this website here because ang kalalabasan tuloy niyan ay magiging kahiyahiya lang ang mga pilipino.
Oh, Tristan i do not know how could i help you to correct your grammar but what can i suggest for you is to read a grammar books - just like constructing sentences book.

Dear Yaya Mitring,
Kamusta ka na? Natatandaan talaga kita, ikaw yung nagnakaw sa amin bago ka umalis, impakta ka. Kamusta na pala si Loring, yung anak mo na kalaro ko noong araw? Napatawad niya na ba ako sa paghulog ko sa kanya sa bangin noong mga dalagita pa kami, at nung itinulak ko siya sa ilog na may mga buwaya? Wala naman akong masamang hangarin sa kanya noon, hindi ko naman siya sinisisi sa pag-akit niya sa aking kasintahan ng mga panahong yun.

Dear Jack Stevens,
Hindi ko din alam kung totoo nga ang kasabihang iyan, pero ikinagagalak kong sabihin sa iyo na may isang paraan para natin matiyak ang kasagutan sa iyong tanong. Kailangan mong magpunta sa akin para masukat ko mismo ang iyong, uhm... pagkalalaki. Don't worry, I'll be gentle. Tsaka it's for the sake of art and the sake of science, malaki ang maitutulong ng ating gagawing, uhm... experiment sa ikauunlad ng Pilipinas. Maghubo para sa bayan! O diba ang ganda ng battlecry mo? 9 1/2 kamo ang size ng paa mo? Ngayon pa lang ay ipinagdarasal ko na na sana'y totoo nga ang kasabihan.
Para sa iyo, Jack Stevens, dahil 19 years old ka lang, virgin at spring chicken (pero not for long), dalawa ang para sa iyo:
T.O.N.D.O. - Tonight's Our Night, Dearest One. At kapag kasinglaki nga ng iyong paa ang iyong, hm... uhm... o sya sige na nga ang iyong talong, schlong, longanisa, whatever, ito ang aking masasabi:

Contrôlez-vous les événements ou vous contrôlent-ils? Enseignez-vous ou apprenez-vous? Si vous êtes un « mari » vos problèmes résultent de votre hypocrisie ; vous dites une chose et vous en faites une autre. Vous n’agissez pas selon les principes que vous appliquez aux autres. Vous ne pratiquez pas ce que vous prêchez. Vous devez soit accorder vos actes à vos principes, soit en changer. Le « fosse » entre ce que vous des autres et ce que vous tolérez chez vous-même provoque la confusion de ceux qui dépendent de vous. Si vous êtes une « femme », votre problème est que, pour une raison ou pour une autre – sans doute très bonne – vous vous rebellez contre l’autorité dans cette situation particulière. Vous avez oublie que la relation entre vous et l’autorité n’est pas fondée sur la puissance, mais sur un intérêt commun. Entre un homme et une femme, le lien commun est l’amour ; entre deux hommes d’affaires, l’objectif commun est le profit. Au lieu de vous rebeller négativement contre une autorité malheureusement faible ou malhonnête, vous devez prendre conscience de ses défauts et réajuster vos principes de façon a ne pas affaiblir le lien le plus important : la raison d’être originale de votre relation avec les autres. ¶ 3:14 PM 0 Comments
Sincerita interiore. Questa sincerita interiore permette di trovare a via che conduce agli altri, anch a coloro che sono difficili da influenzare. Fortuna per chi possiede questa grande qualita. I rapporti umani sarano facilitati poiche chi ha la fortuna di possedere un animo grade e giusto attira il prossimo e lo comprende. La forza interiore che dona la verita del cuore rende qualunque ostacolo superabile, basta lasciare che gli altri sentano spontaneamente la superiorita dell’animo e ne subiscano l’influenza. Comprendendo gli altri, si sa come agire con loro. In questo modo si aggirano tutti gli ostacoli che si erigono fra se stessi e il successo. Nelle questioni di amore, l’eccessivo entusiasmo e sconsigliato.
Semplicita. Non bisogna temere di sacrificare alle cose essenziali quelle superflue. Nella vita certe scelte presuppongono l’eliminazione di parte del nostro abituale mondo. La diminuzione non e necessariamente una cosa incresciosa. Bisogna capire che ogni situazione arriva quando e il suo momento, e non bisogna vergognarsi di un periodo di restrizione che permette di ritrovare la propria forza interiore e di ricominciare cosi da capo. Non ci si deve nutrire di pensieri amari ne arrossire della propria poverta. Perdendo oggi qualcosa a cui teniamo, guadagneremo poi cio che e fondamentale. Il consiglio e di ominare i proprio istinti e lapropria collera e di mantenere una condotta retta e ferma che compensera la precarieta della situazione sul piano materiale. Armonia sentimentale.
ARIES. This could prove to be a particularly uncertain period when you would be well advised to keep your wits about you. Friends could show themselves in their true colors during this phase – their treachery and deception will be a great disappointment to you. A member of the opposite sex could also cause you some uneasiness. Provided that you keep your eyes and ears open you should emerge from this temporary period relatively unscathed.
TAURUS. You should endeavor to be alert and ready to take action at even the slightest hint of trouble so that any problems can be dealt with before they have time to get out of hand. You should also be vigilant for colleagues and friends who may be working against your interests at this time, although don’t over-react and imagine that everyone is your enemy. Important messages can be expected which may be of a confidential nature. It’s up to you to ensure that they remain so.
GEMINI. Increase is the keyword for this period. Now is the time to double your money and really make a financial killing provided that you pay attention to detail and don’t allow over-enthusiasm to get the better of your good sense – and money. Material gain through skillful manipulation of your resources is definitely on the cards at this time.
CANCER. You would possibly make considerable progress during this period but at a price. You will have to overcome many annoying worries and problems before you can reach your goal. Try to make your road a little easier by using the wisdom gained from past experience as a guide.
LEO. This time is right to put some of your ideas forward for consideration. Your brain should be functioning at its very best under this vibration so you ought to be able to solve some long-standing problems.
VIRGO. You should endeavor to convert your ideas into reality – the rewards for a productive intellect could be especially great at this time. This is a good time to consider entering into marriage or starting a family, should you feel so inclined.
LIBRA. Choice is the keyword here but it’s up to you which opportunity you decide to pursue. There are sure to be several alternatives to choose from but one holds more promise than all the rest put together. Will you make the right decision? You would do well to examine your motives carefully to ensure that you make the right choice.
SCORPIO. You should experience a period of particularly good health. You will be feeling on top of the world when no task will seem too onerous. However, you should try to resist the temptation to push yourself to the limits as this could have serious consequences at a later date. A wealthy marriage is also quite possible for those of you prepared to put financial security before love.
SAGITTARIUS. Many challenging situations will crop up when least expected that you will need all your courage to deal with them. Keep a firm control of matters as once you lose this your opponents will be able to take the upper hand. Troubles will be your constant companions during this period but don’t despair too much as they will all pass, leaving you a stronger character for the experience.
CAPRICORN. This is the right time to do battle for what is wanted. Off with the kid gloves and stop defending yourself with excuses! This is the only way that you will ever be victorious. Once you have shown your teeth people will think twice before they try to fob you off with petty excuses again.
AQUARIUS. You can expect a particularly happy, easy-going phase of your life when friendships could play a fairly major role in your affairs. Business partnerships look promising while your romantic life is well aspected with perhaps marriage taking place at the end of this period.
PISCES. You are almost certain to acquire a few extra responsibilities fro which you can expect no immediate release. These may tend to cramp your style but when the burden is finally lifted it should herald the beginning of a new and improved phase of your life. Be patient and try to rise above these temporary restrictions.

Ascendant in Scorpio. Scorpio Sun-sign characteristics are more powerfully expressed when it is the rising sign. The tendency for these people to be secretive can become obsessive. Sometimes preoccupied with their faults, those who have Scorpio rising should give themselves credit for their virtues. Emotional security is important to them.
Midheaven in Leo. When Leo is on the Midheaven in the northern hemisphere, Libra, Scorpio or Sagittarius will be in the Ascendant. In the southern hemisphere, Scorpio, Sagittarius or Capricorn will be rising. Leo Midheaven bestows a need to achieve and display the signs of success. When Scorpio rises, the determination and powerful energy of that sign, combined with Leo aspiration, offers these individuals everything that is necessary to make them extremely high achievers. However, care is needed if this powerful potential is to be fulfilled.
Sun in Libra. Diplomatic, romantic, and idealistic, Librans need balance for a harmonious life. In order to attain this state of equilibrium, they will sometimes give way in situations where they should stand firm, or sit on the fence until someone else has resolved the problem, or it has simply resolved itself. Basic Personality. Procrastination comes naturally to Librans, because they have the ability to see every point of view, and dislike taking sides in an argument. Although they have considerable physical energy, they are sometimes accused of laziness. This is often because they are choosing to relax, and making time to listen to the problems of their friends and family. Relationships. Librans are great romantics, and they are vulnerable when in a partnership. The usual Libran indecision is swept aside, and when marrying in haste they may repent at leisure. Libran parents are very loving and caring, but sometimes spoil their children for the sake of peace and quiet. Libran children are easy to please, and tend to rely on a parent to make decisions. Career. Librans enjoy the high life, and need to earn good money. They thrive in positions that need diplomacy and tact, fashion, and the beauty and cosmetic industries suit them well. Leisure. Librans do not enjoy physical exertion, but they need to exercise to avoid becoming overweight. They should also control their love of rich food.
Rishwan has strong feelings that he constantly expresses. He loves life and enjoys close relationships with people. He doesn’t wait for others to make gestures of friendship, but eagerly seek to make them feel at ease in his company. He wants so much to be liked and loved that he dramatizes his feelings towards others so they will respond to him in a similar fashion. In fact, he functions best when he knows others care for him.
He can easily detach himself from people who are indifferent or uncaring. Only individuals with depth and substance gain his attention. He is conservative toward people until they demonstrate their worth to him. Once this is done, he will project his feelings with determination, in anticipation of establishing a permanent relationship.
He is proud, sometimes even vain, in seeking the spotlight. Love is very important to him. It rounds out his life with meaning and satisfaction. He tends to exercise a dominant force over those he cares for, and he is shattered when they reject him in defiance.
He appreciates fine things. Beautiful people, a comfortable home, good food and warm friends delight his tastes. Even good books, art and the theater give him much enjoyment. However, he may indulge beyond his resources and severely strain his finances. He lives for today and try not to look too carefully at tomorrow. He tries to avoid the unpleasant—it is so inconsistent with the brighter side of life he expects.

Votre position est intolérable. Vous subissez l’influence de forces contraires à vos principes. L’orientation de ces forces qui dirigent, modèlent et forment les circonstances de votre vie est totalement opposée à vos convictions. Vous ne pouvez rien faire pour changer cette situation. Vous devez, en fait, accepter l’existence de cette obscurité qui enveloppe votre vie. Vous la considérez comme un mensonge oppose à votre vérité, un mal oppose à votre conception du bien. Mais, en raison de son impact, vous serez force de l’accepter sur tous les plans de votre vie, excepte les plus personnels. Parmi vos amis, vous etes le seul a condamner ces forces obscures. Les autres les acceptent ou les ignorent. Aucun d’entre eux n’est prêt à transformer ou a détruire celles-ci, du moins pour le moment. Vous devez vous résigner—provisoirement—a en être l’esclave. Vous devez cacher vos véritables sentiments et rester aveugle au mal qui vous entoure. C’est pour vous le temps de l’humiliation. Mais bien que vous soyez force de passer sur certaines choses, vous ne devez jamais faire le mal volontairement. Ne cédez pas devant vos adversaires. Vos réactions doivent être soumises ; mais vos actions doivent rester pures et accordées a vos propres principes, quel qu’en soit le prix.
Le persone simili nel cuore si riuniscono per uno scopo comune. Quando regna una simile concordia, si possono condurre a termine con successo delle imprese difficili e pericolose. Tuttavia per realizzare una tale unione e necessario avere una guida illuminata, i cui fini sono luminosi e suscitano entusiasmo. Questo lavoro comunitario richiede astrazione da qualsiasi forma di egoismo; la chiarezza interiore dara grande forza alla partecipazione attiva e organizzata di tutti. La semplicita del sentimento e la sua grandezza e garantisce il buon esito delle azioni e la fortuna collettiva poiche non esiste egoismo. Possibilita di una unione basata sull’interesse che porta senz’altro a doversene pentire in futuro. Non si puo far nulla per avvicinarsi alla persona che ci interessa, gli ostacoli sono troppo grandi. Ma proprio nel non agire si cela la fortuna. Non e possibile instaurare un rapporto profondo con la persona che ci interessa anche se i presupposti sono favorevoli.
ARIES. You should try to practice economy whenever possible under this period and store away any plans for the future until matters pick up again and your circumstances improve.
TAURUS. Love and changes for the better are both indicated under this vibration. This should prove to be particularly busy social period when there is much to be done and not nearly enough time to do it. Your family will probably choose to be especially supportive during this period if you’re not too stubborn to accept their help. Change is in the air and this could be of environment, occupation or both. A new and meaningful relationship is also almost certain to flourish.
GEMINI. Your affairs would probably reach an all-time low and that you could be possibly be feeling very angry and bitter about it. Take heart though as it also promises that matters will begin to improve almost immediately, although whether you ever reach again the dizzy heights from which you recently fell is really up to you.
CANCER. Your life should be full of rewards for past efforts plus the chance of lucky accidents thrown in for good measure.
LEO. You should try to get away from familiar surroundings in order to stimulate your mind with new experiences. This is a necessary period of personal growth when a few days spent entirely on your own would also prove beneficial to your outlook on life. Allow your mind to wander where it likes and be sure that you make a mental note of everything you see and do for future reference.
VIRGO. This is a particularly happy and trouble-free period of your life when you can afford to relax and simply enjoy what life has to offer. Your family and friends will play an active role in your affairs during this phase when there should be many social functions to which you will be invited. The keywords here are entertainment, enjoyment and friendly company.
LIBRA. During this period you should expect to encounter a few minor problems which will need to be solved. Some extra responsibilities may also be temporarily placed upon your shoulders for which you should receive adequate compensation. Your health should be particularly good at this time and you should endeavor to channel all your surplus into a project which is both useful and creative.
SCORPIO. Activity is the keyword for this phase. There is bound to be a tremendous amount of going on around you with much coming and going of people, ideas and objects. An important matter which has been subject to delays in the past should now speed up and reach a pleasing conclusion. Communications and travel will be highlighted under this vibration to be sure to watch out for important new contacts on the way.
SAGITTARIUS. Avoid doing anything precipitous on the spur of the moment. Instead you should allow yourself time to think matters over carefully before reaching a final decision, especially where contracts are concerned. Marriage is also a contract and it should be considered with extreme caution during this period.
CAPRICORN. This is a time in your life when you should tread warily and consider with extra care any decisions or changes you may be about to make. Your immediate future doesn’t look too promising for several reasons—some of your friends/associates are really wolves in sheep’s clothing and will take advantage of you whenever they have the opportunity to do so; partnerships and speculations could fail because you have been given second-rate guidance; union politics could play a deciding role in your future prosperity. Proceed with caution during this tricky period—it’s only temporary and will eventually pass.
AQUARIUS. You could be faced with a difficult decision which will involve a moral issue—unfortunately your standards may be rather higher than the accepted norm and this is where your difficulty will lie—should you be true to yourself and miss a golden opportunity or should you turn a blind eye and accept the offer? Only you can decide so don’t rush to give your answer.
PISCES. Under this period, the opportunity could arise to use your talents to the full and even possibly to develop them even further by embarking on a training scheme of some kind as a private pupil or even as a part of a group of like-minded individuals. Whatever transpires you should try to remain level-headed—if you allow matters to go to your head you could lose friends and possibly even make a few enemies by your change in attitude.

Hector Luis RiveraBorn on Monday, February 12, 1968 at 4:00 PM in
Ascendant people, and in a partnership they are supportive and ambitious for their lover. Those without a family will channel their homemaking instincts into worthy cause—often charitable or ideological. They often worry unnecessarily about their health and this can become a way of life.
Midheaven in Aries. When in Midheaven is Aries, Cancer or Leo will be in the Ascendant in northern latitudes. In southern latitudes, Gemini or Cancer will be the rising sun. Anyone with Aries as his or her Midheaven will aspire to be independent and assertive. When Gemini is rising, the individual is likely to express the Geminian ability for wheeling and dealing to achieve his or her own ends. If a subject has Cancer rising, the sensitivity of the rising sign means that his or her concern for other people will hinder success. Nevertheless, the attraction to Arien interests will be very powerful, and he or she will have the desire to be a big achiever. Assertiveness will be significantly enhanced if Leo is rising. These individuals tend to be very ambitious, and are likely to attain their goals.
Sun in Aquarius. Original, inventive, honest, and loyal, the typical Aquarian may also seem contrary and perverse, and will certainly be unpredictable. Aquarians need their independence and privacy. It is possible to be their lifelong friend, yet fee that they have only ever revealed the surface of their personality. Basic Personality. Aquarians are likeable and open, and are always ready to be supportive to their friends. Highly conscious of the needs of others, they will help whenever they can. They need to express their originality in order to feel fulfilled. Relationships. Aquarius often find difficult to sustain a close emotional relationship, because this means adjusting their lifestyle to accommodate the habits of another. When they make a commitment, they are extremely loyal, but they are likely to prevaricate before making any pledge. Aquarian parents often find it difficult to understand a child who is more conventional than themselves, while an Aquarian child’s individuality is something construed as waywardness. Career. Aquarians enjoy work in humanitarian professions and in communications, such as the technical areas of television and radio. Their natural sense of drama often finds expression in theatre work, the fashion industry, and in careers that call for flair and originality. Leisure. Aquarians possess originality and creativity, and should try to express these qualities in their leisure activities. Regular, creative exercise, such as dancing, is most beneficial for them. However, the ankles are ruled by this sign and can be vulnerable, so care should be taken to protect them, especially if skiing or winter sports are engaged. Like all air-sign people, Aquarians thrive best on a light, nourishing diet.
Moon in Leo. This position is often found in the birth charts of high achievers, especially if the Moon is near the Midheaven, or placed in the tenth house. People with their Moon in Leo can appear overbearing and dogmatic: their immediate instinct in almost any situation is to take over. They are self-centered, and this can lead to arrogance and stubbornness. On the other hand, they usually have the best of motives, and can be a source of inspiration to others. They will find every possible outlet for their potential (which will be indicated by the characteristics of the Sun sign) and will achieve their personal aspirations. They rarely do this, however, without going a little too far in the eyes of partners, friends, or colleagues. There is an unconscious need for admiration and attention from others, and if shyness or inhibition is indicated elsewhere in the horoscope, the conflict will result in a tendency to show off and appear over-confident. They cope well in emergencies, for the qualities of leadership inherent in Leo will always be present. This is a placing that needs a steadying influence from other planets in the birth chart. Children with the Moon in this sign can be excessively exuberant, and they should be encouraged to control this trait before it develops into bombasts.
Mercury in Aquarius. Originality can be accompanied by inflexibility and perversity. Nervous tension may cause problems, and relaxation may prove difficult. The subject can be stubborn and perverse when under stress. The mind is extremely quick, and there will be an intellectual approach to problems, which will be precisely assessed. Aquarian humanitarianism will be highlighted in this sign. Sun-sign Aquarius, Mercury in Aquarius. Great originality, a daunting stubbornness, and considerable perversity and unpredictability are all likely—but also objectivity, friendliness, and the desire to be helpful. Flexibility of judgment should be developed.
Venus in Capricorn. Here are extremely faithful lovers, who must ensure that their cool sensuality does not prevent their partners from realizing they are loved. Sometimes a partner will be chosen as a status symbol or for material gain, but in a loving relationship. Capricorn ambition needs to be shared with the partner, with the alliance geared to personal and financial development. Sun-sign Aquarius, Venus in Capricorn. Despite magnetic powers of attraction, these individuals are not romantic, nor do they like to commit themselves to a permanent relationship. A sense of balance is needed in financial affairs since poor management of money is usual.
Mars in Pisces. Those people who are born when Mars is in Pisces have an emotional force that is strong that confining it is a danger, and failing to use it a waste. If not used positively, all this emotion can result in mental stagnation and even psychological problems. They are perhaps most usefully occupied in the caring professions, or helping those in need, but they should also try to satisfy their own needs. They are passionate and sensual, yet they are capable of sacrificing a fulfilling personal relationship in order to pursue a vocation helping others who are in need. This placing of Mars requires other planetary influences to give practical ability and discipline, and if Mars is afflicted by
Jupiter in Virgo. Jupiter encourages expansion and the broad approach to life. Virgo favors a narrower, more detailed approach. There can be conflict when the individual is faced with the need to take a broad view of a situation, for in attempting to do so, he or she may unexpectedly lose self-confidence and be unable to make a firm decision. Fortunately, Jupiter brings from Virgo a matter-of-fact approach to life, which will help individuals reach the right conclusions, and as time goes on they will be able to look back on a number of successes, the recollection of which will bolster their faith in themselves and their judgment. If Jupiter is afflicted by either the Moon or Mercury, these people can be absent-minded. This will infuriate them, and they need to avoid the consequences by making notes and arranging reminders to themselves. This position of Jupiter occurs in the horoscopes of a number of notable writers because the patience and total dedication of a meticulous craftsperson is combined with the intelligence to express a highly vivid imaginative talent. The subject will also possess healthy skepticism and critical acumen. Jupiter in Virgo bestows a practical flair, and is a fine attribute in the horoscope of a scientist or technician, or anyone involved in technology. Health-wise, there may be digestive problems or constipation, especially if there is a love of rich food.
Saturn in Aries. The forces attributed to this planet and sign are very different. Saturn bestows caution and restriction, while Aries is associated with vigor and energy. These very contrasting factors cause conflict in the personalities of subjects born when Saturn was in Aries. Sometimes they will be strong, assertive, and courageous, at other times hesitant and unable to decide on the right course of action. If they are able to achieve a balance between the two sides of their personality, they can combine these apparently contradictory traits in the most advantageous manner, so that extremes of action and inaction are avoided. Arien strength and vigor can be tempered by Saturnian practicality and common sense, while Saturnian ambition will be boosted by Arien energy. Persistence and determination are not completely curbed, but physical and emotional energy is tempered. These people often feel restless when the pace of life slows down, and they have a tendency to submit to depression. The best antidote to this is a change of occupation, or a vigorous exercise or sport to work off their excessive energy. Saturn in Aries can also cause these individuals to be self-centered and thoughtless, and sometime they will have difficulty communicating and co-operating with others.
Uranus in Virgo. From Virgo, Uranus will encourage the individual to work in detail, to analyze and research, and it inspires an original approach to any project. Virgo, an earth sign, tends to be very conventional, encouraging people to go for well-tried, familiar courses of action; Uranus demands originality and innovation. There may be an inner conflict between the two urges, but if there is some way that they can be reconciled, the individual can be spectacularly successful in solving problems that are too difficult for others. Anyone with Uranus in Virgo will necessarily have Pluto in that sign, too, and many will have these two planets in conjunction; a very powerful combination because Pluto endows these subjects with dynamic, forceful qualities, and makes them capable of drastic action and change when it is necessary. These people will query everything. They are unlikely to accept official answers to any large question, and are always eager to get to the truth. Individuals who have Uranus in Virgo tends to scrutinize every aspect of a situation, and this proclivity will be valuable if the person wishes to pursue investigative or research work, particularly in medicine. A flair for science is also possible. These people must learn to reconcile the different elements of their personality and accept Uranus’ encouragement to be “different”; it would be unfortunate to allow the Virgoan side of their character to suppress their originality.
Pluto in Virgo. Between late 1961 and late 1968, Pluto shared Virgo with Uranus, forming a very potent conjunction that combines the upheaval often instigated by Pluto with Uranus’ desire for sudden change. There was a great deal of student unrest, and the values and standards of the older generation were criticized and undermined. Those with a Virgo, Sun, Moon, or Ascendant are in a powerful position to make dynamic change. They possess the power to blast the world to fragments or to rid it of much that is unjust. Pluto can often encourage obsessional tendencies, and if such characteristics are suggested in other areas of the horoscope, this placing of Pluto will increase the possibility. Assess the importance of the Pluto/Uranus conjunction and consider the house placing. If the planets are negatively aspected, the ability to talk freely about problems will be limited, and the subject will tend to worry. If the subject tends to be critical in a particularly harsh way, this may be due to the influence of Pluto: look to other areas of the birth chart to find a rebuttal.

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.
Midheaven in Libra. When the sign of Libra is on the Midheaven in northern latitudes, either Sagittarius or Capricorn will be in the Ascendant. In southern latitudes, Capricorn or Aquarius will be rising. In general, these individuals will identify with a peaceful existence, even if this is not part of their daily reality. The Libran liking for comfort can weaken the more devil-may-care motivation of Sagittarius, while the Capricorn is rising, a prim and proper attitude to life can give way to Libran easy-living when temptation arises. The combination of Libra and Aquarius causes the subject to aspire to individuality, but without the motivation to do anything about it.
PLANETS THROUGH HOUSES
Second House. Saturn. People with Saturn in the second house will have to work hard for every penny they earn. However, this does not mean that financial success is unlikely, and when it comes there will be a considerable sense of pride and satisfaction. Saturn may inhibit overt displays of emotion, but these individuals will eventually become confident and learn to relax enough to express sensual pleasure in a sexual relationship. Mercury. The attitude to money will be astute, but there is a tendency to get involved in dubious get-rich-quick schemes. The aspects received by Mercury, and the sign placing of the planet, will reveal just how damaging this tendency may be. Positive aspects from Saturn will have a steadying effect, but negative aspects from Neptune could signal potential confusion, deceit, and fraud. This is the house of Venus and Taurus, and because Mercury rules the hands, these people make skilled masseurs, both professionally and when making love. Mars. The acquisition of wealth and possessions is emphasized here. The sign that Mars occupies indicates how money will be acquired: through careful investment, skilful dealings, or a long hard slog. These people are passionate and can be possessive. If Mars occupies Taurus, Cancer, or Scorpio, the subject may possess a fiery temper and will not be quick to forget an insult. Jupiter. This house emphasizes the materialistic side of Jupiter, and money and possessions are of particular importance. These people are shrewd financiers, and should enjoy good fortune. However, if Jupiter is afflicted, especially by a square or opposition from Venus, money may go out as fast as it comes in, resulting in bad investment and debt. When it comes to relationships, the subjects are generous to a fault, showering their partners with gifts. However, they must be careful not to try to purchase love and affection.
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. Moon. Communication is of the greatest importance to these people and they thrive on constant contact with others. They are eager to learn, but tend only to dip into subjects on a superficial level. Their enthusiasms are rarely long-lasting—they are always yearning to move on to the next item of interest. Open and articulate, these individuals find it easy to voice their feelings. An empathy with children is typical of this placing. Venus. Close and harmonious family relationships are very important to these sympathetic and understanding individuals. The perfect students, they relish an intellectual challenge and demand constant mental stimulation. A glossy encyclopedia will make the perfect gift. These individuals are friendly and outgoing, and are guaranteed to be at the center of a large social circle. They are at their happiest entertaining their many friends in a lively and animated atmosphere.
Ninth House. 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. 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.
Eleventh House. Neptune. This planetary placing indicates friendship and group participation. These people tend to be extremely sociable, and usually possess a wide circle of close friends and acquaintances. They are generous and supportive, and must beware of selfish friends who may try to take advantage of their kind and generous nature. These individuals have a caring and humanitarian streak in their character, and are frequently involved in fund-raising for charity. They enjoy group activities, and are members of a variety of clubs and societies, particularly those with charitable purpose. ¶ 7:12 AM 0 Comments
Dans la situation présente, vous jouez un rôle a la fois vital et secondaire, semblable a celui du catalyseur dans une réaction chimique. Votre rôle n’est pas du a vos efforts ou a vos erreurs, mais au bon vouloir de ceux qui contrôlent la situation. Vous satisfaites certaines de leurs exigences—en dehors de cela, ils n’ont que peu d’intérêt pour vous. Vous étés utilise non pour ce que peu d’intérêt pour vous. Dans tous les cas, ne changez pas votre attitude. Vous ne pouvez, en aucune manière influer sur la situation. ¶ 6:30 PM 0 Comments
La famiglia. Ogni persona deve avere il proprio ruolo e agire per il bene di tutti. Perno della famiglia e la donna: se in casa regnano ordine e serenita, il figli cercheranno anche all’esterno di costituire rapporti validi e onesti. Disciplina e obbedienza spettano proprio ai figli, mentre ai genitori e richiesto il reciproco e il buon esempio. Questo periodo indica matrimoni fortunatissimi. ¶ 6:27 PM 0 Comments
TAURUS. Friendship is well aspected and it should be possible to find amicable solutions to old quarrels and arguments which can now be viewed in a different light. This should prove to be a particularly pleasant and harmonious phase of your life.
GEMINI. Now is the time to take a back seat and let the world pass you by for a while. Rest and relaxation are what you need and if you are sensible you should see that you get them. Nothing is that important that it can’t wait just a little longer before it is attended to—your health must come first. Visits to the doctor, possibly even a stay in hospital, can all be avoided if you apply the breaks now.
CANCER. After a long period of difficulties some headway can now be made because a major obstacle will no longer stand in your way. Travel and/or a move of home may be necessary before even further progress can be made. But this is a matter of careful consideration and not to be made on the spur of the moment.
LEO. This would be an appropriate time to swallow your pride. There are some facts in life that we all have to accept no matter how unpalatable, and this is what you must do now. Avoid being defiant and learn to bow to the inevitable. Once you have regained self-control you will see that there are other avenues open for you to explore.
VIRGO. Promise of happiness is a reward for something done in the past. During this period an old idea will be reborn making a much greater impact the second time around because of some slight modifications you will choose to make to the original concept. A happy period although there could be that feeling of déjà vu about it all.
LIBRA. Love will be very much on your mind during this period and there is also the possibility of personal gain through a liaison with a member of the opposite sex. This need not necessarily be the person with whom you are conducting a serious relationship—although it could quite well be.
SCORPIO. Happiness is highlighted during this period with family gatherings and get-togethers will most probably be weddings, christenings or anniversary parties. Your private life should be stress-free and settled at this time that you may even feel inclined to starting making new, rather ambitious plans for the future.
SAGITTARIUS. This is when you will need to muster all your fighting spirit if you wish to emerge victorious at the end of the battle. Justice will be done but you must put your case to its best advantage.
CAPRICORN. Your best advice is to keep a low profile. Keep your head well down and do nothing. If however you decide to ignore this warning, you should be prepared for disappointment, failure, interference and screwed-up plans.
AQUARIUS. You should prepare yourself for a general feeling of inconsistency and contradiction about almost anything with which you become involved. Great opportunities for future success could be offered to you during this time but you must proceed with caution if you don’t want to see them vanish before your eyes. Treat anything which appears suspicious with extreme care until this phase passes.
PISCES. This is a time for a major reassessment and the formulation of new plans, probably brought about by a general feeling of dissatisfaction with life. Remember to learn from past experiences—don’t go making the same mistakes all over again. Also, try not to be in too much of a hurry to put your new ideas into action because there are many alternatives to be explored and your first choice may not necessarily be the best. ¶ 9:39 AM 0 Comments
Dear Trupti,
How are you? Thank you so much for your kind note. I'm sorry I wasn't able to write so soon as I just came back from a two weeks' vacation.
For your question on how to obtain handprints, please consult the earlier article in this blog entitled "On Handreading". However, I'd rather suggest that you take digital photos of your hands with clear shots of the lines as shown in the attached picture as an example, rather than messing up with inks and scanning them. In the meantime, I'm sending you under separate cover your horoscope and birthchart for your reading pleasure. Without any obligation whatsoever on your part, please don't hesitate to write again if ever you should need additional information. Warmest regards.
Yours very cordially
Pablo ¶ 7:05 PM 0 Comments
