Dear Hiram,

You are generally kind and mild-mannered in disposition and you go out of your way to compromise if it will maintain peace and order. You strive for harmony in your affairs and in your dealings with people. It is difficult for you to make decisions because you aren’t usually sufficiently aware of all the pertinent facts and you don’t want to offend anyone by what may be a bad judgment.

You are skilled in saying the right thing at the right time to achieve your objectives. You will probably be comfortable in a career involving public where your art of clever communication and dialogue can be demonstrated. You are eager to stay in the mainstream of social activity and try to win as many friends as possible and to stay informed on current social events. You want constant reassurances that you are effective and competent in your chosen field of work and look for approval at every opportunity. You are basically very insecure about your credibility and need the feedback from appreciative audiences to give you the self-confidence that may be lacking.

You identify so much with society that only when you win its admiration do you feel rewarded. You are growth oriented and you usually associate with professional people whose positions might prove helpful to you in gaining the recognition you feel your talents deserve. There is little you can accomplish on your own.

Your physical desires are not overly emphasized in your life. What you desire most is a warm, understanding companion who will give you the moral support to help you to succeed.

You would have a tremendous will to succeed. Hasty and hotheaded, you can be impatient and do not suffer fools gladly. You enjoy exercise, and possess both physical and mental daring. Carelessness can lead to accidents, but your recuperative powers are excellent.

You will possess magnetic powers of attraction and will never be without a string of admirers. As a result your sexuality needs positive expression and must not be suppressed. You tend to be financially generous, if rather gullible. Caution and professional financial advice are advisable. With the happy combination of intuition and logic, you usually posses a shrewd business head. In the Scorpio/Pluto house, your emotional level will be particularly high. However, the influence of Pluto may cause some repression, and sexual expression in particular may be blocked. Although you can be very secretive, any emotional problems will only be resolved by discussion with your partner.

Challenging journeys, for both mind and body, are guaranteed to appeal to you. Education, philosophy, and travel are all very important and you will want to broaden your intellectual horizons and develop an individual philosophy of life. You have a rich fantasy life, which can get out of hand, and a practical approach to life must be encouraged. You are likely to marry a foreigner and move away from your country or place of birth. A philosophical attitude to life may be apparent, along with an innate desire to make the world a better place to live in. If you are motivated and energetic, you would make great efforts to achieve your ambition and you may work for a charity or in the peace movement.

You like to change jobs frequently, and even your career. Ideally, your work needs to have a good mix of intellectual stimulation, and mobility. You are driven by a powerful desire to get to the top. Mars will bring you ambition and a longing for fame and status. However, you may be impatient and find tension hard to deal with when faced with cautious and more plodding colleagues, tempestuous quarrels may result. Your early life may have been strongly affected by an over-assertive paternal presence. You are intensely romantic with a lively imagination that are your attractive attributes. But you must try to keep at least one foot on the ground, instead of surrendering to fantasy.

Being spiritual and selfless, you may possess deep-seated religious or spiritual beliefs. You tend to work best when alone. You are kind and compassionate, with strong sense of social responsibility. As a result, you are ideally suited to a career in the caring or medical professions. You enjoy your own company and need to withdraw from the world every now and then to recharge your energy supplies. You are happy to work behind the scenes, and do not seek acclaim or glory.
