At Your Core
At your innermost core you are an inquisitive, restless and natural communicator who was born with the ability to present yourself to the world with a dramatic flair designed to make you the center of attention. (Sun in Leo & Moon in Gemini) A compassionate, idealistic and service oriented individual, (Sun square Neptune and in the sixth house) you possess charisma, (Venus trine Neptune and sextile Pluto) along with strength, stamina, timing and patience. (Mars trine Saturn) You have a natural curiosity about your heritage and an almost instinctual need for a home and family. (Moon in Gemini and the fourth house) You also possess the ability to communicate with style, (Gemini Moon along with Mercury and Sun in Leo) exceptional organizational ability, (Sun & Mercury in Leo and the sixth house) and a powerful work ethic. (Sun in the sixth house along with Mars trine Saturn) On the other hand you can also be rather naïve & impressionable with unrealistic, utopian ideals, (Sun & Mercury square Neptune) a tendency to promise more than you can deliver, (Mercury opposite Jupiter) and can, at times, appear to be bossy and egocentric. (Leo Sun opposite the Ascendant)

How you appear to others
With Aquarius rising you appear to others to be an original, independent and unique individualist. You seem to march to your own beat and can easily lean toward the arts, sciences, literature and distinctly humanitarian causes. Surprisingly determined, you resist censorship, are probably perceived as being intelligent and in many ways can seem to be ahead of your contemporaries. To be your best, you need to avoid the appearance of being too radical, eccentric or out of touch with the norm. With the ruler of the first in the seventh, (Uranus)forming relationships and partnerships is a primary concern. You are a social, people oriented person with the desire and ability to bring people together. Compromise and cooperation are an intregal part of your personality. One persistent problem (Uranus, your ruling planet, square the midheaven) is that you have a tendency to cause, and/or experience, sudden and unexpected changes, twists and turns (Uranus) with your career path, status and reputation. (the midheaven)  As a politician, your open enemy’s (seventh house) will quickly (Uranus) bring up any association with eccentric or radical (Uranus) people or ideas to question your status and reputation. (MC) It is best therefore to learn as early as possible to conform just a bit more than you would like to avoid being seen as a rebel without a cause or as just another radical. In addition, you are probably the kind of person who doesn’t like being alone for very long. With the Sun opposite the ascendant, inner tensions make it difficult for you to always express your ego and will in a harmonious fashion. At times you can even come across as being overbearing,  bossy, egotistic and a bit vain. Another negative characteristic that you can actually use to your advantage is that you have a deceptive first appearance. This is because with the Sun (who you really are) opposite the ascendant (how you appear to others), you are, in reality, the opposite of how you first appear. It takes a while for someome to get past how you appear to be and get to know who you really are. For an astrologer to learn who you really are we need to examine the lights in your horoscope.

The Sun
The Sun represents your ego, will and vitality. It tells the astrologer about your most basic self, vitality and how you present yourself to the world. Aspects to the Sun will modify its expression but nothing will cause you to stray too very far away from the essential nature of the sign where the Sun was at the time of your birth. With the Sun in Leo you express your ego and will in a manner that is proud, noble, attention getting and dramatic. With strong creative abilities and the desire and ability to become the center of attention, your most basic self is that of a leader and organizer. Affectionate, romantic, vain and more than just determined, you are susceptible to flattery and crave respect. You think you are important, were born to lead, and therefore have little interest in compromising your values. As a result you won’t tolerate any form of chicanery or want to involve yourself with lies or liars. You want others to see you as you see yourself, which is as a trusted leader born with the ability to present himself with flair and style; someone who is a winner and not a quitter or loser. In fact, you will march to the ends of the earth if you believe it is the correct way for you to become the admired center of attention. With the sun in the sixth house, your most basic self easily applies its ego and will to the job. You are in fact probably very good at what you do. You have pride in your work and expect recognition for your well-developed, craftsman like skills. You are good with the tools of your trade, are very precise and very careful to dot all your I’s and cross all your T’s. Naturally critical, you have high standards and want everything you do to be perfect. Health is often an important concern and nutrition should be studied. You may be quite proud of both your wardrobe and your pets. You were born with a natural understanding of being of service to others. You will apply yourself to learn all there is to know about your job and are the type to take additional classes and put in the extra time to learn how to do your job better. You are good with details but need to be sure to balance work with play as you could have a tendency to work too much. However, inner tensions sometimes cause your most basic nature to confuse fact with fiction. (Neptune square the Sun) You may be overly sensitive, imaginative, compassionate and more than a bit naive. In fact, you have a powerful imagination, love to day dream and wonder "what if...?" You can easily suffer from some form of self-deception as your ego and will are prone to illusion. You probably have an addictive personality and must absolutely avoid alcohol and drugs as they could eventually lead to very serious problems. Your father, or a father figure to you, could be surrounded with mystery and/or be associated with another culture. (Neptune square the Sun from the ninth) A negative consequence of your Sun Neptune square, along with your natural desire to compromise and form relationships, (your ruling planet in the seventh house) could combine to make you highly suseptable to being deceived by those who can appeal to your ego, ideology,  or naivete. You want to believe they are working with you but, in reality, they aren't.  While compromise is a wonderful personality trait, there are times when  leaders shouldn't compromise. They should lead and do what it takes get the job done.  You are currently the most powerful person in the world. Get your agenda in gear and hold those who disrupt you responsible for their actions. The world stage, and the future of your county, is no place to be learning this important life lesson.  
 
The Moon
The position of the Moon in a horoscope tells the astrologer about your emotional nature, your needs, instincts, and where you experience change. She is concerned with your feminine side, women in general and your family. With the Moon in Gemini and the fourth house, you express your emotions in a restless and curious manner indicating an inner need to gather information and communicate. You are emotionally clever and quick-witted and probably spend a lot of time on the phone. In fact, the latest phone with all the coolest new features would be a great gift for you. Your emotions change frequently, so frequently in fact that you often don't know how you really feel about anything. This makes it easier for you than most to remove emotion from your thought process when making important decisions. Your feelings are strong, (The Moon is aspected by The Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto) but they can change very rapidly. (Moon in Gemini square Uranus and Pluto) The Moon in the fourth house tells us that you were born with an emotional and instinctive need for a home and family. You probably possess an aptitude or at the very least an interest for dealing with real estate, ecology or genealogy. With your Moon in a mutable sign you will have moved often in your youth and won't establish more permanent roots until the second half of life. With numerous lunar aspects, you attack life with an instinct for what to do and how to get it done. In fact, with so many lunar aspects and few solar aspects, you learned the important lessons of life; that is who you are and how you fit into society, your values and manner of living your life, from your mother and her side of the family. Your wife will continue this educative process. With the Moon sextile Mercury and trine both Jupiter and Saturn, you communicate often and well and have numerous family and domestic interests. Travels, both short and long are probably numerous, enjoyable and beneficial. You have an excellent memory and tend to communicate especially well with women. Your emotional nature is essentially optimistic, generous and outgoing with an interesting blend of reality and pragmatism due to the trine to both Jupiter and Saturn. This sharply contrasts with the Sun in your horoscope which is more impressionable, idealistic and naive. In other words, anything but pragmatic. This is one of your great struggles. How to blend your realistic, constructive and pragmatic feelings and instincts (the Moon) with your impressionable, naive and idealistic true self. (The Sun) This is magnified by your negative Mercury Jupiter aspect which wants to distort or adjust the facts to fit your current wants and desires. Moving on, your family instilled both morals and a sense of religion in you at an early age. You should benefit from that along with your dealings with the public and women in general. You find it easy to express your emotions in a responsible and steady manner that is designed to bring you some form of domestic security. (The Moon trine Saturn) You are also ambitious, responsible, and take few if any emotional risks. The trine between your Moon and Saturn helps ground you in reality. This is very important because of your Sun Neptune square. Without the Moon Saturn trine you would be far more idealistic, naive and impressionable than you already are. However, with the Moon square both Uranus and Pluto, inner tensions could easily cause you to emotionally react in a surprisingly unexpected, knee jerk manner. In your youth this probably caused a few errors that hurt and taught you to separate your emotions from your thought process when making important decisions. At times, you can be too independent while refusing to be tied down or held back for very long. Unique, overly independent and even a bit controlling could also describe the women in your life who will probably enter your life suddenly and unexpectedly. Your intensely passionate and secretly held emotions (Moon square Pluto) are at odds with your basic personality. Emotional mistakes and the negative circumstances that result, will be burned into your subconscious as important lessons learned at an early age. You must also guard against becoming too manipulative or controlling, as this will cause serious problems in your home and family life. Your horoscope indicates strong leadership qualities. As a result you can be the boss of anything you chose except your home. That is your wife's domain. (Moon in the fourth house) The Moon also rules the sign Cancer on your sixth house of work. It is very possible that you met your better half and the queen of your home, (Moon on the fourth house of home and family) on the job. Now, go back to the top of the page and click the link that says Page 2.
