Birthchart Reading

So one of my lovely lovely wonderful watchers saw my 2nd to last journal asking about Astrological fire signs and she was so sweet she offered to do a reading of my birthchart for me! I loved it!! I loved it so much I had to share it! (I would also share the name and launch a whole bunch of praises on her here but I just worry that she'd get flooded with requests and that's no way for me to show my appreciation at all).

The following... I find to be pretty true.

Sun sign: Cancer
Receptive, Sensitive, and imaginative, sympathetic, kind, and emotional, and possesses an active, shrewd, and intuitive mind. Is ruled by the moon, so your moods will change as the moon does.

Rising sign: Virgo
Virgo ascending indicates an analytical outlook. Though the degree of emotionalism depends on other influences in your horoscope, it is generally through the mind that you perceive the world. This is not to say you are cold and insensitive. Indeed, the opposite is true, for Virgo ascendents have deep and tender emotions and care a great deal about others. However, it is the process of thinking logically that gives you the deepest satisfaction. You appreciate the finely tuned mechanics of sifting through facts and information, finding the truth of the matter, introducing order and reason into almost any situation. Rising-Virgos are rather fixed in opinion, but not so inflexible that they will not change their minds upon careful review of opposing facts. To you, the cardinal sin is to be ignorant of one's ignorance. A fault sometimes is your inability to put things in perspective, a proclivity for getting bogged down in minutiae and losing sight of the big picture. You magnify the importance of a petty detail and then become resentful if others fail to see its significance.

Work is important to you, and you usually accomplish a great deal during your lifetime. often you are at war within yourself between wanting things to come easily and your great need to achieve solely through your own efforts. Control-both of self and of events- is what makes you feel secure. As it turns out, most Rising-Virgos do gain through their own hard work rather than through the influence of others.

You have a charm and elegance that is difficult to pin down. You are not always easy to intimately.Your shyness and aloofness (sometimes well disguised as a social veneer) must be penetrated by anyone who wishes to become truly close. Emotionally, it's hard for you to show your feelings, though a great deal is always going on under the surface. As children, Rising-Virgos sometimes suffer from poor health. happily, health improves the older you get. For many of you, a marriage partner brings property or wealth. Later in life, Rising-Virgos frequently become property owners, often in a foreign country. Success for you is often linked to dealings in and and travel to places far from home. As a Rising-Virgo person, You tend to have a gentle, oval face, eyes that sweep around a room and take in everything, and a body that gives the impression of frailty, but is actually very strong.

The planet Mercury, which rules Virgo, is very prominent in your horoscope. The influence of Mercury bestows a logical mind, acute powers of observation, an intellectual outlook, perception, and a flair for science and writing. It also encourages fussiness, a nervous temperament, sarcasm, fault-finding, and worry.

Moon: Cancer
Since Cancer is ruled by the Moon, the influence on you is increased. Your emotional and intuitive levels are second to none, and you should learn to trust and rely on your instincts. When worried you tend to think the worst has happened. Moon-in-Cancers also make excellent and loving parents. From a physical point of view, the digestive system will be upset by worry, and it is frequently the case for those with this placing have very sensitive skins, whatever their ethnic coloring.
You tend to hoard things and try to avoid cleaning out clutter. And your mood may change quickly, and you may suffer from an above average way from premenstrual tension. You may also have a tiny frown line between your eyebrows.

Mercury:Cancer
You have an almost sixth sense intuition and pick up signals form all around you. You believe if we had to depend on only our eyes we would see very little. You are chameleon like in the way you are able to adapt yourself to different kinds of people. This does not mean you don't cling possessively to your own ideas. Indeed, you are a bit narrow minded, but others would need to be as psychic as you are to discern this. On the surface it is not evident; you maintain a charming social face. Your outlook is always intensely personal- you're fond of discussing large events in terms of your own feelings.Gifted with powerful imagination, a sense of poetry and a fine memory, Mercury in Cancer people are successful as scholars, historians, teachers, and writers. You are likely to make a profit in real estate and may inherit money from the maternal side of your family. Sometimes you are plagued with irrational phobias, such as a fear of flying.

Venus:Leo
You are romantic and sensitive. Being loved is more important to you than almost anything else, though you often conceal this need under a shell of reserve. You are not, however, so blindly romantic that you don't carefully consider future security. For example, If you are a woman you make sure you won't end up sharing your lover's poverty or struggling to support him. In a love affair you would much rather be pursued than do the pursuing: you need the reassurance that someone wants you enough to go after you. Once you feel secure you are demonstrative and sensual. You have a wonderful gift for eloquence and you are also intensely sentimental. You will make a big fuss over your lover's birthday and remember the anniversary of the day you first met. This position of Venus indicates strong family loyalty. Venus-Cancerians are delightfully content to be at home and love to cook.

Mars: Cancer
You have great strength of will but it is never thrust into the open. Like the tides, you wear down opposition by repeated assault. Each wave may accomplish little, but the accumulated effect is overpowering. In sex, Mars in Cancer's approach is emotional. You are sensuous but refined, and your lovemaking is a highly intuitive art. Your passion, however, is dependent on what is forthcoming from a lover. If a lover is insensitive or unresponsive, he or she may find that your get up and go just got up and went. Yet as a native of this Mars placement, you will cling to a relationship that does not make you happy. You react only in outbursts of temper and nervous irritability. What you often require is an outlet for your pent up energies. You are noted for your breadth of vision and highly emotional work.

Jupiter:Sagittarius
Sagittarius is the sign ruled by Jupiter and the planet's expansive, generous qualities are emphasized.With Jupiter in this position, you are a person who likes to live well; you have a free hand with spending. Fortunately, you usually attract financial luck. No other Jupiter position augurs as much success in this area. As a native; you have an instinct for turning ideas into cash; you think big and profit accordingly. You also tend to marry well and many of you inherit money. Jupiter in Sagittarius, though, does not make the personality crass or materialistic. You are high minded and idealistic. You will often give up a well-paying position if it doesn't suit your inner calling. Gifted with great intellectual capacity, you are drawn to professions in law, government, diplomacy, and the world of literature and philosophy. Your luckiest time of the year are when the sun is in Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius.

Saturn: Libra
Libra is a favorable sign for Saturn. As a Saturn-Libran you are gifted with good judgment and an instinct for making the right impression on others. You know when to be aggressive and when to be diplomatic. Though it is part of Saturn's lesson to bring some sorrow and disappointment in relationships, you usually benefit from the stability of marriage. However, there may be a divorce before you find happiness with a mate. Sometimes an early love affair turns out to be the love of your life, but ends in loss. Saturn in Libra may suppress the desire to share and be close to another person, which often results in loneliness. In general, this is an excellent position for success in public life, and also for a strong showing of in artistic pursuits. It has been said that if your Saturn is in Libra, you will only get into trouble when you are doing what you ought not to be doing. Saturn-Librans are susceptible to back injuries and kidney problems.
