Sun in Leo, Moon in Scorpio

You were born with the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Scorpio. This combination makes for, first of all, a tremendous will and great self-centeredness. You are a proud, commanding, powerful, magnanimous, and very warmhearted person. The qualitative force of Leo combines with the spirit of research and cleverness of Scorpio. These gifts point to a person who will achieve all his goals. You also have an abounding vitality, both psychically and physically. You are aware, sharp, and determined in all matters that require your attention. Your personality, however, is not completely in tune with your more real nature. You act with a deep sense of feeling, passionately and devotedly attached to persons or to causes. Your true feelings are very often submerged. Pride is abnormally developed, and you are easily injured by words of disapproval or insult. In love you are very passionate and have strong sexual feelings. Because the intense magnetic force of the emotions overcomes the reason of Leo, the reactions of Scorpio have sway and make you forget the interests of others. You can combine the synthesis of Leo with the acuteness of Scorpio to investigate and resolve many problems. The key to a better integration of your personality is to sublimate the lower instincts of Scorpio, which can get out of hand, and to develop the ability to better express your inner self.

Ascendant in Virgo, Mercury in the Twelfth House

At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Virgo was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler Mercury is located in the twelfth house.

This indicates that throughout your life you will assume a reserved, quiet, analytical, critical, and receptive attitude.

Although you are not an individual with a very strong ambition, you possess the ability to persevere and exert ingenuity.

Some selfishness is noted. However, if you are able to counteract this trait with your natural helpful and sympathetic attitude and address your positive qualities to resolve the problems of others then you will accomplish your highest spiritual duties and your degree of consciousness and perception will be expanded.

You are not afraid to work but you like to do things where you can use intellectual resources rather than mechanical ones. There is some independence here but don't try to be forceful about it because Virgo's natural habitat is one in which the person is led by some powerful authority and where the important decisions are best made by others.

You are very attentive to detail and this makes you a good worker, especially so in those jobs that require a great deal of precision and observation. You have a desire for purity and though you don't mind relating to others there is something that you do dislike: continuous intrusion of your privacy. Business and practicality should be very important in your life. Although we are not advising you to turn against your natural traits, which make you slightly reserved, we would suggest that when in love you let yourself relax and respond so as to be able to return some of the affection you are receiving.

Life will find you in many situations in which you will function as advisor and counsellor; make use of these opportunities to project the power of your creativeness.

This position denotes a life that has you cast in rather obscure and inconspicuous roles. Your intellect is peculiarly subtle. Your life will be very much motivated by your love for risk and your various activities of a secret nature.

A tendency here is that in spite of your undoubted ability, opportunity may seldom knock at your door. You should try to jump at any chance and not wait for a second occurrence.

Try to emphasize your conscientiousness in all the things you do.

Note: Mercury is technically near the end of house 11 and is therefore interpreted in house 12.

Ascendant in Capricorn, Saturn in the Fifth House

At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Capricorn was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler Saturn is located in the fifth house.

The sign of Capricorn denotes an existence in which temperament is very important. You will give an image of ambition, persistence, will power, consistency and perseverance. You were born with the tendencies to seek material, social, and, perhaps, even political power.

Capricorn tends to a challenging life which forces you to exert all your resources in order to triumph. Because of your tact and prudence, you will be favored with the good will of important people.

Jupiter Conjunct Ascendant

With Jupiter conjunct the Ascendant, you are the picture of optimism. You do nothing in moderation because you are always hopeful that some of your excesses will work out for the best in the long run. You are ambitious, but in satisfying your ambitions, you attempt more than is possible for you.

Saturn in the Fifth House

Saturn was found in the fifth house at the time of your birth. Circumstances may oblige you to appear humble and patient in connection with love affairs and as a response to obstacles that will come between you and the object of your love.

It is possible that unless you can exert good control of your temperament, the obstacles can create a response from you that is harsh and severe. You must view these matters in light of the spiritual cause and effect.  

Moon in the Tenth House

The Moon was found in the tenth house at the time of birth. Among other things, this is an indication of your ability to adjust to varying conditions. Whatever your temperamental qualities may be, destiny will place you in situations where you will have dealings with the public.

Venus in the Eleventh House

Venus was found in the eleventh house at the time of your birth. Your aspirations in life are very aesthetically oriented.

You strive for peace and harmony and if it were left up to you the whole world would be more humane, kind, and considerate. In your more personal relationships, Venus gives you the capability of obtaining substantial gain and assistance through your friends, who will desire to assist you with the best of intentions.

Sun in the Twelfth House

The Sun was in your twelfth house at the time of birth. This may indicate a life full of limitations, obstacles, and human opposition, but at the same time a lot of inner strength and energy.

You are urged to pause and reflect upon your own accumulated history. Take some time for introspection. It may result in a purification process accompanied by some remorse of conscience.
