SCORPIO RISING

You have great depth and you're either a devil or an angel-- there's no in-between. You're willful, self-reliant, courageous, reserved, self-controlled, stoic and hard to understand. You're the silent type, appearing calm on the surface but extremely emotional inside. You have great determination and the strength to overcome any adversity. You need to overcome any resentment or jealousy and the ego must become the servant of the soul. No unevolved soul is born with Scorpio rising. The positions of Mars and Pluto will show what work is to be done in this lifetime.

Scorpio on the 1st House: You project yourself with energy and will-power and back your objectives with tremendous fixed emotional intensity. You're able to draw on hidden sources of power to succeed and often take a literal "do or die" attitude. You have a strong reserve in your personality and you're not easy to know since much lies hidden beneath the surface. You command respect but have a great need to guard against sarcasm and vindictiveness. You see things through no matter what the cost to you, suffering in silence if need be. You're creative and very resourceful, staying cool and collected in times of emergency. If Mars or Pluto is heavily afflicted, you can be extremely ruthless since you're very perceptive of others' weaknesses.

Sagittarius on the 2nd House: You're usually lucky in financial matters and know how to make money multiply. You're not concerned with finances or material resources, but you like to have enough for your needs and to share. You expand your activities through money and there always seems to be enough to do what you want since you're very generous and willing to share. You often provide financial support to religious and/or educational institutions. If you use your material resources for yourself alone, you'll be miserable. Once your conscious and your superconscious connect, you have financial protection.

Capricorn on the 3rd House: You're careful in the expression of your thoughts and you never say or write anything unless you have a definite reason for doing so, giving you a reputation for secrecy. You may be harsh and exacting in your speech since your words are calculated for maximum impact. Your early environment is seldom happy. You're often misunderstood and feel it's useless to explain yourself. You're apt to have your early education interrupted, but you're always studying. You're inclined to brood over disappointments and must guard against moods of depression. You take yourself far too seriously and need to learn to laugh and see life in proper perspective. In early years, your health is not robust, but it gets better as you get older.

Aquarius on the 4th House: Your home life is unusual and distinctive and there's something out of the ordinary about your home and/or your family. You experience many domestic upsets and changes of residence. You would rather have friends visit you than you visit them. You'll make your own way no matter what the cost, but you must learn self-discipline and service before you get the true freedom you crave. You're easily irritated and have a tremendous self-love that's not recognized by your personality, both making you difficult to live with. You know little about love and what you call love is desire. You're not peaceful and loving until you operate on the soul level. You blame others for self-generated problems and must air your difficulties and them bury them forever to eliminate resentment.

Pisces on the 5th House: You're surprisingly sentimental in affairs of the heart and you serve loved ones with no thought for yourself. However, your children and those you love are often a source of disillusion. There is some frustration in your creativity and self-expression since you feel a far greater sense of power than you can express. You gain pleasure from seclusion and the study of mysticism. You can be a devil or and angel but not half and half. You must function from the soul level rather than the personality.

Aries on the 6th House: You're a natural leader who's efficient, powerful and original in doing what seems to be impossible. You extend a helping hand when others are in trouble but you can be bossy to co-workers and subordinates. You expect those you help to develop strength and self-sufficience to continue on alone. You have a sense of tremendous power, but you can't use it until you're willing to be nothing in order to be something. You're an excellent, untiring worker but, if your efforts are unnoticed or unappreciated, you feel resentment. You must learn to truly appreciate others to be appreciated by them. You're far too quick to pass judgment on others.

Taurus on the 7th House: Although you're very dependent on others, you hide it behind an air of independence and are often a loner. You take great pride in your appearance and spend money on lovely things of quality and on your partner(s). You're cooperative in partnerships, but you expect some practical gain as a result. You must learn stability and steadiness and to give equality and take responsibility in relationships. You attract wealthy marriage partners and once you give your affections, you don't easily change them. You'll attempt to stay in a marriage despite any difficulties due to your pride. You nature is deep and intense and you have fixed opinions and ideas.

Gemini on the 8th House: You're intellectually interested in mystery and after death states and you're often occupied with thoughts and communications concerning death and the affairs of the dead. You have many ideas about joint finances. You're very restless. Your great interest in sex is more of the mind than the emotions. If afflicted, you can be a "Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde" and, if unredeemed, you're very vindictive. You pass judgment on others and you show little mercy. You're often beset by guilt and you project these feelings on others because you're seldom able to face your own mistakes and errors. You're truly powerful when you seek to be used by the power to help and to heal others and not to use the power for yourself.

Cancer on the 9th House: You're emotional and tenacious in areas of religion and philosophy and your religious philosophy is strongly tied to service to others. You penetrate the mysteries of life through unusual dreams and visions, and although your psychic perceptions give you foresight, you cling to your family religion. You're understanding and have a sensitivity and psychic awareness of the needs of the public. You have a strong desire to mother and sustain others. You have a great desire to travel, both physically (preferably by water) and spiritually.

Leo on the 10th House: You're ambitious in your career but you must work, wait and be tested before you can lead. You often achieve positions of leadership and authority and are admired for your accomplishments. You, in turn, are proud of your standing in the community, but you receive this prestige only if you use a loving attitude rather than a demanding one. Once you learn to rule through love, not discipline, you'll reach the top in any profession you choose. You have a great ability to organize.

Virgo on the 11th House: You exert yourself for your friends, especially those in need of your help. You cultivate friends through work because you're more shy than you appear and you're apt to shun large crowds. You're able to utilize practical ideas and skills of your associates. Your goals are reached by service, purity, dispassion and humility and you're willing to help the underdog. You have a magnetic attunement to animals, possibly because you find it easier to be with "inferiors" rather than with "equals". You have a strong unapparent inferiority complex.

Libra on the 12th House: Your hidden strength is your innate sense of justice and fair play. Your insight and perception are very important to you, although you tend to see other through your eyes rather than in their own light. You're more refined and gentle than you want others to believe. You enjoy the seclusion of places of beauty and an unconscious desire for luxury may be the cause of your self-undoing. Your regeneration lies in learning cooperation and to be outgoing to others and, until you redeem and transform yourself, you seldom have a happy marriage. If Venus or Saturn is afflicted, you have dues to pay due to your lack of cooperation and love in a previous life. The houses the planets are in show where love and cooperation must be used. You must learn to recognize your need to change without self-pity or self-condemnation.
