"A bare-chested man stands on a rock in the middle of heavy seas and raging storm." (Janduz
version)
Honest, tough, and determined character. One courageously copes with ordeals, and once the
storm subsides, one successfully rebuilds a life of rectitude and prosperity which commands the
respect of one's entourage. If in the natal chart, Mars is in conjunction with this degree or in the
1st House, one is most likely to wield power and enjoy public esteem in foreign countries.
The First House or Ascendant represents one's behaviour in the eyes of others, and also one's
health. It corresponds to the way the individual acts in the world. It is the image of the
personality seen by others and the person's visible behaviour expressed outwardly. The 1st
House is in analogy with Aries and thus Mars too, and then the Sun. It is an angular house, the
most important one with the Midheaven, maybe even more so due to its link with the body and
health.
Ascendant in Capricorn
Your psychological nature is introverted and cold, totally controlled and phlegmatic, at least
regarding the image you project invariably. You seem unemotional and austere. Actually, your
secondarity chews over the strategies or responses that you create as a recation to the
environment. You are slow but very thoughtful, solid and balanced. You are as curt as you are
cold and you put the strength of your character at the service of your huge and long-term
ambition. Or you may be detached from the earthly riches and you focus on spiritual values.
Like all the people born under an apparently reserved and tough sign, your inner personality is
often charming and gentle, as if the thick armour, forged throughout childhood, had entirely
preserved the purity and the warmth of the soul imprisoned within.
With this Ascendant, you come across as serious, cold, disciplined, patient, focused, thoughtful,
ambitious, indomitable, cautious, lucid, persistent, provident, steady, introverted, stern, wilful,
hard-working, responsible, persevering, honest, realistic, loyal, reserved, resolute, moralistic,
quiet, rigorous, attached and reliable. But you may also be curt, withdrawn, calculating, petty,
cruel, unpleasant, ruthless, selfish, dull, rigid, slow or sceptical.
Interpretation of the 5 Capricorn symbolic degree
"A man with a puppy on each shoulder carries a heart crowned with flames in his stretched
out hand." (Janduz version)
Devoted, selfless, and loyal character. One is totally wrapped up in one's sole passion, be it a
romantic attachment or a higher expression of love implying self-sacrifice such as, for example,
a daughter who attends to her widowed father, or the founder of a charity institution, etc. In any
case, one's altruism receives public recognition. This degree warns against possible slanders.
The North Node (True Node here) represents the goals that must be achieved during life, in the
karmic sense according to some traditions. Its position in house indicates in what field an effort
is necessary in order to evolve. The North Node is often called the Dragon's head, it is usually
considered beneficial, a bit like Jupiter with the planets. The Lunar nodes are fictional points and
not actual heavenly bodies: they are the intersections of the Moon with the Ecliptic (the path
made by the Sun in its orbit as seen from the Earth). The axis of the Lunar nodes moves 19
degrees each year, namely a bit more than three minutes each day.
The South Node is diametrically opposed to the North Node, therefore it faces it (it's not drawn
here, it's the same symbol but upside down). It symbolizes what has already been achieved or
acquired, in a karmic sense: it's the past from which it's advised to move on in order to progress.
The South Node is rather negative, of a Saturnian nature: the experience through suffering.
Interpretation of the 1 Capricorn symbolic degree
"Two men get out of a house carrying a reed on their shoulder as if it were a heavy burden.
On the roof, the weathercock points to no particular direction." (Janduz version)
Futile, restless, and indecisive character. Huge efforts are made even though the task requires
none. Owing to procrastination, nice opportunities are missed. Furthermore, many good
initiatives are doomed to failure for lack of perseverance. Life is most likely to unfold in
precariousness and to end up in sadness, unless one decides to become serious and display
tenacity, straight away.
Pluto represents deep transformations, mutations and eliminations, sexuality and magnetism,
power and secrets, destruction with a view to regeneration, the phoenix rising from the ashes. Its
element is indefinite; burning (like lava in fusion ?), it rules Scorpio, is in exaltation in Pisces
and is in analogy with the sexual organs and excretion.
It represents dictators, sadistic people, violent characters, is instinctive and powerful but also
mysterious with hidden strengths.
Temperament : Lymphatic
Characterology : Emotive, non Active and Primary type or Non-Emotive, non Active and
Primary, Nervous or Amorphous type.
Moon in Scorpio
On the day and at the time of your birth, the Moon was in the sign of Scorpio. Your instincts
deeply influence your thinking process and your actions. There are a lot of impulsiveness and
violence in you. But they are only the other side of the coin of you direct and innate receptivity
that gives you the amazing ability to perceive what is really at stake in any given situation. You
also have extraordinary psychological skills. You are impervious to prevailing trends and tastes
and you prefer to create a unique lifestyle for yourself alone. You are very selective in your
intimate sphere and you accept as friends only the persons who can be naturally integrated in
your quite special realm. You carefully maintain your distance with all intruders. Closeness
needs time.
Moon in House X
With the Moon in the 10th House, and according to the Tradition, popularity is favoured. In the
best cases, it goes without saying that your social and professional undertakings are successful.
Harnessing a gift, often an artistic one, naturally leads you to success. However, not everybody
is bound to experience such a nice situation. Sometimes, the fact that one lets oneself be carried
away by life results in disillusions. Bohemian lifestyle does not turn out well for everybody!
Moon Dominant
If the Moon is part of your natal chart's planetary dominants, in astrology, you are said to be a
Lunarian: the driving force behind your actions is mainly the pursuit of well-being and
tranquillity. Your sensitive and romantic self lives on those periods of rest during which you let
your imagination wander at will. This is your way of finding inspiration and balance. Nothing is
allowed to disturb your feeling of fulfilment and security within a harmonious cell, be it a
family or a clan. More than other people, the Lunarian is attached to those moments during
which one forgets one's worries and lets oneself cast adrift aimlessly, with no other goal than to
be lulled into an ambiance, a situation, or a perfect moment. Many people do not understand
such absences and their meaning, which is to regain strength. These people readily describe you
with such unflattering terms as apathy and nonchalance. Never mind! Some inspirations require
surrendering as well as striking a balance derived from alternate action and passivity. Your
qualities are expressed to the fullest in situations which demand familiarity and privacy. Your
capacities to respect and blend into your environment is at least as valuable as some other
people's aggressive dispositions. However, you are well-advised to avoid indolence and
renunciation out of laziness or indifference.
Interpretation of the 15 Scorpio symbolic degree
"On the seashore, birds of prey chase away a wolf which tries to get near a carcass." (Janduz
version)
Independent, scheming, and quarrelsome character. One does not hesitate to embark on
dangerous adventures, which brings about in failure and ruin.
The Tenth House still called the Midheaven, is the highest point amidst the houses, at the top
of the chart, in the South, and relates to destiny in general and career (and not daily work as
meant by the Sixth House). The Midheaven represents our achievements and goals in the social
sphere, our social position in society, and becomes more and more important as we get older. It
is in analogy with Capricorn and Saturn. The Tenth House is the most important angular house
along with the Ascendant.
Midheaven in Scorpio
Your destiny is not simple, to say the least, and very often marked with reversals of fortune.
You transform other people and yourself alike! You are patient and clear-sighted, and you are
on the lookout for the right time to unleash all your powers and your enormous might with a
view to reaching the goal you set for yourself, and which you have every chance to achieve.
You are not only persevering and resilient, but the worst tragedies and crises have a stimulating
effect on you. Nothing can stop you as far as domination and business are concerned. Your urge
to wield power continuously fuels your energy.
Since your energy, your power of action, and your creativity are intense, you can be successful
in the following areas: any occupation in the police and the military, miner, volcanologist,
engineer, atomic scientist, scientific researcher, computer designer, surgeon, gynaecologist,
sexologist, psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, dowser, astrologer, occultist, medium, clairvoyant,
mystic, corporate manager, banker, financial counsellor specialised in stock exchanges or
investments, funeral director, as well as politician leader.
Interpretation of the 3 Scorpio symbolic degree
"A wreath of laurel is hung on a harpsichord. Violins, a painting palette and brushes are lain
on a nearby table." (Janduz version)
Calm, generous, and caring character endowed with great artistic gifts. All forms of art are very
favoured, especially music, but also poetry, dance, painting, the cinema, etc. Success and
universal fame are achieved through artistic disciplines.
Jupiter represents expansion and power, benevolence, large vision and generosity. Its element is
Air, it is hot and moist, and it rules Sagittarius and Pisces (along with Neptune), is in exaltation
with Cancer and is in analogy with the hips and endocrinal system.
It represents the governors, magistrates, professors, religious men too; the age of Jupiter goes
from 50 to 55 or even 70 years old.
Temperament : Sanguine
Characterology : Emotive, Active, Primary type; it is an extrovert Choleric. Actually the humid
version of Mars, inclined to action like him.
Jupiter in Virgo
The planet Jupiter symbolizes expansion, broadness and generosity. Jupiter is associated with
the functions of synthesis, enthusiasm and optimism. In your natal chart, his house position is
more important than his sign position because, like Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, he is a
slow planet. Many people born in the same period have Jupiter in the same sign. This is the
reason why the sign occupied here is less meaningful than when it is occupied by the so-called
fast planets, i.e. the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars. Therefore, some caution is to be
exercised as you read what follows. Jupiter in Virgo gives you a talent for work, for practical
activities and a higher than average dexterity. You have a strong sense of duty. You are very
appreciated in your work environment because you are a perfectionist. The Tradition underlines
that all the fields related to health and physical wellbeing are favoured.
Jupiter in House VIII
With Jupiter in the 8th House, you are endowed with great faculties of abnegation, adaptation,
and insertion into social life. Whenever the situation demands it, you renounce your interests or
your objectives and you blend into the group. This configuration is that of self-sacrifice,
symbolic deaths and different rebirths, for the sake of codified and freely accepted morals.
Renunciation, self-sacrifice and altruism are qualities you claim as your own.
Jupiter Dominant
If Jupiter is part of your natal chart's planetary dominants, in astrology, you are said to be a
Jupiterian: because this planet brings about a keen interest in social and professional success,
the Tradition considers it to be beneficial. Indeed, you know how to adjust to events and to
jump at the chance when it arises. The members of you entourage gladly entrust you with high
responsibilities because they are often impressed by your learning skills and your adaptation
abilities as you deal with new structures and new languages. What is the secret of your good
star? It is your self-confidence which wins public support. Now, what is the secret of your
charm? Definitely, enthusiasm, euphoria, and exaltation. Exaggeration also. When this
dominant is well integrated, it is a factor of affluence and optimism, and a certain degree of
joviality enables you to easily fit into various spheres. It constitutes your main asset to manage
your life. However, you must at times curb your desire for integration, lest your sense of
opportunity turns into extreme opportunism. Here also, the key to success lies in a correct
estimate of everyone's chances and possibilities. Although management is one of your forte,
and you can adjust your objectives to current realities better than other people, you lack the
hindsight which enables you to avoid short-term vagaries and daily fluctuations. If you strive
too much to adapt, you run a risk of betraying yourself. This is the other traditional side of the
coin with "The Greater Benefic"!
Interpretation of the 4 Virgo symbolic degree
"An eagle is about to take flight while a man wearing boots and a helmet, perhaps a rescue
worker, checks his equipment." (Janduz version)
Courageous, helpful, and self-disciplined character endowed with sharp intellectual abilities.
One is driven by noble instincts and such values as the sense of duty and honour. One
demonstrates devotion towards friends and intransigence towards opponents. This degree, one
of the few Virgo degrees which is influenced by Mars instead of Mercury, indicates that success
and fame are achieved after many a struggle.
The Part of Fortune is an ancient concept, used by Ptolemy and other astrologers before him.
Firstly, it has nothing to do with fortune! In modern astrology, it is actually used to enhance a
planet or angle when in close conjunction with it: it thus amplifies the meaning associated to the
point affected by its presence. It is calculated in the following way:
Part of Fortune = AS + Moon - Sun (it is the Moons position when the Sun rises)
The classical Part of Fortune, of which the calculus method is unchanged whether in a diurnal or
nocturnal chart, is usually distinguished from the diurnal/nocturnal Part of Fortune which is
calculated by the formula AS + Sun - Moon for a nocturnal chart, and AS + Moon - Sun in a
diurnal chart.
We currently use the latter formula for our astrological programmes.
Interpretation of the 15 Cancer symbolic degree
"A man who could be Samson pulls down the pillars of the Temple, a dead lion at his feet. A
few steps below, a hedgehog rests its paw on a dead snake." (Janduz version)
Noble, righteous, and helpful character. Ordeals and obstacles are numerous and varied, but
easily overcome. However, gentle manners must not to be mistaken for weakness because one
is endowed with great physical, intellectual, and moral strength. People would be well-advised
not to try and pick a quarrel with this person.
The Sun represents vitality, individuality, will-power and creative energy and honours. For a
woman, it also represents her father, and later her husband. The Sun is one of the most important
symbols in the birth chart, as much as the Ascendant, then the Moon (a bit less for a man), the
ruler of the Ascendant and the fast-moving planets.
It's element is fire; it is hot and dry, it governs Leo, is in exaltation in Aries and is in analogy
with the heart. It represents the boss, authority, beside the father and the husband ; the age of the
Sun goes from 20 years old to about 40, following the Venus age when one is aware of his
seductive power.
Temperament : Bilious
Venus represents the way one loves, relationships, sharing, affectivity, seductive ability. For
men, she also corresponds to the kind of woman he's attracted to (but not especially in marriage
which is more symbolized by the Moon, Venus is the lover and not the wife). Her element is the
Air, she is moist, rules Taurus and Libra, is in exaltation in Pisces and is in analogy with the
kidneys, the venous system, the bladder, the neck.
She represents the artists, tradesmen, occupations linked to beauty and charm; the age of Venus
goes from 15 to about 25 years old.
Characterology : Emotive, non Active and Primary type or Emotive, non Active and Secondary
type.
Venus in Taurus
Venus describes your affective life. On the day of your birth, she is found in Taurus. The most
important thing for you is to retain sensations and feelings. You taste them, you savour them
with sensuality and often, with greed. You respond to all palpable and tangible things. Your
amorous life, like your artistic sensitivity, constantly involves your demanding and selective
sensuality. There can be no balance without love. Passion is wild, imperious and final. Your
strongly developed sensuality is demanding. Sensual pleasure is as important, more important
in some cases, than cerebral connivance. You are not content with short-lived unions You
want to take the time to enjoy your love, to savour its happiness and its spices. Your ideal is to
couple the comfort of a lasting relationship with sensual fulfilment. Appetite is fine but it may
tend to become bulimia! A demanding sensuality may be tyrannical. The sign of Taurus in its
pure essence becomes the victim and the slave of its passions. Of course, you are not the
manifestation of this Taurus in its pure essence. But it is likely that you have to handle the
necessities of your mighty and complex affectivity. Your memory for feelings is very strong
You never forget loyalty and similarly, you never forget your grudges.
Venus in House IV
Venus expresses her characteristics through the 4th House values. It is within the intimacy of
your family world that your affectivity reveals itself and blossoms. Your sentimental attitudes
are very selective. It is impossible for you to love just anybody, anywhere. You keep your
affective surges for those who belong to your clan, whether this clan is made of the members of
your family, or your closed friends. Therefore, you exclude a priori persons who are too
different, and you limit your love to a reassuring home.
Venus Dominant
If Venus is part of your natal chart's planetary dominants, in astrology, you are said to be a
Venusian: you are a sensual and emotional person particularly receptive to the natural likes and
dislikes aroused by your contact with people. You are prone to frequent instinctive aversions
and true passions which are exclusively driven by the feeling of love. The heart has its reasons
which Reason knows nothing of... Your balance is based on the richness of your affective life.
Without love, the Venusian is resourceless, lost, and deprived of any reason for living. You
have an obvious and strong will to charm and to arouse the attachments without which you
cannot properly function. Every area of your life is thus marked by your affectivity. The danger
is that you may "be taken in" by charm. In such cases, you would prefer to keep your emotions
under better control. Thus, hyper-sensitivity has its own inconveniences. Nevertheless, better
than anyone else, you know how to play with feelings and attractions. Although you are
sometimes caught in the traps of an over sensitive emotionalism, feelings remain your best
assets in many circumstances. There is another aspect to the Venusian dominant. According to
the Tradition, this planet rules the Arts, and you are endowed with some degree of artistic
dispositions, ranging from good to excellent.
Interpretation of the 17 Taurus symbolic degree
"In a farm yard, two bulls and two billy goats butthead." (Janduz version)
Ebullient, combative, and irascible character. One is always willing to take up arms, for
trivialities and serious matters alike. Foolhardiness may prompt numerous enemies to take
violent reprisals. It is necessary to recall that He who takes the sword shall perish by the
sword.
Mercury represents communication, logical and rational mind, intellectual skills. Earth is its
element, it is cold and dry, and it rules Virgo and Gemini, is in exaltation in Virgo and is in
analogy with the arms, hands, nervous system.
It represents tradesmen, lawyers, messengers; the age of Mercury goes from 8 or10 years old to
about 15..
Temperament : Nervous
Characterology : Emotive, non Active and Primary type or Non-Emotive, Active and Primary,
Nervous or Sanguine type.
Mercury in Taurus
Mercury describes your relations, your communication skills and the way you relate to the
external world. However, other astrological elements also influence these areas. The sign
Mercury occupies is significant only if Mercury is part of your planetary dominantes. In your
chart, Mercury is in Taurus. You need to ascertain the worth of whatever you want to
assimilate. You display caution in the areas of relationship and the integration of knowledge.
You do not let anything threaten what is already acquired and you never question your
certainties. You strive to reinforce your positions with moderation and good sense. The bases of
your relationship are solid, your friendships are lasting and your fields of interest, patiently
investigated. You may have to show more flexibility.
Mercury in House IV
Mercury is in the 4th House. You are endowed with an acute sense of relations and inter-
personal connections. However, your communication capacities are expressed in a discreet way,
in the delimited framework of your clan, your family or a social cell. You show your worth
only after a climate of confidence is established. Your inter-personal qualities work wonders
then, and your life settings (family, home, and closed friends) become the favourite area for
your personal expression.
Mercury Dominant
If Mercury is part of your natal chart's planetary dominants, in astrology, you are said to be a
Mercurian: the tradition points out the importance of communication. From idle but enriching
chatters to observation gift, such a dominant endows you with a wide range of expression.
Human beings have one thousand facets and one thousand masks they wear according to
circumstances and the fortunes of the game of life. You take the role of an observer who is avid
for novelties, discoveries, and surprises. Everything catches your attention and becomes an
opportunity for new encounters, relationships, and learning. The world amazes you, amuses you
sometimes, and stimulates your curiosity. Because the most important thing is to discover, and
because you consider that each new situation is packed with potentialities, you try to fill the
gaps in your knowledge. Although your open-mindedness may scatter your centres of interest,
it also enables you to carefully avoid sticking to only one immutable and rigid view. The
slightest sign enables you to perceive the other side of the coin, as well as the infinite
complexity of people and of situations. On the human plane, you seek the dialogue and the
information without which you know that you are not able to fully grasp the nature of your
interlocutor. This keen interest in the Unknown sharpens your inter-relational skills. All these
qualities are traditionally associated with Mercury.
Interpretation of the 8 Taurus symbolic degree
"A happy and thriving man feeds his cattle and fowls." (Janduz version)
Quiet, benevolent, and trustworthy character. The family life occupies the first place. One has a
large family composed of one's own children, or of some kind of spiritual children. One is
surrounded by loving young people who benefit from one's experience and knowledge. Success
can be achieved in all occupations related to agriculture and animal husbandry. Life goes
through easy paths and leads to a peaceful end.
Mars represents the desire for action and physical energy, sexuality, strength. For a woman,
Mars corresponds to the kind of man she's attracted to (but not especially in marriage which is
rather symbolized by the Sun, Mars is the lover, not the husband). Fire is its element, it is hot and
dry, and it rules Aries and Scorpio (along with Pluto), is in exaltation with Capricorn and is in
analogy with the muscles and the spleen.
It represents the soldiers, sportsmen, warriors, surgeons, blacksmiths... ; the age of Mars goes
from 42 to 50 years old.
Temperament : Bilious
Lilith or the Dark Moon (True Lilith here) represents the uncrossable threshold, taboos, the
individual's provocative and fascinating side, including on a sexual level. She symbolizes
violence and "untameability", the radical and deep-seated refusal to submit. The keywords for
Lilith can be sterility, sadism, perversity, castration, sadomasochism, eroticism, orgasm,
forbidden fantasies, marginality, cruelty; redemption, illumination, rebelliousness... Lilith's
opposite point is called Priapus; it is the Lunar perigee, the position where the Moon is closest to
the Earth. It symbolizes man's primitive nature, the horror hidden in our deepest self; masochism,
extreme sensuality, impulsiveness, irrationality and excess. Physically speaking, the Dark Moon
is the focal point unoccupied by the Earth: it is not a concrete body but a mathematical point.
Interpretation of the 25 Aquarius symbolic degree
"A personage surrounded by a halo of light walks towards a blindfolded man who heads for
an abyss." (Janduz version)
Confused, helpless and self-righteous character. Instead of stubbornly repeating the same
mistakes, one must seek the advice of more experienced friends who can help avoid dangerous
traps and teach the rudiments of one's job. Clear-sightedness is a must, and when one is lost,
one must remember that sitting down on the ground protects against injuries in case of fall.
Saturn represents concentration, effort, perseverance, time, the hard reality, inevitable
consequences. Earth is its element, it is cold and dry, and it rules Capricorn and Aquarius (along
with Uranus), is in exaltation in Libra and is in analogy with the bones (skeleton) and the skin.
It represents the grandparents, old people, scientists, knowledgeable men, Saturn corresponds to
old age; it goes from 70 years old until death.
Temperament : Nervous
Characterology : Non-Emotive, Active and Secondary type or Emotive, non Active and
Secondary type or sometimes Non-Emotive, non Active and Secondary type; it is a Phlegmatic, a
Sentimental or an Empathic type
Saturn in Aquarius
The planet Saturn symbolizes contraction, effort, time, limitation and concentration. Saturn
eliminates anything that is not authentic, sooner or later. It is impossible to cheat him as he
gives an irresistible desire to form a coherent whole with oneself, in responsible and wise ways.
He is the great purifier. He represents our limitations but also our truth. In your natal chart, the
house position where Saturn is posited is more important than his sign position because, like
Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, he is a slow planet. Many people born in the same period
have Saturn in the same sign. This is the reason why the sign occupied here is less meaningful
than when it is occupied by the so-called fast planets, i.e. the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus
and Mars. Therefore, some caution is to be exercised as you read what follows. Saturn in
Aquarius endows you with the capacity to deliver in collective areas, humanitarian causes or
avant-gardist projects. Your sensitivity is withdrawn but it is offset by your ability to handle
human relationships in a daring and efficient way, which allows you to achieve your goals for
the sake of a cause.
Saturn in House II
In your natal chart, Saturn is in your 2nd House. Nothing is ever granted. One may lose
tomorrow what one owns today. Riches are fleeting and illusory. You know the cost of losses.
Therefore, you never take a chance with your capital. It is better to keep your gains than to try
your luck with Lady Fortune at double or quits. And if luck changes, it might be only an ordeal,
an invitation to discover what lies beyond appearances. Why pay attention to false values, as
long as you can find the genuine ones?
Saturn Dominant
If Saturn is part of your natal chart's planetary dominants, in astrology, you are said to be a
Saturnian: you gladly leave to other people the decision to take life as it comes. As far as you
are concerned, you prefer to take advantage of your experiences in order to discover, to grow,
and to question yourself.
Interpretation of the 18 Aquarius symbolic degree
"A man rushes to rescue another man who clings to a wrecked boat sinking into the sea."
(Janduz version)
Unconventional, enterprising, and reckless character. Success can be achieved in the world of
finance and in careers involving trips and water. All projects need to be carefully selected and
prepared because a lack of organisation would put them in jeopardy, even though at the last
minute, and as by miracle, unexpected circumstances and providential assistance enable their
good completion.
