Astrology Report Based on Your Birth!
Below is some sample text from a number of the chapters
of an Astro*Talk Profile, created from Diane Keaton’s birth data. These
excerpts show the writing style of the author, Michael Erlewine. The printed
reports are nicely formatted and output on 8 1/5" x 11" paper on a laser
printer, and are sent in an attractive, heavy-stock "Profile" cover.
This sample text begins with the planets in Diane Keaton's chart. Each
planet is introduced with a basic description of that planet followed by
its specific aspects in Diane's chart. Here are excerpts taken from some of
the Astro*Talk chapters:

Planet Aspects
|
|
|
The Lights: The
Sun and Moon
At the time of our birth, the planets (through their
configurations and relationships) tell us something about how things were
when we were born. Each planet points to special qualities within us.
Yet, of all the planets, the two most important planets to astrologers
are the "lights," the Sun and the Moon. From where we stand here on Earth,
the great shining Sun by day and the reflecting Moon at night are our constant
companions. They have much to tell us as to where we have been and where
we are headed.

The Sun: Your Self
and Future
From the Sun comes light, that which draws us into
life. The Sun represents all the changes we have not yet taken, that part
of us that we have not yet experienced but are headed toward. The Sun
represents our identity, or self, in that it is toward these that we are
moving and developing. Thus, it also represents that which we will become:
older people, authorities -- those we look toward, or up to. Our essence,
or future. Teachers, gurus, and older (more experienced) people are represented
by the Sun. The Sun is "hot stuff" -- those further up the road of life
experience.

Sun in Capricorn
You have clear vision and can see what to do. Happy
when in control, you enjoy managing anything practical. Not too emotional,
you are objective, businesslike, and reliable -- disciplined. To you, life
is a serious business and you are a great provider, always far-sighted.
You are social, or public-oriented. Practical.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sun Conjunct Venus
You have a basic self-esteem that is plain to all
who meet you. Your sense of discrimination and innate good taste means
that you know good items from bad and are a connoisseur of all that is fine
and beautiful. A love of authority figures (men in particular), plus an
appreciation for authority and your elders in general, makes you welcome
at any social scene.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sun Opposite Saturn
Your innate sense of responsibility, or the actual
duties that come your way, may prevent you from fulfilling your real ambitions.
Those in authority, or those older and more experienced, may challenge
or oppose you and thus hold you back. Whatever the reason, your goals probably
lack the organization and careful planning they need. Your personal self-discipline,
or lack thereof, may amount to a liability, thus working against you.

Planets in Signs: Internal Planets

Mercury: The Mind
and Communication
Mercury is the light in our eyes, the ever-changing
consciousness within us that moves from idea to idea. Thus Mercury has always
represented thoughts, ideas, and the mental process in general. It governs
not only ideas, but communications, too. Communications -- by phone, letter,
spoken, or however -- are ruled by Mercury. Also thoughts, connections,
phone wires, and everything that connects and conveys -- even conversations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mercury in Sagittarius
You are fair-minded and above-board, always direct
and honest in thought. You are more interested in eternal thoughts and
broad landscapes than in minute details. You always manage to get the picture
right away. Farsighted, you have a wandering mind that loves to travel
and are at home with the bare bones of truth.

The
External Planets: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn
The major planets outside the Earth's orbit (external
to us) are Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. These are the planets of the outer
world -- life as we find it outside ourselves. Mars tells us something
about the drive and energy we have, Jupiter shows us how to best channel
that energy, and Saturn decrees what sort of material or territory we will
be passing through. Again: Saturn tells us about the territory we will be
going through, Jupiter the way or path through it, and Mars what kind of
push or drive we can count on to keep going.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mars: Drive and
Emotions
Mars is the planet of emotion and inner motivation
or drive. When we search for the meaning of something, life or whatever,
it is Mars that urges us on, keeps us searching. Mars also drives us against
things, too and sends us into war and combat. The urgency of Mars, the
search for meaning, is identical to the need for union, yoga, and marriage.
Mars is the planet of union, and marriage is the most common form of yoga.
When we have questions about the opposite sex, we are looking at the planet
Mars.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mars in Cancer
You have a real security drive and a need to care
and protect others -- mother hen. Very sensitive to the slightest emotional
change, you have all the artistic traits and talents. If threatened, you
can be very defensive, and you hate competition. You love family, children,
and animals. You have common sense.

Landscape: Major Life Periods
|
|
What follows amounts
to a brief overview of the first thirty years or so of your life -- a road
map of the years to come. Since childhood, adolescence, and early adult
life are so crucial to each of us, an attempt has been made to describe
these formative years. Based on the gradual movement of the planet Saturn,
this is one of the most tested of all astrological techniques. It is used
by almost every professional astrologer as part of any personal consultation.
Provided that your time of birth is more or less accurate, you will find
this information both accurate and informative. Here is a general life
overview, followed by a close-up on your current changes -- what is happening
right now. First the overview:
Your Personal Background
A fairly easy childhood up until around the 11-12th
year, at which time you will begin to become more subjective and inner-directed.
This could mean that your adolescence is somewhat more lonely and less
socially oriented than the average. This inner time of exploration lasts
until you are about 18-19 years of age. At that time, you will proceed
to take hold, discover yourself, and become more outward -- in a rather
short time. Your sense of confidence will take hold and build, and the
years of introspection will pay off as you begin to reach out. The years
from 18 through 25 or 26 will be ones of hard work and continued gains in
self-confidence. From the 26th year, your real climb to fame and fortune
will commence. Your 30s and 40s will be very good and successful years.
Your Burn Rate
You have a high burn rate (index of change) and tend
to run hot and fast. It is almost like having many lifetimes within this
single one. Things are always fast and furious with you, and you seldom
remain calm for long. Your thirst for experience and growth keeps you always
on the move. You work through an enormous amount of change compared to
an average person. In particular, the following qualities are areas where
you have experienced and will continue to experience much change. These
areas of life persist in presenting themselves to you, so you may already
have become very experienced in them. On the other hand, they could be
arenas in which you struggle but have not yet attained mastery.
A majority of planets in the FUTURE suggests that you tend to run ahead
of the pack, taking changes and acting things out before they become accepted
and a part of the status quo. Things happen to you that you come to understand
over time. |

Major Transits Happening Now
|
|
Astrologers use the term "transits" to mean the positions
of the major planets that are overhead (in the sky) right now and their
relationship to our birth chart.
Transits are very important indicators of the current situation in which
we find ourselves. They can provide insight into what we are now going
through. Here are the dates when the next major transits for the planets
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are exact in your chart. Some
dates will have already passed and some are still to come.
Remember, with these large planets transits don't just happen on the
day when they are exact. They cover a wide span of days, weeks, months,
and sometimes years, depending on which planet is involved. In general, transits
of Jupiter take from several days to a week or two to complete, while those
of Saturn take from two weeks to a month to play themselves out. With the
outer planets, the period of activity is even longer: transits of Uranus
take about two months, Neptune three or four months, and Pluto takes about
a year. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto move so slowly that the complete transit
experience may take a year or two to complete itself. So be prepared to
work with these situations:
SEP 24, 1999 1st Pass D> (Age 46 8m):
Jupiter Sextile Mars
Things are happening, and your career, or path depends
upon your own ambition and drive, which are strong now. Able to use good
common horse-sense, you can feel trends and make the right moves. A time
to get ahead by taking action.
NOV 15, 1999 1st Pass D> (Age 46 10m)
APR 22, 2000 2nd Pass R< (Age 47 3m)
JUL 11, 2000 3rd Pass D> (Age 47 6m):
Jupiter Trine Moon
Your home environment, friends, and surroundings
ingeneral get facilitated and receive encouragement. Your work or career
is in real harmony with the rest of your life. You could gain from subordinates
or younger people during this time. |

Planets in High Focus
|
|
Venus
Your sense of appreciation and discrimination amounts
to a very great talent, a real gift. You have a loving and compassionate
quality that requires very little education or development. This is a
precious commodity. Low burn rate here.
Jupiter
Questions of attitude, approaches to problem-solving,
and the methods for handling authorities and the law are in high focus
and are indicated by a high burn rate regarding your career and making
your way through life. Perhaps you will have many jobs or be forever going
through changes and adjustments that affect your career. It could be difficult
finding lasting success or prosperity, and the path to it may be areas
where you have real experience and particular expertise.
Neptune
You have a high rate of change when it comes to what
you believe in -- your ideals and dreams. You adjust and change your ideals
often and struggle not to get carried away with each new vision. The world
of your imagination is a major focus of change.
