The sun is the center of the solar system and the gravitational center of the travels of the earth and the other planets. It is the primordial light, the source of all warmth and life. From the dawn of humanity, it has been worshipped. It has symbolized the absolute power kings and despots yearn for and emulate. The sun king, the nucleus of society, embodied a principle of cohesion and harmony. Various subordinates—aka planets—revolved around it. In terms of psychological symbolism, the sun corresponds to the center of an individual, the factor that rules your psyche. Its luminous aspects are usually associated with knowledge and consciousness. As a creator of life, it is related to the image of the mother and the influence of motherhood on an individual’s consciousness and ideals. As a result, the sun’s position in a birth chart always indicates the way in which an individual will relate to your goals and ideals, what your ambitions and aspirations might involve. A person whose chart is strongly “solar” usually identifies very positively with motherhood. Your personality is friendly, energetic, and creative, with high ideals and a firm determination to accomplish them. You take your own superiority and authority over others for granted, and you have a natural ability to command the attention and admiration of an audience. You are a born leader who enjoys being in the limelight and may behave somewhat theatrically or with dramatic exaggeration. You have definite artistic leanings. The sense of your ideals is evident to you and may lead you to be somewhat self-focused. If ill-directed, your deep aspirations may lead to such faults as egotism, selfishness, or greediness for power.

Pluto governs the sign of Scorpio, the sign of death, redemption, and divine mysteries. Pluto’s energy is mysterious, and it is associated with the creation of the nuclear bomb and the development of psychoanalysis. In ancient mythology, Pluto was considered to be associated with all the aspects of the underworld – Hades, the Greek name for Pluto, was the god of shell. Today, the underworld is synonymous with the Mafia, and the two share many characteristics. Pluto occupies an important place in the horoscopes of great mystics and spiritual beings, as well as in the theme of certain dictators and tyrants, among them the most ruthless and greedy for power. In psychological terms, Pluto corresponds to the transmutation of instinctive energies into energies which are accessible consciously by the individual’s ego. This transmutation, which is never completely controllable, induces a power complex. On the social level, it might be symbolized by the nuclear disaster, the failure of Western man to master the energy of the atom – a power complex gone awry. On the individual level, Pluto is expressed either in a “power complex,” in which instinctive energy is completely transmuted into a personal resource, or as a “failure complex,” in which certain inhibitions prevent the instinctive energy from being transmuted.

In traditional astrology, Venus (or Aphrodite, her Greek name) is the planet of love. A source of universal attraction, this planet corresponds to the original urge which bonds two human beings together in love. Venus is thus both the magnetism which brings human beings together (not lust, which is symbolized by Mars, but the object which attracts lust) and the gift of love. This ambiguity is interpreted astrologically by the fact that Venus rules two houses of the zodiac. In Taurus, Venus symbolizes the awakening to bodily lust, and in Libra, the bond of marriage. As a result, Venus may take on very different aspects depending on the individual’s degree of awareness. Likewise, this ambiguity explains Aphrodite’s equivocal conduct in Greek myth and her innumerable couplings and motherhood. Depending on the legend, she may embody brutal, passionate love (with Anteros), the wisdom of the heart which rescues from passion (Harmonia); she also becomes tenderness and purity (with Adonis), pure sexuality (with Eros), a transforming energy (with Vulcan), etc. Mistress of the Arts, she represents beauty, understanding, and peace. Psychologically, individuals under the influence of Venus are struggling with their love instincts. This is why you cannot conceive of living without a personal emotional relationship to someone else and sometimes fears solitude and the encounter with yourself. You are extremely attractive to others and are a creator and artistic genius who seems to imbue all you touch with beauty and harmony. Your artistic skills are obvious to the people around you and may be applied to career endeavors. Pleasure, outings, seduction, love, and a thriving but sometimes superficial social life are the hallmarks of your life.

Aimee Carrero looks up at the ninth house in the sky and sees that it is filled with planets, including the one which rules her sign. She understands that this is significant because it means that she will be able to use the planets in this area to her advantage.

Aimee Carrero is ruled by Sagittarius, the ninth sign of the zodiac. Its chief attributes are moral and political judgment (laws, ethics, and politics as a means of improving society), dreams, distant journeys, studies such as religion, philosophy, priesthood, spiritual guidance, and wisdom. More specifically, this area of her astrological chart demonstrates that her life and consciousness gravitate around two fundamental principles: the self (the Ascendant) and others (the Descendant). In life, everything begins in her and proceeds outward, but it is reflected, experienced, and renewed by her relations with others. Indeed, once she grows beyond the subjective field of her ego and reaches adulthood, she must be able to adapt and modify her abilities in such a way as to fulfill a specific function in the outer world. The reference framework she uses to judge her worth is not only her personal life, but the huge complex of values, principles, and laws which regulate life in a community. The ninth house rules this much broader framework, which includes law as well as philosophy, psychology, science, religion, mysticism, occult studies, etc. An individual with a great deal of activity in this area of their astrological chart will probably feel a strong desire for personal expansion. An idealist, she will seek out experiences which reveal knowledge and meaning to her and give her a better indication of her purpose in living. The difficulties she is likely to face will be hidden behind what appears to be success. They may arise from her expansiveness, which is sometimes uncontrollable, or disproportionate. Although at the outset, her ambition and desire for personal development are a source of strength, they later become powerful enough to cut her off from herself. If she identifies too strongly with the flattering self-image reflected by the community, she may gradually begin to neglect her personal essence. Because this perverse tendency to confuse form with function is reinforced by modern society’s emphasis on packaging and advertising, she is liable to lose herself completely. A state of expansion could be expressed as a psychic inflation (a loss of oneself in an abstract ideal, or a delusion of grandeur) or as a partial loss of oneself due to over identification with her personal mask (or persona). This house thus reveals that nothing is more difficult than failure in a period of success. Ambition, which may be a compensatory personal over evaluation, sometimes transforms understanding, a principle of cohesion and love, into personal power.

Aimee Carrero observes the sixth house in the sky and finds its general meaning to be important for her theme.

According to tradition, the sixth house is related to health and your relationship to your body. It governs experiences related to work, duty, health care, self-transformation, and the continuous harvesting and re-planting of your energies and ego. More specifically, this area may show signs of illness, hygiene, nutrition, and bodily care. It is thus related to the need faced by any individual to examine their ego, in order to consciously reorient and transform the behavior they have unconsciously adopted. If you refuse this reorientation process or try to flee from it, physical discomfort or suffering may set in. The difficulty you face concerns your personal growth as a member of society. It shows that you are not yet ready to approach others appropriately. You must tone down an inflated ego or beef up an insecure, weak ego. The importance of this area in your theme indicates that experiences related to work, duty, health care, self-transformation, and the continuous harvesting and re-planting of your energies and ego are fundamental and may have a major impact on your destiny.

The third house is an area of the sky which is especially important to Aimee Carrero. In the following paragraph, we shall explain the general meaning of this fact.
