The sun is the source of all warmth and life. It symbolizes the absolute power kings and despots yearn for and emulate. From the dawn of humanity, it has been worshipped. It has primordial light, corresponding to knowledge and consciousness.

In 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.

Neptune is a planet of dissolution and flux. It concerns any effort to encompass the greatest variety of factors, any tendency to surround and blend all the narrow, individual points of view into a single, universal sea. You display considerable receptivity and availability, and are also deeply aware of the importance of dreaming. At certain times, you are overwhelmed by a feeling of subtle confusion related to a need for “something else.” When your well-being is disturbed in this way, you either yield to a sort of passive, apathetic dissatisfaction, or lose yourself in the search for an imaginary world.

The eleventh house is an area of the sky which is especially important in your theme, Alexandra. In the following paragraph, we shall explain the general meaning of this fact.

The eleventh house in your birth chart indicates the power and satisfaction you receive from society in return for your career activities. It symbolizes society’s expectations of you, and the way those expectations can either be used for your own benefit or be reinvested in cooperative projects. From a psychological standpoint, people with a prominent eleventh house in their birth chart may have to be careful not to become too focused on their social status and achievements, as this can lead to a sense of self-satisfaction that can be harmful in the long run. Any mistakes that are made can be used to learn and improve, so take advantage of any opportunities that arise!

The tenth house is an important area of the sky in your theme, as it contains several planets, including the one which rules your rising sign. In the following paragraph, we will explain the general meaning of this fact.

Traditionally, this part of the sky chart was related to profession, ambition, power, honors and recognition, and eminence. Metaphorically, it was also related to the father, the law, the spinal column, etc. The North Node, the gateway into the tenth house, corresponds to the vertical line connecting the zenith to the nadir. The North Node can be opposed to its partner, the South Node, the lowest point on the map of the sky. As the highest point, it symbolizes your elevation, your social position. You are sure to derive some power from your social eminence, such as money, prestige, or privilege, but you also have duties to fulfill. When this area is the site of significant activity, it does not mean that you will automatically have a high social eminence. It means that you will invest a great deal of energy in acquiring a form of social power. Because the energy is somewhat vague, you will have to become aware of the various desires, needs, and ideals which are motivating and inspiring you. As a result, you will probably become conscious of how closely your social destiny is linked to your family’s reputation. Indeed, all you can give society is what you have managed to make of yourself from the raw material you received from your background. When the tenth house is especially significant, it means that the use of power deriving from social rank is problematic for you. Your attitude toward both accomplishment and failure may be somewhat obtuse. As a result, you should always be asking yourself why you aspire to a certain career or profession, what your learning is worth, what meaning you want to give your relationship with society, what you are ready to give of yourself, and what you want from society in exchange.

Alexandra Chaves, you should pay close attention to the fifth house in your theme.
