Bethany Ciotola, your astral chart’s first dominant is Pluto. This fact has the following significance:

Pluto is the planet of transformation. It rules the sign of Scorpio, the sign of death, redemption, and divine mysteries. Pluto’s energy is mysterious. Its discovery in 1932 associates it symbolically 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.

The sun is the second dominant in Bethany Ciotola’s astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

As the heart of the solar system and the gravitational center of the travels of the earth and the other planets, the sun 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. Bethany’s personality is friendly, energetic, and creative, with high ideals and a firm determination to accomplish them. She takes her own superiority and authority over others for granted, and she has a natural ability to command the attention and admiration of an audience. She is a born leader who enjoys being in the limelight and may behave somewhat theatrically or with dramatic exaggeration.

She has definite artistic leanings. The sense of her ideals is evident to her and may lead her to be somewhat self-focused. If ill-directed, her deep aspirations may lead to such faults as egotism, selfishness, or greediness for power.

Bethany Ciotola, the moon is the third dominant in your astral chart. This fact has the following significance:

As the second light of the solar system, the moon has always been associated with the sun in the minds of men. The moon and sun are the primordial cosmic couple. This satellite of the earth, which mysteriously waxes and wanes, has been compared to the eternal feminine principle, the mother hovering over your infant’s cradle. Psychologically, the moon is thus symbolic of the mother and the mother image. This figure is a primordial element in the psyche of each individual. Depending on your nature, the mother figure may correspond to your biological mother, a grandmother, or a woman who cared for you in infancy and childhood.

When Bethany Ciotola reaches adulthood, this mother-figure and all the emotions and bonds associated with her may be transferred to something else: a spouse, a companion, an institution, a church, corporation, or political movement, a cult, etc. In short, any individual or structure likely to take on the mother’s duty of caring for and nurturing the vulnerable aspects of an individual.

To be more down-to-earth, the mother figure corresponds to the habits which were learned and then definitively incorporated into the individual’s identity as Bethany Ciotola gradually became acculturated and progressed toward social independence. As a result, a strongly “lunar” personality often finds it difficult to adapt and is uncomfortable outside the secure setting of familiar routines.

Closely tied to her past, Bethany Ciotola may be unwilling to detach herself from it and embark on her life as an individual in the here and now. She still identifies somewhat with her inner child and may display a child’s capricious behavior, indulging in moodiness and indecision. Her passivity may make her easily influenced, her sensitivity makes her subjective, and she hesitates to open up and lay her soul bare. In her daily life, psychic activity will rule. Her imagination, memory, sensitivity, sensation, and sentiment nearly overwhelm her psyche.

The twelfth house is an area of the sky which is especially important in Bethany Ciotola’s theme, because it contains several planets, including the one which rules her rising sign. In the following paragraph, we shall explain the general meaning of this fact.

According to tradition, this area of the astrological chart was related to hardship, disease, hospitals, and all other areas associated with weakness and weariness. More specifically, this last area of the sky map is associated with the last sign of the zodiac, Pisces, or the Fishes. It symbolizes the epilogue of Bethany Ciotola’s various experiences. This is where the failures Bethany Ciotola encountered as she was going about her evolution may have accumulated; in certain extreme cases, they may have an impact on her health or well-being.

This sector should thus be associated with Bethany Ciotola’s need to confront her own past, assume the errors she may have made, and accept her flaws. If Bethany Ciotola hopes to improve her performance, she must confront her past, understand and analyze it. Before starting something new, it is often important to settle the unfinished business first.

If this house is especially prominent, Bethany Ciotola may have to concentrate on making sure every initiative is followed through to completion, including a constructive analysis of her experiences afterward.

Bethany Ciotola may wonder about the personal and spiritual value of her acts and thoughts. Bethany Ciotola may sometimes be haunted by the memories of her failures; at that point, she must have the courage to confront her mistakes and learn a lesson from them.

The seventh house is an area of the sky which is especially important in Bethany Ciotola’s theme. In the following paragraph, we shall explain the general meaning of this fact.

According to astrological tradition, the seventh house is related to marriage, contracts, social life, and worldly matters. It can be read for indications about a future marriage partner (the first), and business partners, your “objective allies” as well as your enemies.

Diametrically opposed to the Ascendant, the Descendant (the doorway into the seventh house) symbolizes everything that complements Bethany Ciotola or opposes her. This house thus represents the encounter with the other world, the non-ego. By extension, it embodies all the experiences which result from this encounter: interpersonal relationships, partnerships, marriage, rivalry, contracts, and conflicts, etc.

When this area is especially significant, it indicates that a great deal of Bethany Ciotola’s energy will be invested in the domain of relationships. Bonds, contracts, partnerships, and perhaps the disputes and conflicts which may arise from them will be prominent aspects of her success. However, she will evolve fastest and learn most from friendships and partnerships. Bethany Ciotola will have to learn to be objective.

Her goal will be to master the interdependency of her relationships, and go beyond a tender and dutiful reciprocity to a truly beneficial mutual exchange and sharing.

By making a distinction between love (the fifth house) and marriage (the seventh house), traditional astrology shows us the difference between the projection of narcissistic self-love (simple self-expression) and the objective encounter with the other on a truly egalitarian basis. To reach the seventh house from the fifth, it is necessary to travel through the sixth: a reorientation of personal energies.

The fourth house is an area of the sky which is especially important in Bethany Ciotola’s theme. In the following paragraph, we shall explain the general meaning of this fact.
