Funny Mike’s astral chart is governed by Neptune. This planet is associated with creativity, imagination, and daydreaming. Neptune is also known as the planet of illusion and deception. As the first dominant in Funny Mike’s chart, Neptune represents his highest aspirations and his potential for greatness. Neptune’s influence gives Funny Mike the ability to see beyond the veil of reality and to tap into his own divine creativity.

This planet is the quintessential symbol of individual receptivity and the fundamental reactions of the unconscious, including the collective unconscious. Opposed to Saturn, which is the principle of form, structure, and limitation, Neptune is a principle of dissolution. 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.

Psychologically, the Neptunian effect is expressed as an exceptional psychic flexibility and extreme pliancy. Funny Mike thus displays considerable receptivity and availability. Funny Mike feels a need for unity, a need to be related. Funny Mike is also deeply aware of the importance of dreaming, and, negatively, may be prone to delusions.

At certain times, Funny Mike is overwhelmed by a feeling of subtle confusion related to a need for “something else.” When Funny Mike’s well-being is disturbed this way, Funny Mike either yields to a sort of passive, apathetic dissatisfaction, or loses Funny Mike in the search for an imaginary world, perhaps to escape or plunge into bliss.

Funny Mike is sometimes captivated by a need for illusion; Funny Mike would like to experience change through the intermediary of events which are vaster than consciousness and would take Funny Mike far from routine and daily banality. Nevertheless, usually these fantastic dreams only make Funny Mike all the more painfully aware of the realities of everyday life. Funny Mike’s spirit and emotions emerge confused, and Funny Mike’s will is sometimes weakened.

Jupiter is the second dominant in Funny Mike’s astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system, and its position in Funny Mike’s astral chart indicates that it is a very important planet in his life. Jupiter represents expansion, abundance, good fortune, and luck, so it is no surprise that this planet is very influential in Funny Mike’s life.

In traditional astrology, Jupiter has always been considered as the Great Benefactor, the planet of luck and success such as personal fortune, social prominence, professional prestige, high political position. The Jupiterian bounty is peerless! In psychological terms, this planet has a much vaster significance. As the biggest planet in the solar system, it does preside over the process of personal expansion, interpreted to be fitting into society better and finding an appropriate match between one’s individual ambitions and the aspirations of the group.

This growth is accompanied by a feeling of self-confidence, which, in turn, buoys up an even greater externalization and expansion of the ego – hence the planet’s flattering reputation. But this snowball effect (Jupiter smiles and the world smiles with you), in which social skills magnify confidence and boldness reaps many rewards, betrays the negative side of Jupiter: extreme and excess.

Although grandeur was the characteristic of the “king of the gods,” errors of judgment, poor taste, and sometimes selfishness and pride are also likely to be part of the Jupiterian package. It is important to note that the extension of the ego may be a form of escape; it is tempting to hide behind one’s popularity and social success, which are fairly easy to obtain, rather than be really demanding with oneself. The Jupiterian has a tendency to amplify qualities out of compensation, to avoid seeing weaknesses and flaws. As a result, Funny Mike must be aware of the risk of over-identifying with his social mask, which would cause him to neglect his inner self and deep nature.

Mars is the third dominant in Funny Mike’s astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

Mars is the planet of energy, action, and desire. As the third dominant in Funny Mike’s chart, it indicates that he has a lot of drive and enthusiasm. He is always ready to take on new challenges, and he is not afraid to go after what he wants. This can sometimes lead to impulsive behavior, but it also means that Funny Mike is a go-getter who is always moving forward.

In the Greek tradition, Mars or Aries was the god of war. Traditional astrology associates him with the element fire, the color red, and the taste of bitterness. Although it also symbolizes the elder brother in the cosmic family, it is more likely to be associated with declared enemies or adversaries. Martian morphology is typically virile, angular, and athletic and corresponds to aggressive, domineering, masculine behavior. Likewise, Mars is usually associated with rage, its resultant brutality, and male destructiveness and domination.

Psychologically, Mars figures in any situation of conflict, opposition, and confrontation. Martian symbolism intervenes to separate, oppose, and decide and corresponds to duels, war, and any situation in real life which involves confronting an obstacle. Individuals who are greatly influenced by Mars are typically direct and straightforward—either unabashedly extroverted or furiously introverted. They are extremely active and extremely emotive. Their purpose in life seems to be inextricably mingled with a combat against an unacceptable situation, a challenge which they either issue or are forced to accept.

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

According to tradition, the sixth house is related to health and Funny Mike’s relationship to his body. It is thus related to illness, hygiene, nutrition, and bodily care. More specifically, this area rules the various failures which Funny Mike encounters and accumulates in the course of his evolution, which are sometimes expressed as physical disorders like aches and pains, digestive problems, etc.

This area should thus be associated with the need faced by any individual to examine their ego, in order to consciously reorient and transform the behavior they have unconsciously adopted. Should Funny Mike refuse this reorientation process or try to flee from it, physical discomfort or suffering may set in as a sort of signal – the proof that the impurities of his ego are obstructing the natural flow of his life.

The difficulty Funny Mike faces concerns his personal growth as a member of society. It shows that he is not yet ready to approach others appropriately, that he must tone down an inflated ego or beef up an insecure, weak ego. The importance of this area in his theme indicates that experiences related to work, duty, health care, self-transformation, and the continuous harvesting and re-planting of his energies and ego are fundamental and may have a major impact on his destiny.

Traditionally, astrologers associated this house with humbly serving others. We interpret this to mean that a person who has not consciously begun the work of reorienting their personality may be doomed to remain the slave of thankless tasks, to toil at subordinate functions deprived of privilege.

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