The moon is the first dominant in Lisa Mantler’s astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

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 an 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 an individual’s nature, the mother figure may correspond to their biological mother, a grandmother, or a woman who cared for them in infancy and childhood.

When an individual reaches adulthood, this mother-figure and all the emotions and bonds associated with them 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 they 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 their past, they may be unwilling to detach themselves from it and embark on their life as an individual in the here and now. They still identify somewhat with their inner child and may display a child’s capricious behavior, indulging in moodiness and indecision. Their passivity may make them easily influenced, their sensitivity makes them subjective, and they hesitate to open up and lay their soul bare. In their daily life, psychic activity will rule. Their imagination, memory, sensitivity, sensation, and sentiment nearly overwhelm their psyche.

Mercury is the second dominant in Lisa Mantler’s astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

Mercury is the planet of communication, and as the second dominant in Lisa’s chart, it indicates that she is a gifted communicator. Mercury also governs the mind and intellect, so Lisa is likely to be very intelligent and quick-witted. This combination of communication and intellect makes Lisa an excellent debater, and she is likely to be very successful in any field that requires mental agility and quick thinking.

According to Greek myth, Mercury (or Hermes, whose name derives etymologically from the piles of rocks which marked trails and guided travelers) was the messenger of the gods. He carried orders from Olympus to the mortals on Earth. The child of the illegitimate union of Zeus with Maia, Mercury was born “unknown to the immortal gods” and had to win his place among them by trickery, cleverness, and cunning. This is why he became the vagabond deity of travelers and wanderers.

He is the instinctive foe of the settled who see him as an outcast roaming on the outskirts of society: a pariah, a thief, and a swindler. As ruler of the sign of Gemini, the Twins, he symbolizes the brother—the alter-ego who teaches us as much as we teach him and is associated with adolescence, a period of intense intellectual discovery.

Mercury thus symbolizes lively, sparkling wit, mobility in any form, mental exchange, and interaction. As a result, a person strongly ruled by Mercury is quite likely to be clever and skillful.

If Mercury is “afflicted” in one’s chart, their intellectual velocity may sometimes become mere mental hyperactivity.

In any case, these skills are a great resource in the social realm. Lisa Mantler communicates easily and effectively, orally or in writing. Her ability to unite and transmit would be a good resource in diplomatic or commercial endeavors.

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

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 eighth house is an area of the sky which is especially important in Lisa Mantler’s theme. In the following paragraph, we shall explain the general meaning of this fact.

According to tradition, this house is associated with the sign of Scorpio, and thus the themes of death, metamorphosis, and sexuality. It is also related to birth and initiation, and, in more practical terms, inheritances, legacies, and debts. More specifically, the area is related to the idea of partnership resources. It raises such issues as the management of a collective heritage and the administration of assets acquired in association with another person, and the sharing out, psychologically and materially, of these resources in marriage and business partnerships.

As a result, three interdependent but fundamental factors inherent to initiating any mutually beneficial partnership are emphasized: trust, management, and responsibility. Obviously, a partnership devoid of trust is dangerous, if not impossible.

Only when true trust and mutual confidence are established can a cooperative activity yield profit. The next step is managing the profit (or loss) resulting from the cooperative enterprise: sharing it out equally between the partners, or re-investing it in view of making the enterprise more profitable. The responsibility of the manager (and any participant who is a co-manager) is obviously engaged, because it would be unethical for Lisa Mantler to keep any of the wealth generated by the group’s activities for her own personal benefit. Lisa Mantler must also be responsible enough not to flee in case of difficulty.

Sexuality, which is an asset or resource of the couple, can be thought of according to the same dynamic. If sexual problems arise, if they are not due to physiological problems, they are always related either to a loss of mutual confidence, to mismanagement of the physical and psychological exchange, or to an insufficient sense of duty on the part of one of the partners.

Due to the significance of this area in Lisa Mantler’s astral chart, Lisa Mantler may encounter one of these issues. It will be vital for Lisa Mantler to become truly conscious of what is at stake in her partnerships. As a result, Lisa Mantler will have to evaluate the wealth she acquires as a result of her relationships and measure the power conferred upon her by her participation in intimate, social, or professional relationships.

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