Mars is the first dominant in Nicole Laeno’s astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact: Nicole Laeno is a natural leader, and she is not afraid to take risks. She is also very passionate and determined, and she has a strong will. These qualities make her an excellent leader and a powerful force to be reckoned with.

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.

Saturn is the second dominant in Nicole Laeno’s astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

Saturn is often referred to as the “planet of karma.” This means that Saturn represents the consequences of our actions, both good and bad. Saturn also teaches us about responsibility, discipline, and hard work.

Nicole Laeno can expect that the lessons she learns from Saturn will be very important in her life. Saturn will help her to understand the consequences of her actions, and to take responsibility for her choices. Nicole Laeno can also expect to learn about the importance of discipline and hard work from Saturn.

As one of the planets historically thought to be on the outer limits of the solar system (until the “modern” planets were discovered), Saturn has always been associated with the moon, itself a peripheral heavenly body because it belongs to Earth and not to the solar system. Therefore, both Saturn and the moon are aspects of a protection principle (the moon encompasses the earth in the same way as Saturn and its rings encompasses the solar system). Like the moon, Saturn rules a security/insecurity dialectic, but where the moon’s concerns the private, intimate aspects of the individual, Saturn influences social and collective security.

Saturn can be thought of as the polar opposite of the moon (the archetype of the mother, but also of the child, and therefore related to orality). The god Saturn ate his children in order to reign and thus, represents the archetype of the mother (motherhood), the grandmother, and the sage (wisdom). The domination of Saturn thus indicates a maternal complex or, at least, an issue related either to the biological mother or to the symbolism of motherhood. This influence may result in a problem of identity and difficulties in aging which will make themselves evident in personal crises at every passage of this planet, every seven years—thus at the age of 7, at 14 or 15, and 21, 28, etc.

Depending on the psychological context in which Nicole is developing, she may overcome or overcompensate her identity complex and gradually acquire a strongly structured personality, or, conversely, remain in a state of immaturity which would probably be detrimental to her destiny.

The sun is the third dominant in Nicole Laeno’s astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

The sun being the third dominant in Nicole Laeno’s astral chart signifies that she is a confident and optimistic person. She loves being in the spotlight and is always up for a good time. Her happy-go-lucky attitude is contagious, and she is always surrounded by friends. Nicole is a natural leader and is always looking for new opportunities to shine.

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. Nicole’s personality is friendly, energetic, and creative, with high ideals and a firm determination to accomplish them. Nicole 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. Nicole is a born leader who enjoys being in the limelight and may behave somewhat theatrically or with dramatic exaggeration.

Nicole 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.

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

According to traditional astrology, this area 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, we can interpret astrology as demonstrating that the life and consciousness of an individual gravitate around two fundamental principles: the self (the Ascendant) and others (the Descendant).

In life, everything begins in us and proceeds outward, but it is reflected, experienced, and renewed by our relations with others. Indeed, once Nicole Laeno 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 Nicole Laeno 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, Nicole Laeno will seek out experiences which reveal knowledge and meaning to her and give her a better indication of her purpose in living. The difficulties Nicole Laeno are 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 Nicole Laeno 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, Nicole Laeno 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 herself 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.

The fifth house is an area of the sky which is especially important in Nicole Laeno’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.
