***** Chapter 1 *****Your individuality. Your personality.Your emotional needs. Your mentality.
    To find the ideal profession, you have to know yourself first. There are activities you are suited for according to your nature, and others you are not. Your ideal occupation should favor the expression of your individuality (Sun) and your personality (Rising Sign), satisfy your emotional needs (Moon) and permit the development of your intellect (Mercury).

YOUR INDIVIDUALITY: Sun in Scorpio

    You were born under the sign of SCORPIO and your ruling planets are Mars and Pluto, which endows you with great energy and the ability to conquer everything.

    Your Sun sign is FIXED and this impels you to fulfill an organizing function, either in thought or action. Your attitude is firm, persevering, stable and decisive. You have the ability to concentrate profoundly on your projects and to stay firm in your purposes. In spite of this, you will have to cultivate a certain flexibility to avoid obstinacy and selfishness.

    Scorpio is a WATER sign which makes you receptive and intense. The success of your projects depends almost exclusively on your emotional state. You need to feel that you have control or power in the place of your work.

    You are intense, fiery, passionate and an extremist. You don't like shady, undefined or gray situations. You live each moment of your life with great intensity and your emotions are deep and lasting. Your strong intuition will permit you to perceive the result of a situation before it occurs, and that also will help you to discover when people lie to you.

    You are very noble and direct with your opinions. You are prepared to offer yourself completely to people you love and demand the same response in order to be happy. When you are deceived, you are utterly short with the offender and often it is for ever. Most of the time you won't be able to stay quiet, because your wealth of energy will cause you to be in constant action. You lose your patience very easily and your irritation could lead to dreadful explosions. Throughout your life you probably will suffer serious crises that will change your course completely, crises that occur with force and determination.

    You were born to direct, to create, to investigate, and to cure. Your fixed ideas and your perseverance makes you a leader in any area. Your missions are to protect others, to teach, to act with valor and courage, and to teach others to experience love with all its intensity. You were born to delve into the secrets of nature, to investigate profound subjects, to heal others and to regenerate your environment.

    To evolve, your spirit needs to learn to control aggressiveness, anxiety, intolerance and the tendency to be vindictive. You have to find a way to control jealousy, the tendency to manipulate and to control everything, your extreme and inflexible attitude which may cause you to lose, but not to change. You have to avoid violence, selfishness and the tendency to be destructive.

YOUR PERSONALITY: Ascendant Cancer

    Others see you as a strong, decisive and proud person. You convey great personal assurance and are the center of attraction wherever you appear. You express yourself very dramatically with a degree of exaggeration, but also show a great sense of humor and enthusiasm. You are likely to develop your creative and artistic talents in all directions and also have a great gift for seduction.

    You are congenial, happy and spontaneous, which allows you to communicate and socialize with ease. In spite of this, you are very selective in the company you keep. You have authority and the ability to direct others. If you have a weaker Sun sign, this ascendant will be very fortunate for you. Otherwise it will increase your inflexibility, obstinacy and restlessness.

    The profession you choose will have to permit you to be the boss, to have the power to make your own decisions, to do your job without pressure or control, and it definitely has to bring you in touch with the public; avoid subordinate positions or jobs where you would be unable to show your creativity.

YOUR EMOTIONAL NEEDS: Moon in Aries

    Your emotions are intense, fiery and at the same time quickly changing. You are very enthusiastic about everything that has to do with adventure, risk, challenge, novelty and where you could display your courage, vitality and strength. You are not very affectionate and you are not one to hide your feelings. When you love someone, you have no limits. You like to protect and offer yourself wholeheartedly without requesting anything in return, but in the end wait for recognition of your efforts. Your personal pride is very strong and you react to every little thing, but you never hold a grudge toward anyone. Once past the initial irritation, you easily forget what has happened. You are very independent and need action in your life. You pay little attention to details and disregard any advice.

    Subconsciously, you have a strong survival instinct and feel that any disagreement or opposition is a threat to your goals, which leads you to act aggressively. In previous lives you may have had to act quickly or perform strenuous activities that required great physical effort on your part. You may have been involved in martial arts or sports and because of this, you have not developed diplomacy, tact, or patience to express your emotions, and those are the qualities you will have to incorporate in this incarnation. You also have to learn to work with equipment, and with other people and to overcome selfishness.

    The profession you choose will have to satisfy your emotional need to have power, to be independent, a leader and a pioneer. It will have to give you the possibility of showing your values and strong will.

YOUR MENTALITY: Mercury in Libra

    You have a balanced and harmonious mind and try to express your ideas in a proper and delicate way. Because of your deep sense of justice, you are not quick to make decisions. You analyze both sides of any situation in order to avoid any mistakes or unfairness. Your indecision, on even trivial things, tends to bother you a lot and also will bother the people around you. You are very moderate in everything you do and rarely will go for an extreme situation.

    Your way of communicating is soft, refined and friendly. Your voice has a soft, warm tone and you refrain from using coarse and offensive language. You get angry when arguments, violence or aggressiveness occur. If you are put in a hostile situation, you will try to escape or will hide within yourself. You have a strong sense of aesthetics which will be shown in your artistic abilities. You are very sociable and could excel in public relations, diplomacy, law or as a counselor or umpire. You have a complacent attitude toward others and most likely will postpone many of your projects, if they create a lack of harmony. You could be a bit lazy or inconstant with your studies and need some support from others to successfully achieve your educational goals.

***** Chapter 2 *****Your abilities and your emotions, inhibitions and strengths.Hidden talents or challenges, Karma.
    The location of the planets in the houses and the relationship between them can increase or decrease their power. Aspects of the Sun are related to our strength and those of the Moon affect the emotional world and are expressed on a subconscious level.

     Aspects that affect your INDIVIDUALITY:

Sun in 4th house:

    Success in your life could be related to real estate, or if you are devoted to some type of humanitarianism, this influence would make you a natural psychologist.

    This position of the Sun favors the later years of your life, realizing a full life with great accomplishments. You feel very proud of yourself and what you have achieved throughout your existence. During your life you probably will receive much recognition for your work and may receive certain rewards or honors.

Sun Conjunct Neptune:

    Very inspirational, you could do well in music, poetry, art or the hidden sciences. Your intuition will allow you to accurately predict many events; you will have to learn to rely on your instinct and first impressions. Because of your great sensitivity, at times you could become fearful and obsessive for no apparent reason. Also, when dealing with conflicts, you have a tendency to escapism. You will have to develop more confidence in yourself and try to see situations objectively to eliminate thoughts that frighten you.

Sun Square Uranus:

    You are anarchic and tend to make your own laws and rules, making it difficult for others to understand you. Very anxious, nervous and impatient, you don't like to be kept waiting. You attract much attention everywhere, but this doesn't concern you. Your powerful dynamic personal magnetism always comes through when you to speak to others.

    You also are very creative and original, but not very practical and many of the ideas you have probably won't materialize. You have to learn to be more patient and persevering, and to direct your energies better to successfully achieve your goals. You also will have to learn to be more flexible, to avoid erratic unpredictable behavior and to understand that everything cannot always go your way.

     Aspects that affect your EMOTIONS:

Moon in 10th house:

    You need to work with the public in some way and are likely to obtain great recognition for your labor, although you also could be subject to criticism or scandal. You could be successful in projects relating to nutrition, home services or in fields relating to women. Throughout your life you probably will experience several career changes. Your feelings are dominated by your ambitions and you have to learn to control your mood changes to avoid making the wrong decisions.

Moon Opposition Mars:

    You are prepared to undertake risky tasks or those that require great physical effort. Your strong will and natural aggressiveness allows you to be in control of every situation. Your profession definitely will have to be dynamic and imply some kind of challenge.

    You can be brutally honest, especially when dealing with women. You may easily lose your patience with regard to feminine attitudes and are likely to act very roughly. This astrological aspect can generate rivalries and dislike for women.

Moon Trine Uranus:

    You have a modern and futuristic vision of life and because of this, you act freely and dismiss the old taboos or traditions that would limit you. Very innovative, you will project your individual style. You are very intuitive and can clearly perceive the feelings of others or the possible success of an enterprise. You also are attracted to the hidden sciences and could become a very good astrologer.

HIDDEN TALENTS: Gemini on 12th house cusp

    You have a tendency to completely neglect your intellectual capacity. If you have abandoned your studies, you will have to make the necessary effort to get back to them. If you have ended a career, you will have to strive for continued intellectual growth. You have to appreciate your ideas, your wit and your ability to conceive original and novel projects. You tend to be very shy and feel unable to take your place in the world. You will have to improve your way of communicating, learning to say without fear what you think and want. You have the tendency to think too much about the steps you have to take and thus end up not taking any.

    This influence could bring problems with brothers or sisters (if you have them), neighbors or other relations. If you were to lend someone money, it may be difficult to get it back.

***** Chapter 3 *****Expansion (Jupiter) and retraction (Saturn).To give and to receive.
EXPANSION: Jupiter in Leo

    Your sense of expansion manifests through your creativity. Your success will depend on the faith you have in your own ideas. You are very friendly and good humored and always attract the attention of others. You are prone to exaggerate and tend to be materialistic. You always keep the idea of abundance in your mind. You also have a strong sense of justice and a tendency to dominate. Thanks to your friendliness, you will easily be able to impose your ideas and accomplish your goals.

Jupiter in 2nd house:

    You tend to be very successful in the business world and are likely to earn a lot of money throughout your life. However, you will have to learn to discipline yourself, as you have a tendency to be a spendthrift and could suffer financial losses because of your careless attitude toward money. Your material expansion could come through investments, import-export, travel and sales. You are inclined to have many possessions, because they will mean your safety and protection, and at the same time, you will be very generous and sharing with your loved ones.

Jupiter Conjunct Pluto:

    You are dedicated to your ideals and goals and will be able to reach positions of leadership throughout your life. Your emotions and expressions are intense and somewhat exaggerated. Your great honesty and aggressiveness could bring about a certain degree of animosity. You will have to learn to moderate and to direct your strong creative dynamic force positively.

Jupiter Sextile Neptune:

    You are strongly spiritual and religious, and you like to help others. You are very intuitive and strongly attracted to the mystical and metaphysics. You would do well in careers involving education, social work or artistic creativity. You are very noble and always work toward your spiritual evolution.

RETRACTION: Saturn in Scorpio

    The inhibition principle affects your libido and the expression of your strength. You have tremendous willpower, energy and face life with intensity. You have a magnetic personality, and you demand much of yourself and others, though your approach will be subtle, persistent and determined. You make an effort to contain or repress your energies; you don't easily show the intensity of your feelings and give the impression of being in control, but this is not good. You will have to learn to release your inner pressures without fear and to freely show your preferences. You probably are not sure of exhibiting your emotions.

Saturn in 5th house:

    You tend to be cold, not very demonstrative, and inhibited. You are attracted to older people rather than those of your age. In spite of your shyness, you have very deep and loyal feelings. Your creativity could lean toward sciences and inventions. Your principal frustration will be not having the time or necessary ability to develop creative and artistic activities or entertainment. You will have to learn to enjoy pleasures more freely and to express your emotions and talents with all the intensity you have within you. Don't judge the results, simply enjoy what you are doing.

Saturn Conjunct Venus:

    You are serious and may find it difficult to express your feelings. You tend to have a fear of poverty and an inner austerity or lack of ideas. You have to increase your sense of enjoyment and learn that working with love, with something you really like, will bring much more success. You are very good at mathematics and finances. You are a hard worker and are protective of the dignity of the family. You will have to learn to be more spontaneous and demonstrative to secure your romantic as well as monetary future.

    Success in life depends to a great extent on the balance between giving and receiving, expanding and retracting. Even dwelling on the one and only failure you may have had is like not attempting anything.

***** Chapter 4 *****Finances, source of income.Work in relation to your employment.
    Described below are some possible sources of income. They may coincide, or not relate at all to your professional vocation.

FINANCES: Leo on 2nd house cusp

    Throughout your life you will be able to reach important positions that will allow you to have a good income. You may occupy an important or higher position in some institution or outstanding company. On the other hand, you are likely to have very large expenses, because you like to live well and enjoy luxuries.

    There also is a possibility of earning money in speculative businesses, risky investments, games of chance and bets as well as fields related to education, children, arts or entertainment.

Jupiter in 2nd house:

    You tend to be very successful in business and are likely to earn a lot of money throughout your life. However, you will have to learn to discipline yourself, as you have a tendency to be a spendthrift and could suffer financial losses because of your careless attitude toward money. You could do well in investments, import-export, travel and sales, or in professions related to the administration of justice, government, education, literature, philosophy or religion. You are inclined to have many possessions because they will mean your safety and protection, and at the same time you will be very generous and sharing with your loved ones.

Pluto in 2nd house:

    You may have several different sources of income and are able to accumulate wealth thanks to your ability to handle finances. Because you have a desire to acquire material things, you must guard against treating your loved ones as possessions, which could lead you to dominate them and to be excessively jealous. You will have to learn to moderate your ambitions and not to become avaricious, otherwise you may suffer great financial reverses that could disturb your emotional life. You could excel in positions of authority, politics, activities that require physical effort, or in those related to atomic energy, investigation or radiobiology.

Ruler of 2nd house in 4th house:

    Your income is related to your home, the city where you reside, and also to real estate in general. You may work out of your home or in professions such as interior decorator, gardener, farmer or real estate ventures.
