When your final dispositor is the:

Sun
Being in the sunshine lifts your spirits up immensely. If the climate where you live is not particularly sunny, you may need to take Vitamin D, use full spectrum light bulbs throughout your home and paint at least one wall in a bright, cheerful color.

Make it a point to develop a practice which helps you expand your personal energy vibration. You feel more confident and optimistic when you're centered in your personal power. Shining out your light and positive attitude uplifts everyone around you. You're a beacon for others.

Moon
Your sensitive nature is affected by the ebb and flow of life and its many demands. You do much better when you have control over your environment and have the freedom to manage your own time and move through life at your own pace.

Establishing solid emotional boundaries between yourself and others, (including family members) is crucial so that you don't absorb others emotional crisis and become entrenched in the dramas of life. Letting go of your personal "story" is so important because of a tendency to live in the past and/or take on the role of the 'victim'. Your home environment means everything to you.

Mercury
You have an innate curiosity about many things in life and love the process of learning. You
enjoy variety, are adaptable, creative and versatile. You do well in all fields associated with communication. You are a good student and a good teacher.

You have a flair for writing and/or public speaking. You have the capacity and the intelligence to understand whatever you put your mind to.

A lifetime student, you enjoy the process of discovery and are quick to acquire a hands-on working knowledge of that which you are studying. Your mental energy and endless curiosity can take you in many directions simultaneously so that others have a hard time keeping up with you. It's like the teenager in any home. Just when you think you know what interests them and who they're hanging out with, it all changes in the blink of an eye and you're way out of touch with the latest rendition!

Venus
Being involved in a creative process really fuels your imagination and sense of beauty. You must have beauty in your life! Venus is teaching you how to embrace and savor those things which bring you pleasure and an air of the romantic. A great character that just came to mind to explain how to live life in full Venusian style is Catherine, played by the English actor, Lindsay Duncan in the movie, 'Under the Tuscan Sun'. Do you remember her elaborate wardrobe and how she savored each and every experience with great delicacy and deliberation. She made eating an ice cream an art!

Participating in social activity and cultivating relationships are important to you. You seek balance, harmony, refinement and cooperation in all relationships and do your best to meet others half way. Loving yourself, and knowing that you can attract beauty into your life is where it's at.

Mars
You like to be active and on the go so a sedentary lifestyle isn't for you. If you're working in an office environment, it's imperative to get your body moving with a workout at the gym, playing a competitive sport or going for a run on a regular basis.

If you're a woman, you’re independent and learning how to gather and express your inner warrior energy and achieve your goals. This placement helps you stay abreast of a busy lifestyle, do what is necessary for those who rely on you, but make time for yourself to do your own thing. Often, you enjoy relationships with men rather than women. Men seem less complicated.

If you're a man, you move through life aggressively and like to get your own way. You work hard, and push yourself hard. You are utilizing the highest path of Mars energy when you cultivate self control, self-discipline and ultimately self-mastery. This is easier to accomplish if your Mars is in a fixed sign (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius). You know how to access your will and direct it toward achieving your goals. You can be very one-pointed and carry fierce determination. You have much courage and conviction.

You have the gift to inspire and encourage others and help them believe in themselves. This is why we see many professional athletes take on public roles of this nature. You are self-reliant and self-confident. Being on a 'quest' and feeling passionate about your life means everything to you.

Jupiter
You like to view life's possibilities through a kaleidoscope. Small thinking and taking small, cautious steps is not your style. You like to be aligned with the bigger picture for you have a generous, philosophical disposition and are a true optimist. For the most part, you are gregarious and self-confident.

Unless Saturn occupies a strong position in your birth chart, you may live beyond your means for economy is not a part of your larger than life vision of what is important. You are generous to a fault and always seek to express a positive attitude. You may make promises you cannot always keep for consistency is not always your strongest ally but you always mean well and never deliberately deceive anyone. However, you do have the gift of the gab and others will seek to follow your lead. You are a great story teller.

When you're in the role of teacher, coach, or mentor, you're at your best. You inspire and uplift others and believe in them. They can always count on your full support and generosity.

Saturn
You are attracted to those things in life which offer a guarantee of security, stability and continuity. For the most part, you are willing to play the game of life according to the rules, for you like structure and respect tradition. You are hard working, productive, and prefer to stay with something over the long haul, building and developing upon the foundation which has been established.

While you feel the weight of responsibility, you enjoy being in a position of authority and experience satisfaction as you achieve your goals. You are capable of exercising economy and self-restraint in order to achieve goals and in order to achieve self-mastery. You have high standards, can be exacting, and hard on yourself. It's good to know when you've done enough so that you don't push yourself beyond what is necessary.

You are learning how to parent yourself which also means cultivating self-acceptance, self-appreciation and self-love. In fact it's a great idea to reward yourself often for all of the hard work and self effort you put forth by doing something which feels like play.

Uranus
You may be the black sheep of your family for you march to a different drummer. You question authority and seek alternative paths to discover the Truth, while establishing a sense of freedom and independence along the way. You place a high value on friendship and will often have quite an eclectic circle of friends. You find it very challenging to compromise your personal beliefs but strive to meet others half way. You are learning tolerance and acceptance of others and their beliefs.

Accordingly, within your nature and interests, there are many ways in which you can experience the energies of Uranus, but at some point, you are likely to seek the experience of Universality through aligning with like minded others in a group environment, where you can truly be yourself but enjoy the experience of group activity working, with everyone working toward a common cause.

You are open minded, have strong beliefs concerning fairness and equality and will often take a stand against injustice. You are emotionally detached and favor partnership with individuals who are independent, self-reliant and offer you a great deal of freedom.

While you may establish yourself within the 'traditional' sector of the community as well as within the 'holistic' communities, you rarely look to the status quo for validation. Your ideas are original and creative.

Neptune
You are romantic, imaginative, visionary and impressionable. You are service oriented, and really know what it's like to walk in another persons shoes. You are compassion and wise and may find the rough edges of life to be a little much at times so you either retreat or escape. There is a need to balance your outer life by taking an equal amount of time to be alone and reflective. Music is very soothing for you and you feel nurtured living near water.

Finding the drive and ambition to succeed in professional activities in this fast paced, changing world is not always easy for you. When you discover what you love to do, and your heart is truly in it, you can accomplish anything. When you open yourself up to the sacred and the spiritual, you begin to make great strides in understanding your life journey. You will likely spend a part of your life in a quiet environment as you give yourself fully to your calling.

You are often interested in the occult and metaphysical studies for you are intuitive and attracted to the mystical experience. You are happy when learning that which allows you align with your own inner wisdom.

Pluto
In your younger years, you may seek intense emotional experiences in order to feel alive, going after things with an 'all or nothing' kind of attitude. When this involves relationships, it can be difficult to sustain this level of intensity. You often mask your vulnerability by being in control. When your drive and ambitions are well directed, you have incredible stamina and determination to achieve your goals.

You are often attracted to power and are in fact, learning much about power. If you carry 'power ' issues, you may attract others into your life who appear to have power over you, taking on the role of 'arbitrator', while you take on the role of 'victim'. This scenario can create tremendous struggle and frustration, as you escalate between feeling powerful and powerless. It may also serve the purpose of fueling your need to be right and to win. The real secret is in recognizing the power within yourself, and directing that toward your own self-transformation. As you embark on this journey and work through your own psychological issues, you have the capacity to carry tremendous light and healing energy.

Some people are challenged by your intensity, while others are attracted to you like a magnet. You need to have purpose in your life so that you can fuel your inner fire, dive into the alchemic process and create something which you value.
