 The word "karma" comes from an old Sanskrit word for "action".
 Physical Laws like gravity have a BALANCING effect; so that when
 a force is exerted it is always balanced by an equal & opposing
 action.  Spiritual Laws operate in a similar way; and the Law of
 Karma is one of them.  Karma is only an impersonal effect which
 BALANCES things - it does NOT seek to punish or reward even if
 at times people see it that way.  Karmic LESSONS are your guide &
 your "feedback" -- whose effects are TO HELP YOU LEARN AND GROW.

 YOUR nJupi 26Lib24 H2
 You cannot believe in Justice unless laws are seen to be fair
 & consistent & applied equally & impartially to all.  So too you
 cannot have FAITH in the karmic LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT...unless
 it is always seen to be fair & consistent & applied universally
 & impersonally.  Finding a FAITH in a BENEVOLENT Universe -- and
 ACCEPTING & TRUSTING a UNIVERSAL system of SPIRITUAL JUSTICE --
 is how you learn to give up your illusions of "luck" or the blind
 belief in yourself or in the man made rules of a religious sect.

 Learning the workings of this spiritual Law of Cause & Effect
 -- that we reap what we sow or receive what we give out -- can
 be best learned in this lifetime through experiences in the areas
 of life mentioned below.  You'll learn that there is no Luck; but
 that what you give freely & generously to others will EVENTUAL-
 LY return to bless you.  You'll learn that real happiness cannot
 be achieved without working for it; and that positive thoughts &
 emotions & deeds create positive results at some time EVERY time.

 You'll be learning important lessons about the LAW OF CAUSE &
 EFFECT (what you give out you'll get back...good or bad) in this
 lifetime.  You'll learn through situations concerning...(1) your
 MATERIAL RESOURCES...where you need to develop faith in your
 ability to attract what you NEED when you need it; (2) VALUES...
 where you need to learn to trust your conscience and live by your
 own ETHICAL and MORAL VALUES; (3) TASTES & TALENTS...where you
 need to have FAITH in your own talents and TRUST in your taste.

 YOUR rSatu 19Sag08 H4
 You cannot learn your karmic lessons unless you are willing
 to ACCEPT SOLE RESPONSIBILITY in creating your own karma.  Learn-
 ing that we are all responsible to universal SPIRITUAL LAWS that
 go beyond the laws of a land or of a religion is the first step.
 To accept that we are ultimately answerable to universal laws is
 to accept greater responsibility for OURSELVES.  Then we have a
 reason to CONCENTRATE on living in harmony with spiritual laws
 and making an EFFORT to WORK for spiritual--not material--goals.

 Learning to be RESPONSIBLE for ourselves and the results of our
 attitudes & actions can best be learned in this lifetime through
 experiences in the areas of life listed below.  You'll learn that
 you CAUSE your own pain & suffering when you act against spiri-
 tual laws;  that you are responsible for looking after your OWN
 needs AND the needs of others in need;  that you need to "do the
 right thing" WILLINGLY --not out of duty or peer pressure or to
 gain social acceptance & status; and to ACT on your CONVICTIONS.

 Your FAMILY LIFE (both as a child AND as an adult) and the
 FEMALES in your life (especially mothers and care-givers) are the
 focus of lessons for you in this lifetime about PERSONAL RESPON-
 SIBILITY in NURTURING & EMOTIONAL CARE.  You need to learn how
 to give emotional support and to fulfill your obligations to care
 for loved ones out of a sincere CONVICTION about what is RIGHT--
 NOT what society expects of you.  You must learn to accept PERSON-
 AL RESPONSIBILITY for your own emotional blocks & insecurities.

 YOUR nUran 12Leo42 H12
 You cannot really exercise your FREE WILL until you release any
 attachments which bind you materially or emotionally or intel-
 lectually.  You cannot exercise your right to be a UNIQUE & FREE
 INDIVIDUAL until you learn to allow everyone the freedom to be
 DIFFERENT FROM YOU; and learn to act as a free individual without
 disturbing or disrupting other individuals.  Though we act in-
 dependently we are spiritually INTER-DEPENDENT.  Realizing the
 UNITY or AT-ONEMENT of all Souls is to love others "as yourself".

 Learning to exercise FREE WILL while allowing others freedom
 to exercise theirs; and learning to act as a UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL
 while letting other individuals have different ideas and follow
 different paths; and learning that we are equal but not the
 same in our mental & physical & emotional make-up...yet united &
 identical in our spiritual nature -- can best be learned in
 this lifetime through events & experiences in the areas of life
 noted next.  You'll learn HUMILILTY & TOLERANCE--and INTUITION.

 In this lifetime you will learn many lessons about INDIVIDUALITY
 & INSIGHT & INSPIRATION & ACCEPTANCE mainly through these two
 areas of life: HELPING & HEALING ...where you need to use your
 insight & intuition to help your self and others relieve personal
 suffering in a constructive way -- through ENLIGHTENMENT and NOT
 through useless or self-destructive forms of escapism or self-
 deception;  SPIRITUALITY...where you need to learn and teach ways
 of transcending the ego -- meditation/prayer/music/dance/art...

 YOUR nNept 02Sco18 H3
 Madonna, you cannot experience the ecstasy of True Love while you
 remain focused on YOURSELF or on any SELF-ISH desires.  Real LOVE
 is UNCONDITIONAL LOVE...it sees BEAUTY and VALUE in the Soul of
 another and seeks only to share a sense of at-oneness at a Soul
 level.  Learning to love one human being unconditionally allows
 us to extend that love to others and eventually to all humanity.
 Our search for an IDEAL LOVE is but a yearning for a feeling of
 AT-ONEMENT with a UNIVERSAL LOVE that fills us when we GIVE Love.

 Lessons in this lifetime about LOVE and BEAUTY are to be found
 mainly in the areas of life detailed below.  You need to learn
 about...LOVING even when you are not loved; seeing Beauty beyond
 mere physical appearances; feeling EMPATHY and COMPASSION with
 the feelings of others; becoming SENSITIVE to emotions in others
 and to INSPIRATIONS in your Soul and to PSYCHIC INTUITION in your
 Mind; becoming sensitive to the feelings inspired by BEAUTY in
 the arts and music; and to hold to IDEALS despite disillusions.

 You focus your HIGHEST IDEALS on --and draw your GREATEST IN-
 SPIRATIONS from-- the same areas of life:  COMMUNICATION of ideas
 & information; CONNECTING people who have common interests & seek
 similar spiritual goals; COLLECTING facts & philosophies from a
 wide variety of conversations & lectures & films & books so that
 you can be a source of ideas for those seeking spiritual insight.
 You are here to learn lessons on UNCONDITIONAL LOVE--giving with-
 out getting--and about TEACHING OTHERS TO LOVE THEIR NEIGHBOURS.

 YOUR nPlut 01Vir42 H12
 You cannot tap into the universal energy which manifests psy-
 chological transformations and physical healings until you have
 learned to align your SELF-WILL with Universal Will.  As you be-
 come aware you are part of one greater whole you become willing
 to act more for the Greater Good and less for personal desires.
 Learning to SURRENDER your Will to this Higher Power requires a
 willingness to RELINQUISH YOUR ATTACHMENTS to...personal power;
 control; compulsive obsessions; & defensive behaviour patterns.

 Learning to let go; to CHANGE; to FACE YOUR FEARS; to let down
 your defenses; TO TRUST; to be vulnerable; to give up the need
 to be in CONTROL; to ACCEPT ENDINGS & LOSSES; to discharge or
 TRANSFORM NEGATIVE EMOTIONS; to develop psychic HEALING power &
 diagnostic talents; to CONFRONT subconscious urges & drives; to
 surrender in the sex act; and to SURRENDER YOUR DESIRES to a de-
 sire to do what is BEST FOR ALL concerned -- these are the karmic
 lessons which are best learned in the following areas of life.

 This lifetime has been and will be a series of tests and trials
 involving your SECRET SELF:  the secret shadows of your psyche...
 HIDDEN fears/guilts/resentments from past experiences and past
 lives.  At various times in your life OLD MEMORIES WILL COME BACK
 TO HAUNT YOU;  and you will have to deal with old issues and face
 old fears...so you can LEARN TO LET GO OF THE PAST by FORGIVING
 & FORGETTING.  You'll be meeting with situations which require a
 complete SURRENDER or SACRIFICE of your Will or Self-interest.

 YOUR nNode 23Lib57 H2
 Your sub-conscious contains memories of past experiences in
 which you were FRUSTRATED & ANGRY at being blocked & restrained
 and this creates a driving need TO COMPETE & CONQUER or MEET NEW
 CHALLENGES and CHASE NEW GOALS.  You developed self-confidence &
 SELF-interest to the extremes of aggression and narcissism; now
 you inherit a COMBATIVE nature and a VANITY over some physical
 features.  A sense of LONELINESS haunts you.  Unconscious DESIRES
 could be strong enough to DRAIN those whose ATTENTION you crave.


 YOUR KARMIC CURRICULUM - THE TIMING OF LIFE'S LESSONS

 presented according to your OWN `karmic curriculum' timed by what
 might be called a `cosmic clock' represented by the outer planets
 moving through sectors of the sky...the Houses of YOUR Horoscope.

 The word "karma" comes from an old Sanskrit word for "action".
 The Law of Karma is a spiritual Law described in the phrase "As
 ye sow; so shall ye reap!"  To the extent that you have "sown"
 Love by your attitudes & actions in the past (or past lives); you
 may be "reaping" the fruits of your worthwhile efforts by being
 blessed with certain gifts which seem to have just come to you at
 birth or came to you later without any effort.  These are YOUR
 Karmic Gifts.  TO KEEP THEM you must GIVE THEM to help others!

 Physical Laws like gravity have a BALANCING effect; so that when
 a force is exerted it is always balanced by an equal & opposing
 action.  Spiritual Laws operate in a similar way; and the Law of
 Karma is one of them.  Karma is only an impersonal effect which
 BALANCES things -- it does NOT seek to punish or reward even if
 at times people see it that way.  Karmic LESSONS are your guide &
 your "feedback" -- whose effects are TO HELP YOU LEARN AND GROW.

 This report attempts to put as much meaning as possible into as
 little space as possible; please think carefully about every word
 and phrase to see if it has some personal message for you.  Also
 note that this represents your blueprint for life as GIVEN AT
 BIRTH -- over the course of time you likely learned some LESSONS
 the hard way and began using the GIFTS you already earned in past
 life experiences.  NOT ALL eight items in each list will apply to
 YOU in THIS lifetime -- they are only PROBABLE manifestations.

 Paragraphs in PAST TENSE refer to PAST LIVES (maybe THIS life too).

 YOUR nSun  23Leo08 H12 sextile  YOUR nJupi 26Lib24 H2  Orb 3.2
 Through giving of yourself with GENEROSITY and without expecting
 immediate recognition or gain; you have learned that everything
 freely given expands and returns to bless you with greater good.
 By using your talents to benefit others you were rewarded with
 RECOGNITION of your talents and increased OPPORTUNITIES FOR SELF
 EXPRESSION.  You developed GOOD JUDGMENT in using opportunities
 to best advantage; and developed a PHILOSOPHICAL OUTLOOK on your
 successes & failures which gives you a benevolent SENSE OF HUMOR.

 YOUR GIFTS in THIS lifetime COULD be to experience SOME of this...
 __being a good judge of your own abilities & talents & chances.
 __having a positive philosophical outlook on successes & failures.
 __being given opportunities to express yourself and your talents.
 __having opportunities to learn & grow by travel or by foreigners.
 __bearing children who provide you with a sense of self-fulfilment.
 __having an instinct which knows when to pursue an opportunity.
 __having parents or close friends who are good-humored & generous.
 __dealing with males (or a Father) who are generous & encouraging.
 Something that has been kept supressed or secret or HIDDEN is
 likely to reveal itself at the time you need to deal with it.

 YOUR rMerc 05Vir38 H12 sextile  YOUR nNept 02Sco18 H3  Orb 3.3
 In past experiences your ideas have reflected a high ideal in
 which COMMUNICATION between all persons --all mankind-- becomes
 an expression of Universal Love and Understanding.  Though you
 were often disappointed when the high expectations you had for
 others failed to materialize in their response to your inspired
 spoken words (speeches/sermons/ or acting) or your written words
 (stories/prose/plays/poems/textbooks/ or essays); you KEPT YOUR
 IDEALS ALIVE by concentrating on the CREATIVITY not the response.

 YOUR GIFTS in THIS lifetime COULD be to experience SOME of this...
 __having a creative mind which is original and often "inspired".
 __being a clever talker or even an inspired speaker or preacher.

 DEEPLY BURIED--is a key element here.  Something comes to light.

 YOUR rMerc 05Vir38 H12 CONJUNCT YOUR nPlut 01Vir42 H12 Orb 3.9
 You focused much of your energy into developing mental & verbal
 powers; but instead of allowing Universal Mind to guide you in
 using your INTELLECTUAL POWERS for the greatest good of all...
 you turned them towards gaining personal power or PROVING YOUR-
 SELF A BETTER THINKER AND ARGUER than others.  Instead of using
 your mental and verbal skills to help or heal others ...you used
 them to EXPOSE OTHERS' WEAKNESS and prove your superior powers.
 You tended to be stubborn and to BLAME OTHERS for your troubles.

 YOUR nSun  23Leo08 H12 trine    YOUR rSatu 19Sag08 H4  Orb-4.0
 We each have a duty to give of ourselves and USE our special
 talents for the benefit of mankind.  You met your obligations
 and demonstrated it by persevering in your fields of endeavour
 in spite of limitations or lack of encouragement.  Avoiding the
 urge to seek status and social approval...you calmly continued
 to contribute your talents and KEEP YOUR COMMITMENTS.  By deve-
 loping DISCIPLINE and CONCENTRATION and CONSISTENCY you managed

 In the area of PHYSICAL LOVE you developed a blind belief in your
 ability to attract admiration & affection; to be LUCKY IN LOVE;
 to win people to your side; and to succeed in the area of PERSO-
 NAL RELATIONS and PARTNERSHIPS.  You likely made some commitments
 you could not keep; expected too much of friends & lovers or else

 YOUR nMoon 11Vir32 H1  SQUARE   YOUR rSatu 19Sag08 H4  Orb 7.5
 Your past pattern in providing EMOTIONAL SUPPORT and NURTURING
 to children or those emotionally dependent on you has been one of
 too little or too much.  Either you neglected your duty to give
 enough care; or you cared more about society's idea of "proper"
 care than about giving genuine loving care.  Or you were unduly
 concerned with PROPRIETY or DUTY and REPRESSED your own emotional
 responses;  or INHIBITED them in your children or those close to
 you.  You may have been overly CRITICAL of others--or yourself.

 YOUR LESSONS in THIS lifetime MAY be to experience SOME of this...
 __a difficulty (or self-doubt) in being able to love and be loved.

 __experiencing unexplained worry & depression over family matters.
 __taking on domestic burdens from a sense of DUTY not love & care.
 __having a parent who worries too much or nags or pushes too hard.
 __having a mother who is efficient & dedicated but distant or cold.
 __having female partners who value self-control but not affection.
 __not knowing (or losing) your own Mother;  or not seeing her much.
 How you project your personality and how other people perceive

 YOUR nSun  23Leo08 H12 CONJUNCT YOUR nPlut 01Vir42 H12 Orb-8.5
 You have focused your willpower on DEFINING YOUR INDIVIDUALITY &
 form of self-expression and have likely been recognized as power-
 ful or talented or competent in one or more areas.  RECOGNITION
 may have motivated you;  but you developed a penetrating PERCEP-
 TION which warned you when your pride or need to be noticed got
 out of balance.  You learned to USE YOUR TALENTS FOR UNIVERSAL
 GOOD and WERE WILLING TO MAKE OR ACCEPT CHANGES in your life
 when you had faith that it would ultimately be best for all.
