Sun in Virgo, Moon in Cancer
This is a very harmonious relationship, because it combines practicality and common sense, with emotion and sensitivity. You are essentially hard-working and like to serve others.
Internally, you pay constant attention to detail, and this makes you a most careful worker. Because of the practicality of the sign of Virgo, sensible, necessary tasks are enjoyed and not avoided. Your desire for privacy leads to happiness at home or work, as long as you are not interrupted without notice.
You react to feelings rather than to reason, rationalizing this way of thinking as ideas instinctively obtained. You will be sympathetic and friendly but defensive toward people you like.
In love you are tender and emotional, easily offended and sad if rejected, but eager to respond to affection and return it.
Ascendant in Cancer, Moon in the Twelfth House
At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Cancer was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler the Moon is located in the twelfth house.
Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiacal belt and its natives are under the rulership of the Moon. Your life will be full of changes and intermittent periods of activity and relaxation. Your vulnerability to external influences makes you subconsciously imitate the manners and ways of those with whom you relate.
In many instances, circumstances will require that you play the role of worldliness and sophistication but under the mask there will exist a very sensitive human being who is easily offended, and also very perceptive of the more subtle influences and impressions, as well as of psychic vibrations.
Cancer gives the tendency to completely retreat when hurt or frightened of a situation. This happens to you often because you tend to interfere in the affairs of others when you are not needed or wanted. Throughout your life, your responses will be emotional rather than rational.
Cancer also gives a tendency for life to be centered in the home and family; your attachment to your private and domestic habits is so strong that without them you could hardly endure. In love matters, you are emotional and gentle.
For the difficult aspects we must warn you against becoming overly preoccupied with trivial details of a psychological nature. Another tendency that you have is to flatter and to criticize carelessly, without regard for the other person's feelings.
Destiny may place you in environments where your natural traits can be best expressed. You will be happier when allowed to be occupied with searching for a person or a thing, though not necessarily in important work.
Your life possesses an aura of peculiar activities and studies realized in out-of-the-way places.
You will either live secretively or possess important secrets of another person. Your mind is greatly influenced by the sea of subconsciousness and there is an inborn love for occultism, mystery, and romantic adventures. On the other side, this position may give you a certain lack of stability and firmness in dealing with others.
Venus in the Third House
Venus was in the third house of your horoscope at the time of birth. You are keenly interested in the creative arts, and your thoughts and words are surrounded by a halo of beauty, taste, and proportion. Your mind actually feels the emotions connected with nature and the higher aspects of things human. Venus here augurs pleasant and kind relations with members of your family; the disposition of your intellect is congenial, youthful, and attractive.
The keys to a better integration of both your mental and emotional functions consist of deepening your personal relationships and of turning the mind inward so that you may be able to know the world better by means of true self-knowledge.
Sun in the Fourth House
The Sun appears in the fourth house at the time of your birth. This is an indication that parental name, family affairs and other domestic matters are of the utmost importance in your life.
Sun brings honor, pride, and fame to anything under its influence, and it is indicated that the problem of these influences here is that proper success for you cannot materialize until you are well past your mature years. There appears to exist a very strong attachment to one of your parents.
You believe in being the "ruler" in your home, and the sense of privacy is extensively developed in your nature.
As life passes you will experience illuminating insights connecting your individuality with certain racial and family elements. Study them. You will then perhaps discover the nature of the spiritual mission which destiny requires of you.
Saturn in the Sixth House
Saturn was found in your sixth house at the time of birth. This is a very faithful position. It indicates that your destiny will be fulfilled by overcoming obstacles in achieving success in your work.
In general, your work orientation and general health may be difficult at times, but you have enough willpower and stamina to make the best of them. Even if you find problems in working and you may also be distressed by your relationships with subordinates or fellow employees, you can prove your reliability by doing your duty and taking responsibility for the general work process. Most of the more unfortunate circumstances should be regarded as tests of your character and viewed in this manner, you may obtain much enrichment in your psychic life from this knowledge and experience of pain.
Moon in the Twelfth House
The Moon was in your twelfth house at the time of birth. Secretly, you enjoy a love of romance and adventure that lends a bit of excitement to your daydreaming.
It is possible that the little popularity that you may enjoy in this life will be from some very reserved and secretive circles where your merits are recognized.
It can be expected that you will be successful in positions that call for solitude or remote locations.

Have the best Christmas ever! (and how to avoid horrendous dramas)
Even for those of us who aren't Christian, Christmas has become a time of excitement, good cheer and giving. It is that special time of the year, when everyone gets a chance to give and receive. Relationships are important, friends are important, children are important, but most of all, family is important. So what could possibly go wrong at such an auspicious occasion? As you may well know: everything!
Christmas brings out the child in each of us, for good or for ill. Add to this, much wine and a hangover from the office party and you have a recipe for disaster. So how can you avoid the Christmas pitfalls and have the best Christmas ever?
Clear out the Ghost of Christmas Past
When you have an event that repeats itself annually: New Year, your birthday, anniversary etc, this particular day develops its own history for you. Christmas in particular is important because it is an emotionally charged event that involves almost everyone. Its history begins at a young and tender age when you wait for Santa to come down the chimney, and continues annually to the present day when you are looking forward to an all night party with friends. Each year the memories collect and build. The strange (and unfortunate) thing about our memory is that many people seem to have a bias for remembering the traumatic and negative things that have happened to them. These hidden memories from the past are buried deep in the back of your mind. And then they become the basis of vague moods and non-specific fears or obsessions that lurk around in future Christmases. These are the ghosts of Christmas past. There are no prizes for guessing what happens when you harbour negative fears or hang-ups – yes, they have a magical way of reappearing in the future. So how can you stop your Christmas ghosts from haunting your house on December 25th?
Try this little exercise:
Close your eyes and count backwards from 10 to 1. As you do, imagine yourself walking down some stairs. As you walk down the stairs you are going backwards in time. When you reach number 1 you are a young child standing in front of a doorway. Behind the doorway are the ghosts of your Christmases memories - all the experiences that you are ready to let go of. Open the door and look into the past. You could see things, events, words, people, disappointments, anything or nothing. Blow into the room. As you blow, imagine a huge gust of wind coming from your mouth that blows these negative fears away. Watch them dissolve.
At this Christmas 2006, if you start to feel the familiar footsteps of those old ghosts, remember that you blew them away, and they are now gone. Take time out to quietly relax in your own mind. Even though your ghosts are laid to rest, some of your Christmas guests may not have disposed of theirs! Let these experiences wash over you and dissolve into thin air. You don't need to get involved in it - it is not your skeleton. Your closet it clean! Let others play out their own dramas and you can be an island of peace. What you will find is that your peaceful energy will draw others into a new vibration. Who wants to be battered by a hurricane of chaos when you can be sitting on an island paradise?
Free yourself from Great Expectations
The opposite to negative expectations for Christmas, is the great expectations we can harbor. This is especially a killer for romantic relationships. When you want the love of your life to fit in with your family and it doesn't happen, it can totally destroy your Christmas happiness. Or, you might be waiting for that special acknowledgement from someone and it doesn't come. Or if it does, it doesn't happen the way you want it to happen. Suddenly you are heading for a fight to the scale of relationship break-up. What is meant to be a time for singing and dancing can become a time of swearing and hurling insults that you probably don't really mean. Christmas, being such an emotionally charged time for everyone, can turn a small molehill into a major mountain. The key is to not fall into the trap of incomplete logic. For example: he didn't introduce me to his kids therefore he doesn't love me.
For some reason, Christmas makes our interpretation of events far more emotional and distorted than usual. If there is a time when we are more likely to go off the deep end, it is Christmas. To avoid these potholes of logic you need to focus on the underlying real bonds. Even if your mum is acting really weird or your partner has become a cold fish, accept that they still love you. Maybe they are just dealing with their own ghosts or trying to come to grips with their great (and often, dashed) expectations. If the deep connection was there in the first place, one Christmas brawl is not going to destroy it, any more than a rain shower can destroy a field of flowers. In the end, whatever traumas occur, if the love is there, the bond will only strengthen and grow from the challenge.
Real bonding
Christmas is a time for real bonds to occur. This is why there is a tradition of giving and receiving gifts. This is that special time of the year for spontaneous good deeds and connecting with your community. The key to these lovely Christmassy experiences is that people go beyond their small ego and connect with one another heart to heart. This is what we are all looking for at Christmas - a real feeling of bonding. Keep your eyes peeled for all the ways that people might be trying to reach out to you. Sometimes it can be the smallest thing that happens that can make your Christmas great. Even a little bird landing on your window can bring unexpected joy and a sense of wonder to you if you are open to it. When you have an open heart, it does not take much to make you happy and joyful.
To connect with someone else's heart the first step is to find a way to connect with your own heart. Then you are ready to share with others. To discover your own unique way of sharing for this Christmas try this short exercise. Close your eyes and let the first thing that comes to you be the way: a card, a smile, a great meal. You can be as creative and original as you dare!
Some simple Conflict Avoiding Rules
Rule Number 1 - Time out:
Take time out if things seem to be flaring up either within you or around you. Remember - you don't have to stand in the middle of the flames and continue to be burnt. Step aside and let things quieten down.
Rule Number 2 - Warming signs:
Read the signs. If you have a fairly good idea that your partner needs 5 rum and cokes to become a wisecracking insult machine, then watch out for the signs. Being aware of signs early can nip things in the bud. If you can't nip things in the bud then refer to rule number one!
Rule Number 3 - Accept conflict:
The reality is that when you stick a whole group of people and / or children together (particularly those who have a history with one another) there is a good chance there will be a bust up or two. So accept this and don't let it ruin your day. You don't have to stress yourself out being the peacemaker between warring sides. Simply let it happen and have a good sense of humour about issues if they do flare up. There is nothing more healing than being able to look at a situation and laugh. Or at least get on with the party when the tiff is over. The most important thing is to keep conflict in its place - which is bottom of the priority list on your best Christmas ever.
Rule Number 4: Enjoy yourself.

Forgiveness works! It is often difficult, AND it works!
If we really want to love, we must learn how to forgive. - Mother Theresa
We often think of forgiveness as something that someone who has done us wrong must ask of US. There is always another way of looking at something. My thoughts on forgiveness suggest that you focus on offering forgiveness TO the person who has wronged you. To not forgive them is like taking the poison (continuing to suffer for what they did or didn't do to you) and expecting THEM to die!
Alexander Pope once said, "To err is human; to forgive, Divine." Believe it!
Forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself. It is not something you do FOR someone else. It is not complicated. It is simple. Simply identify the situation to be forgiven and ask yourself: "Am I willing to waste my energy further on this matter?" If the answer is "No," then that's it! All is forgiven.
Forgiveness is an act of the imagination. It dares you to imagine a better future, one that is based on the blessed possibility that your hurt will not be the final word on the matter. It challenges you to give up your destructive thoughts about the situation and to believe in the possibility of a better future. It builds confidence that you can survive the pain and grow from it.
Telling someone is a bonus! It is not necessary for forgiveness to begin the process that heals the hurt. Forgiveness has little or nothing to do with another person because forgiveness is an internal matter.
Choice is always present in forgiveness. You do not have to forgive AND there are consequences. Refusing to forgive by holding on to the anger, resentment and a sense of betrayal can make your own life miserable. A vindictive mind-set creates bitterness and lets the betrayer claim one more victim.
There is nothing so bad that cannot be forgiven. Nothing!

Techniques for improving your intuition
1. Relaxation...
You can learn how to relax and follow the feeling that goes with the intuition. This is the fundamental practice in any psychic or intuitive work. As you practice relaxing more and more when an intuition comes to you, you will discover that you can hold onto the feeling of it for longer and longer periods. This gives you more time to explore the intuition before it starts to fade away back down into your subconscious mind.
2. Expand your senses...
You can also learn which of the senses you seem to favour in how your body responds or reacts. Intuition relies on your senses to give you the message that something is happening and you need to take notice. Although intuition development teaches you how to understand all your senses, you'll find that you favour one of your senses in the way that your intuitions communicate their messages to you. With practice, you might discover that your sense of seeing within, or clairvoyance, is the way your intuition communicates most strongly to you. Of course, you'll need to study your other intuitive senses, such as clairaudience and clairsentience, in order to discover which sensory pathway is the way you favour.
3. Journaling
You can write about your intuitions, as a way of getting them out into the open. Writing in a workbook or special intuition journal is a very effective means of exploring your intuitions. I recommend that you write what comes to you at the end of track three in particular. Intuitions often come to you in a special context that will not be quite the same again, so it is best to capture them at the time they happen.
4. Intuition in Action
You might be talking to a work colleague and something flashes before your eyes. Instead of leaving it until later to make sense of, pause for a moment, take the feeling within you and relax into it. Even if the understanding doesn't come right then, you are practising giving the intuition the focus it is looking for from you. That is where the relaxation on track two is an effective way to go deeper into your subconscious mind.
