I've got no problem with that -

1017 EST 18 January 1956, Detroit, MI, 42N20 83W03

Sun 27:31 Capricorn/11
Moon 00:19 Aries/1
Mercury 13:27 Aquarius/12
Venus 01:17 Pisces/12
Mars 02:30 Sag/9
Jupiter 29:56 Leo/6, retrograde
Saturn 00:30 Sag/8,9
Uranus 00:24 Leo/5, retrograde
Neptune 00:22 Scorpio/7,8
Pluto 28:04 Leo/6, retrograde

North Node 15:09 Sag/9
MC 23:56 Sag (is 10th house cusp)
Rising 17:51 Pisces

Chiron 4 Aquarius/11
Pallas 27:00 Cap, conjunct Sun
Ceres, then Lilith, then Mercury all conjunct (Ceres latest)
Juno 27 Sag
Vesta 5 Scorpio

Hidalgo conjunct North Node 14 Sag
Toro 11 Sag
Eros 10 Sag
Sappho 14 Aries
Pandora about 5 Cancer, retrograde
Diana 14 Cancer, retrograde
Amor about 7 Virgo
Psyche (ooh) 5 Gemini, stationary going direct

Icarus 12 Cap
Urania 10 Cap
Part of Spirit 15 Cap, I think
Part of Fortune 18:24 Taurus (as i recall)

Mercury in my chart is 30 wall-clock minutes away from going retrograde.
Jupiter-Pluto conjunction are conjunct star Regulus, which is between them.
A star whose name I forget, near Venus, whose character I recall as
symbolizing sickness from abuse (emotional wounds). I forget whether
Sirius or Canopus are doing anything.

Moon in Aries, Aries intercepted in the 1st and Libra in the 7th.
Not one thing in Libra (where is that damn female??)

All of my major planets are close to sign boundaries, except Mercury,
and Mercury is just barely aspected at all - he floats above the whole
chart, seeing everyone else go at it tooth & nail - he is my Mr. Spock,
my Mind. Male and Female polarities in the major planets in almost perfect
balance. 6 planets in fire to 2 in water and 1 each earth and air,
my signature is Leo, so I'm hell on wheels. Since everything is near 0 of
any sign, everything's in aspect, except Mercury. Grand Fire Trine (Moon,
Mars=Saturn, Uranus), actually a kite pattern (Sun opposite Uranus),
double-yods Pl=Ju + Ne point at Moon, and Moon + Sun point at Pl-Ju;
Uranus inconjunct Venus; Venus Trined Neptune; Mercury quintile Saturn;
T-square Neptune squares opposition Su-Ur; also Ma-Sa square Venus opposite
Pl-Ju. NOT AN EASY LIFE. But someone has to do it.

Unfortunately, here I disagree with you. I am doing *exactly* what would
qualify me to bill myself out as an astrologer, in fact I will do so soon.
It being subjective means yes, I have my own style - we all do. The analysis
of Casper is a mere portion of what I would do with a client - my attitude
is toward healing, what is wrong and why, and what can be done about it.
I also do pretty well with Synastry (relationships). I think the largest gift
to come out of a reading is self-acceptance and self-knowledge - an inventory
of where you're at. Casper can be as much a fuddy-dud as he wants to, and it's
alright because that's how he is - his chart says so. His Jupiter in Aries
gives him to be an aggressive, snarling cur - and *that's okay*. All I care
about is that he knows himself in relation to me, and we can laugh at each
other for our quirks - it's all an act.

I can analyze myself here later - but all the "I'm like this" stuff I write,
is *already* the manifestation of my chart. Big mouth about me is Uranus/Leo/5,
Sweet guy loves everyone is Venus/Pisces/12, and opposed to Pluto=Jupiter/Leo/6
says "be nice to me and *we'll* be nice - or I'll *kill* you." Sex on the brain
non-stop is Grand Fire trine, Eros conjunct Toro conjunct Hidalgo conjunct
North Node in Sag trined Sappho in Aries, 1st house - a flesh machine, a born
porn star - and Venus trined Neptune has me a transpersonal empath with a nice
voice and a soft touch - all told I am an ideal lover. And I don't have a
girlfriend! (Saturn square Venus.) I don't make passes (yet; Mars conjunct
Saturn.) I mean, shy as I am, believe me, it's *hard* to be me -
I self-immolate every few days trying to get out of the 12th house with Mercury
and Venus. Mercury is beginning to do that here.
So more about it all later.
