Just for Women Report
Below is some sample text from a number of the chapters of a Just for
Women report, created from Marilyn Monroe's birth data. These excerpts
show the writing style of the author, Gloria Star. The printed reports
are nicely formatted and output on 8 1/2" x 11" paper on a laser
printer, and are sent in an attractive, heavy-stock "Profile" cover.
Introduction
The astrological signs are defined by one of four elements: fire,
earth, air or water. The fire and air elements have a yang (masculine
polarity) quality, and tend to be more outgoing and assertive in their
nature, whereas the earth and water elements have a yin (feminine
polarity) quality, and are more receptive by nature. The elemental
balance in your chart is determined by the amount of energy within each
elemental sign. The factors added together to find this balance of
energy include the Sun, Moon, planets and the angles of the Ascendant
and Midheaven...
Projection of Your Real Self
Sometimes showing the world who you really are is not easy, and
sometimes the world may not respond as you had hoped! It's helpful to
take a look at the differences and similarities between the attitudes,
impressions and images you project and the person who resides at the
core of your being. With your Sun in Gemini your inquisitive manner and
quick wit may be your trademarks. You need variety, and whether in
relationships, career opportunities or creative endeavors will prefer
to create a life which gives you plenty of options. You may radiate an
air of intelligence, and most enjoy people and situations which
stimulate your mind. The old truth, "you are what you think," is
especially clear to you, and you have the ability to shift your
consciousness and create a whole new realm of life experience by first
altering your mental focus...
Part One: The Lead Roles
Understanding Your Inner Feminine Self
The primary energies associated with your inner feminine self are the
Moon and Venus, but Neptune and Pluto are also significant in your
experience and expression of this part of your psyche. The Moon is the
energy which filters through your subconscious self, and tells the
story of your connection to the part of you which provides nurturing,
support, care and comfort. The person who projects the model for your
Moon energy is your mother, and you see her through the lens of your
own emotional matrix, signified by the Moon. As you mature, you learn
to send this energy into the world, but to be truly effective, you must
first own this energy and know how to use it to care for yourself!
Through the energy of your Aquarius Moon, you have your own unique
style of expressing your femininity. You can be outspoken, and may
express attitudes which go against the grain of conservative thinking.
You've never liked the thought of being saddled with traditional roles,
and even if you have children, you're not likely to take on the job of
mother in a conventional manner. As a revolutionary type of woman, you
might prefer to be considered for who you are as a person. Your
feminine self is not necessarily crippled by this attitude, but you may
have a little trouble expressing your tender emotions or giving in to
your feelings, even when they are overwhelming. What you dislike most
about emotionality is the fact that emotions do not make sense. Well,
it's the truth, but not everything in life is logical, Ms. Spock. You
feel the way you feel, and expressing those feelings does not diminish
you or your power. In fact, it is through that very expression that you
may become fully authenticated! Your unpredictability is rivaled only
by your need for personal space, and you may be uncomfortable in
relationships which have a lot of requirements. Unconditional love and
acceptance are your watchwords, but you may not always find this, even
from yourself, once you cross the threshold of intimacy. If you feel
you've gotten in over you head, your attempt to stabilize yourself may
be a bit radical, and your lover or partner may experience your
withdrawal as aloofness or coldness. Unless you want to underscore this
impression, you must clarify that you simply need a little time and
space to get clear about your feelings. Then, be honest with yourself
about what precipitated your bolting through the door. That fear of
losing your independence and autonomy may have grabbed you by the
throat. But you may also simply need a change. Trust your intuitive
sensibilities to guide you. Be honest about the way you feel and give
up on the idea that you will always understand your emotions. They
simply are. And they are an important part of you...
Part Two: The Supporting Cast
Mercury in Virgo
Virgo + Mercury = Pragmatic (Virgo) Perception (Mercury). With your
conscious mind (Mercury) occupying the sign Virgo, an emphasis on being
very aware of details is indicated. The two of you prosper in a
well-organized life style. You appreciate getting exact answers to each
other's questions. You look for the logic in one another's thinking.
Take turns listening to your partner's concerns and ideas as it brings
you closer in spirit.
Owning Your Inner Masculine Self
Through the process of becoming at home with your ego, you gain a true
sense of personal strength and power. To own this power, you must learn
to acknowledge that it is okay to be recognized for who and what you
are. Your Sun energy is the primary factor in the expression of ego
needs. As a young girl, you may have seen your father through the
filter of your Sun. His power of getting out into the world, and the
manner by which he did it, have shaped your own sense of personal
identity. And today, the Sun in your chart may symbolize significant
men. But this energy is, in itself, the core of your spirit.
Your expression of your masculine sensibilities through your Gemini Sun
is filtered through your intellect. Your admiration for others who are
knowledgeable and communicative is a direct result of your own desire
to know as much as possible. If your early impulse was to think that a
man had more knowledgeable authority than a woman, that has probably
changed radically as you have matured. In fact, you may even challenge
that assumption through your choices in career. However, you may not
think in terms of man versus woman: you're more into dealing with
people for who they are, and may assume that others will also take that
stance. You may even have a knack for communicating quite effectively
with both men and women, and may make strides in bridging the gender
gap. You can waffle a bit in situations which require you to take
control, and may sit on the fence a bit too long some of the time, it
just takes a little objectivity to get this under control, especially
in new circumstances.
But once you know how things work, you can be the maven of juggling
your priorities...
