Sample Text from a Your Spiritual Path Report:

Your Creative Process
The Sun is the source of all physical life as we know it. As children develop, Sun sign characteristics are colored by family circumstances, cultural values, and other environmental influences. Yet we develop according to our own individual character IN SPITE of everything. The voice within us will not be denied. It cannot be eradicated and it never gives up. When we are on an appropriate path to our true spiritual destiny our inner voice is a gentle guide. When we stray into less productive territory, the voice becomes more forceful. When we attempt to stifle this inner voice of character, it waits patiently for the proper moment and speaks again. The Sun sign reveals your conscious attitude toward the external world. The following description of the Sun explores your natural tendencies of mental style and action.
With the Sun in Cancer, you are primarily the Feeling type. If the sensation types say, "Just the facts, ma'am," the feeling types say, "and how does it feel when that happens?" Feeling types evaluate situations on the basis of sentiment and may disregard logical processes as ineffective with others and unsatisfying to themselves. They can think logically, but may choose not to unless pressed by circumstances. You are not an emotional disaster area. Rather you are prone to making judgments about things, as in "I feel that is the best way to go." In order to maintain the capacity for fair judgment, it is important to remove or reduce any psychological pollution in the work place caused by unkind, unsympathetic gossip, threatening behavior on the part of co-workers, or idle complaining that is not backed by constructive suggestions. Feeling types can do well in careers that call for sensitivity in relating to other people. You have the ability to bridge the gap between people, and therefore make good counselors, sales people, heads of families, members of the clergy - any job where interpersonal relationships are at the core of productive work. You have a psychic connection to the people and things around you. Often you can "get the point" before other people even state it. You can over-react, but generally return to an acceptable level quickly.
How You Express Your Will
The Sun indicates your will power and its direction. One of the reasons we can identify Sun signs in other people is that they are often willful in their actions. Especially in childhood they are determined, demanding and rebellious against anything that does not conform to their will. The Children of each Sun show us the power of will. The information about your Sun sign focuses on the potential expression (and the associated undercurrents).
I will be self-indulgent (when I could take better care of myself). I will be frivolous (when I could be sensible). I will be touchy (when I could be appreciative of another's intention). I will be timid (when I could be expressive). I will be aimlessly dreamy (when I could direct my imagination into fruitful activity). I will procrastinate (when I could allow things to flow in their normal channel).
Your Sun is in the 11th house. The physiology that supports walking creates a focus on your shins and ankles. You need to stretch and warm up before walking or running in order to prepare your lower legs properly. You need to flex your mental "muscles" before engaging in your work as well. You may choose to play games on your computer, do crossword puzzles, or some other mental activity that you enjoy. Don't save the fun for the end, begin your day with some of it. You have the capacity to join intellect and intuition into a formidable spiritual team. Thought alone is not satisfying, and intuition alone has no ground in fact. You need to cultivate both to satisfy your spiritual yearnings.
Aspects of the Sun
You find great joy in life, but are also aware of the depth of sadness and other feelings. As you take the spiritual path, you begin to see these less as opposites and more as part of a continuum of feeling. When you can bring higher values to bear in both joy and sadness, you achieve a synthesis of possibilities. Spiritual character for you is involved in the playing out of rituals in daily activities. You have an intuitive bias toward respectful behavior, and you listen to this inner voice for guidance in difficult moments. As you move through life, you find that what you know about yourself more and more closely approximates your inner spiritual being. You are able to evaluate your spiritual position with great precision.
Core Beliefs
Much of the pain and limitation we experience is the result of being taught so-called "truths" that are incompatible with our core beliefs. Family and society train us, and sometimes little is done to nurture our individual realities. It is up to you to identify and nurture the values that are meaningful to you. When the filtering process is undertaken, you uncover a "truth" that is unique to you.
The Moon
The Moon reflects the soul. It governs fluids in your body and imagination in your mind. It generally represents a less conscious part of your being, and reflects the quality and flexibility of your memory. If the Sun indicates the most likely course of your spiritual path, the Moon indicates some of the qualities of the path itself.
With the Moon in Capricorn, your secondary mental style is primarily the Sensation type. There is a practical side to your nature that comes from deep within. On the surface you are not focused on the material side of life, but your inner voice is always presenting some grounded argument that guides your actions. Thus, no matter what you are involved in, there is a considered quality to your actions that generally brings solid results. Your psychic senses run to the physical. You may be able to dowse for lost objects or water, for example. Or you may find that you sense oncoming illness in yourself and others. To develop this capacity further, you may want to record your psychic sensations and track them. Anytime you have communication with your less conscious side, it is important to acknowledge it in some way - to show respect for its power. You don't have to act in every instance, but you can acknowledge that you have received the information. If you don't the signal may become more distressing, or the voice may sink into silence.
You aspire to more ambitious goals than many of your family members. This includes the spiritual path. You apply a very practical measurement to beliefs. If they work, don't change them; if they don't work, replace them. Now.
Aspects of the Moon
Emotional and sexual intensity can separate you from spirit or bring you closer, depending on your awareness of the richness of the interactions you experience. The creative dynamics of two people merging is a profound source of spiritual awareness if you get past the physical tension and emotional conflict. This deepening of experience takes time. Women inspire your spiritual life just as they influence you in other ways. Your soul and persona are well aligned. Thus other people are seldom surprised by your decisions and actions.
The Fourth House
The sign on the Fourth House cusp indicates the filter through which you view your core beliefs. It is the wellspring of all the best, most creative and most powerful ideas you will have throughout your lifetime. It indicates the refrain that the inner voice sings to you when you are sad or filled with joy, when you are pessimistic or optimistic, when you are afraid or when you are experiencing the power of love in your life.
You have Sagittarius on the Fourth House cusp. Your core beliefs center on spiritual aspirations. All the window dressing of day-to-day experience aside, at the core you understand that you are a spiritual being. Early childhood training may have imposed a specific set of spiritual values on you, and these may not be values that resonate with you. A significant part of your path may relate to discovering different systems and digesting the part that is meaningful to you in this lifetime.
You may have focused your energies on intellectual development. This can be very valuable to you, or it can be a trap in which you address the rational, logical side of what you learn, without experiencing the intuitive, spiritual values that underlay just about everything. By the same token, intellectual development provides a substantial foundation on which to construct your spiritual value system. A set of values without logical coherence would be difficult to implement.
As your spiritual values begin to provide a single direction for your life, it is even more important to be certain you are being driven by your own values. And as you press forward you may find that other people, lacking the same kind of focus in their lives, will not appreciate your ability to cut through unimportant details to the heart of matters you find significant. They will want to beat around the bush to assuage their own desires - desires that have little or nothing to do with the problem at hand. You will need to keep your eye on your spiritual goal while exercising patience with others.
The Inner Voice
Planets in the Fourth House reflect the inner voice that accompanies you throughout your life. They indicate the kind of people and experiences that most directly connect you to your core beliefs. ... ... ...
