J. Winters At first glance this keyword system may appear complicated, but by using only one or two signs it's quite simple. With experience, you may want to add more signs for greater complexity. I usually work with three signs each for the hero and heroine -- Sun, Moon and Ascendant. Each astrological sign belongs to one of four Element groups: FIRE (pepper)...EARTH (yeast)...AIR (light)...WATER (shadow). Each sign also belongs to one of three Modal groups: CARDINAL (active)... FIXED (fixed)...MUTABLE (flexible). Hence we arrive at 12 combinations, or the12 signs. Choose one, two, three, up to six signs (see below) per character. Each zodiacal sign has positive and negative traits. Therefore the hero/heroine show more positives (give some negative flaws), the villain more negatives (enrich with positives). A 'positive' trait, ex. Generosity, can go too far and become negative...just as a 'negative' trait, ex. Anger, may be necessary to protect, or to motivate change. No person will show all of a sign's traits because there are so many tempering factors in every chart. Don't hesitate to vary your character, or his/her physical description, when it feels right. SUN SIGN One of the twelve zodiacal signs will form the basis of the characterization, even though it may not be as immediately obvious to the reader as the Ascendant or Moon Sign. All other sign flavors will be colored by the Sun Sign, which is the core, essence, foundation of a character...his/her heart. Be sure any birthday fits! In addition to the Sun sign, you might add... MOON SIGN Choose any zodiacal sign. This sign will describe your character's emotional makeup, instantaneous and gut-level responses, deeply ingrained habits (early programming) and subconscious mind. The Moon indicates how a person was nurtured in childhood, and how s/he will nurture others. Choose positive and/or negative sign characteristics. One can't choose how s/he WAS nurtured, but may choose how to nurture others, using his/her Moon sign as a guide. This could be a reforming factor in the character's development. Challenge its characteristics with those of the Sun Sign for a built-in internal conflict that the character must constantly confront, and learn (because it's not 'natural' to him/her) to integrate for inner harmony and peace. ASCENDANT SIGN Choose any sign. Often (not always, it depends on the introduction within the plot) the first expression of personality we see in a new character. More artificial, less natural expression than the signs of planets. The Ascendant Sign describes early life programming regarding societal survival techniques. Think of it as a transparent layer of color over your character's portrait. It's the simplest area to use for conflict between lovers, because it's shallower, making it easier for them to learn to interact positively. Conflicts are more intrinsic when Sun and/or Moon signs are involved. MERCURY SIGN Choice of three signs: it must be in same sign as the Sun, or the one preceding or following it. Describes conscious thought, communication. "'This is how I think, speak, write." VENUS SIGN Choice of five signs: it must be in same sign as the Sun, or one of the two preceding or following it. Describes the love/desire nature and how it's expressed, in relationships as well as in physical (material, including money and possessions) matters. "This is what I value." MARS SIGN Choose any sign for the expression of action as influenced by desire. "I want...so I go about getting it this way." Now, think of the Sun's, Moon's, Ascendant's, or Planet's action described above, and combine it with some of the characteristics of a Sign below.

J. Winters Website hosted by Kokoski Kreations * Zodiac : Tropical Sun The Sun represents vitality, a sense of individuality and outward-shining creative energy. Libra 21°08' Libra natives are generally thought to be sociable, somewhat intellectual souls. They have an almost innocent way about them that makes them very approachable. Generally quite eager to cooperate, Librans spend a lot of their time trying not to rock the boat. In theory, Libras are peace-loving. In practice, they can quietly stir up all sorts of trouble with their ways. Because Libra enjoys balance in their lives, they seek the middle ground. In the process, they may end up trying to be everything to everyone. This is where their reputation for untruthfulness comes from. Generally, their untruths spring from a true desire for peace and fairness--although they may not be comfortable with direct and malicious trickery, they feel totally justified when they lie in order to avoid making waves. Peace at any price! In this sense, they seem harmless. But, what can result is quite a ruckus! People involved with Libras may crib about their lack of directness and their apparent inability to take a stand. Librans are experts at avoiding being the one to blame. When confronted, they'll (calmly and reasonably) say, "What, me? No, I just want peace." "On the fence", "middle ground", "middle road" -- these are all expressions that we can safely associate with Libra. Some more powerful signs may consider Libra a little on the weak side. This is all a matter of opinion, however! Without Libra, life simply wouldn't be as fair. Librans are known for comparing and thinking in relative terms, instead of in absolutes. This weekend is not just a good weekend, it's better than last weekend. These people are always looking for the "best" way or the "right" way to live. Harmony is the ultimate goal, but their idealism and high expectations can mean plenty of discontent. Since life presents all of us with an extraordinary amount of choices, if Libra doesn't learn to live in the moment at least some of the time, they'll be in a constant state of unrest. Society needs rules, and these rules attempt to bring justice, equality, and fairness. On an individual level, Libra represents these laws of civilization. Libra comes across as very civilized and rather refined. He has a great need to be part of a group. He likes to mix with people and looks for partnerships. He likes and respects justice. He approves of society's values. He is level-headed and assimilates quickly. Weaknesses: does not think enough, he is frivolous. A dilettante in love. He is easily swayed by group pressure.Sun in I You identify strongly with the image you present to others. You make an impression on others -- you have "presence" -- and you know it. You are self-conscious, although you may prefer to project a strong image. You will feel at your best when you make a mark on the world, but avoid obsessing over what others think of you. Accept that you need to be a leader or an innovator, and go for it, but be careful not to be overbearing with others. Forceful personality. His desire for self-development leads to success and this is reflected in his career. Moon The Moon represents the emotional responses, unconscious pre-destination, and the self-image. Leo 15°26' Depending on other positions in the chart, Moon in Leo people are not necessarily outgoing. When they feel comfortable, they do like being the center of attention. That is, they like being in the "spotlight" in the comfort of their own homes and with family and friends. They enjoy entertaining others, and often take on the role of comic. Lunar Leos often feel a need to organize, and even control, their families and friends. They have an inner mission to set things right, and generally like to oversee the goings-on in their little circle. This is a rather creative position of the Moon. At the very least, Moon in Leo people want to create and entertain. They can be rather lazy at times, and a little bossy too. Generally, though, they have a deep need to treat others fairly and justly. Lunar Leos require lots and lots of love and care in order to function well in the world. When they feel slighted, these people can be dramatic in their emotional displays. When their pride has been hurt, they are given to big scenes and sulking. This rarely happens in public, however. Lunar Leos are far too concerned about their image to make splashy scenes outside the comfort of their own homes. In public, they prefer to take things in dignified ways. At home, however, they're given to big displays of emotional drama. These scenes generally don't last too long, however. Lunar Leos are often personally popular folk who are valued for their integrity and strong sense of justice. Generally, it is easy to reason with a Lunar Lion. Appealing to their well-developed sense of fairness usually works well. Short description: He is brave and knows how to take risks, has the courage of his convictions, is honest , imposing and sharp. He has a great sense of, and respect for, justice. Organizational sense. Selectivity in friends, but is not overly influenced by them. Taste for splendor. Weaknesses: changing and numerous affections. Emotionally demanding and proud. Brooding when attention is not forthcoming. Moon in XI Lots of friends, relationships. He makes friends easily and uses his relationships to further professional success. Feelings of friendship are sometimes superficial. Often, lots of children. This position of the Moon indicates an emotional need for a feeling of belonging with, and support from, friends and associations with groups. You look to acquaintances for support, and offer the same in return. A changeable or unstable social life might be a reflection of inner emotional unrest. Waxing and waning feelings for others can cause problems in your relationships. You are a person who is filled with many dreams, wishes, and hopes for your future, and most of these are altruistic and good-hearted desires. However, you might change your aspirations frequently, with your changing moods, and have a hard time settling on goals to work towards as a result. Mercury Mercury represents communication, Cartesian and logical spirit. Scorpio 11°28' He is extremely observant and astute, always reading between the lines and looking for the real meaning behind things. Passionate in speech, excellent at strategy. Natural psychologist. Mercury in II Intelligence geared towards ways of making money, becoming rich. All methods are good, sometimes he is on the borderline of honesty. You have a very practical mind and intelligence, seeing the obvious, most logical answer to any predicament often before others. You don't like to be put on the spot or pushed into talking or coming to a conclusion. Studies are similar--you need to work at your own steady pace. You can be quite one-track minded at times, not very happy with multi-tasking, and often quite fixed in your opinions. Sensual stimuli is more relevant to you than abstract concepts. Venus Venus represents an interest for emotions and values, exchange and sharing with others. Scorpio 4°36' Venus in Scorpio people attract others with their intensity and willingness to commit. They have a strong and concentrated manner which suggests their feelings run deep. Their actions in love tend to promise deep commitment and sexual pleasure, even if they are not telling you this directly. Their appeal lies in their focus on you, and their dedication. Venus in Scorpio seems fearless when it comes to intimacy. Potential lovers get the feeling that Venus in Scorpio will never stray, that they are intensely loyal to the one they love. They possess you, and somehow make it seem attractive to be possessed. Venus in Scorpio men and women give you their complete attention. These people are very focused on their partners. Depending on your personality, you may find this unnerving or entirely flattering. They have a strong need to control their partner, although this won't be immediately apparent, and they may not ever admit to this. Their body-and-soul love and commitment can be so intense that it eclipses fun and makes loving them a very heavy experience. Their emotion and intensity may seem overdone to those looking for a more lighthearted relationship. These people take things to extremes, and can be very provocative. Although they want to explore all of your nooks and crannies, they won't always be forthcoming with their own. When you've upset these lovers, you'll know it. Depending on the moment, Venus in Scorpio will shoot you one of the most piercing glares around, or totally blow up. Whichever style they choose, a slighted Scorpio lover is not a pretty sight. These people can be jealous of all of your attachments, but few will admit it. They're not afraid of being underhanded in matters of the heart, and they are experts at cutting through all the fluff and seeing you for what you are. Still, you may find their conclusions about you seem skewed and mistrustful. Pleasing Venus in Scorpio involves demonstrating your complete commitment and loyalty to them. Appreciate their guts when it comes to love and intimacy -- they're proud of their courage in these matters. If you can, and they're deserving, relinquish some of the control in the relationship. Let them feel they own you, without taking it to extremes. Remember, though, that some Venus in Scorpio lovers can and will take advantage of you on a subtle level, if only to keep you all to themselves. Let them have their secrets and their silences. Short description: Sensual and passionate. Passions run hot and cold. Full of ardor and desire where the partner needs to be able to match his level. Can be jealous and possessive. If disappointed or deceived in love, he can become bitter. Usually very loyal. Venus in I Big-hearted. He is generous, altruistic, devoted, warm-hearted, lovable and sweet-tempered. He is drawn towards the Arts, music, song. He likes gatherings, parties. He has big emotional highs. Craves and often gets peaceful life in love. You are a likable, magnetic, attractive, and charming person whose heart is often on your sleeve. Unless Venus is very challenged, you are easy to befriend, diplomatic, and warm in self-expression. You tend to attract others to you quite readily, and rarely come on too strong or aggressively. Negative expressions of this position include a superficial charm, a tendency to "play dumb" when challenged or in doubt, and two-faced, passive-aggressive behavior. The need to be liked by others, and/or to keep the peace, might lead to feelings of resentment or general unrest if you feel that you give up your own power to others. You might find it difficult to make solid decisions. Your personal sense of style and manner are things that others find fascinating, and you generally pay great attention to how these things benefit you in life. Mars Mars represents the desire for action and physical energy. Leo 11°43' This is one of the more sexual positions of Mars. While they are rather easy to arouse, their passion is long-standing. Mars in Leo natives enjoy sex more than most, as long as heavy doses of love and romance are part of the package. In partnership, they demand loyalty and admiration. Impatient with small-mindedness and disloyalty, Mars in Leo natives generally have a strong idealistic streak. They easily get fired up when they feel they've been humiliated, and they defend their high principles with ardor. Mars in Leo natives act with their heart. Their ego is tied up with their actions, so that most anything they do becomes a source of great pride. Though some are self-righteous and quarrelsome, the more sophisticated people with this position are kindly leaders. Mars in X He devotes lots of energy to work, which continues till a great age. He is a dedicated worker, not afraid of getting down to it. He improves his living conditions. He can complete long-term tasks. He is easily excitable, gets upset and in the same vein criticizes even himself. Jupiter Jupiter represents expansion and grace. Virgo 2°57' He attracts the most good fortune when he is helpful, honest, orderly, and pays attention to details. The service industries, nutrition, and health are prosperous avenues. Practical and technical knowledge and skills are most valued. A real problem solver and others appreciate his help. Doesn't always feel lucky or especially ambitious. Rather, hard work is valued. Jupiter in XI He is cooperative, organizes everyone. He climbs the social ladder thanks to help from friends and acquaintances who are chosen, not for their qualities, but for the advantages they can bring. He achieves his objectives. Saturn Saturn represents contraction and effort. Virgo 21°28' He likes order, harmony, method and balance. He can undertake long-term medical or scientific studies. Weaknesses: he is intransigent, stubborn. Misuse of medicines, or asking for too much medicine. Saturn in XII He likes quiet and solitude above everything. He looks for work (or can work) alone, without being bothered. He hates chatting, outside noises. Uranus Scorpio 19°29' Uranus in II He has a lot of flair. He is unreliable at work, always ready for change. He must have an out-of-the-ordinary job, in which case all goes well: otherwise, he will often change jobs and will have financial problems. Neptune Neptune represents transcendental liberty, non-egoistic liberty. Sagittarius 18°17' Likes long voyages, things foreign, water. Neptune in III He has a lot of imagination, high ideals. He is nostalgic. Dry, cold facts are hard for him to absorb, so traditional academics might not appeal. Pluto Pluto represents transformations, mutations and elimination. Libra 19°15' Looks for new ways to relate to others. Lilith Virgo 10°49' Asc node Virgo 7°32' Placidus Orb : 0 Ascendant House I is the area of self identity. The ascendant is a symbol of how one acts in life. It is the image of the personality as seen by others, and the attitude that one has towards life. Libra 12°29' Everybody seems to like Libra Ascendant natives. They just come across as nice, pleasant, and fair. Look a little closer at their lives, and these nice people may have had quite a few problems in their relationships. Some of them have had a string of relationships, and it can be hard to imagine why! These natives attract others to them effortlessly. Besides, they simply don't know what to do with themselves without a significant other. Libra rising generally appear to be smoothing everything over. They have charming smiles, a gentle approach with others, and an easygoing image. Even if they were not endowed with good looks, they are attractive. Most pay a lot of attention to their personal appearance -- the colors they wear, their hair, the way they walk. Libra rising people can be enormously persuasive, although they will almost always use a "soft sell" approach when they want to win others over, which is all of the time! A tendency to pass the buck and keep up that "nice guy/gal" image are their worst qualities. However, they can make excellent mediators and will generally be the first to accommodate you. Libra rising natives are usually attracted to competent, active partners. Their relationships are often characterized by bickering or competitiveness until they learn to drop their sweet image once in a while and to stop blaming their partners for everything that goes wrong. II House II is the area of material security and values. It rules money and personal finances, sense of self-worth and basic values, personal possessions. Scorpio 10°54' Financial success may come through handling other people's money and resources or thanks to an inheritance. Financial ups and downs are very possible, but in later life, finances can be substantial. Private about revealing his worth. III House III is the area of social and intellectual learning. Sagittarius 11°25' He will study for a long time, will be erudite. Very intelligent, an open and independent spirit, will have a connection with foreign countries. Fertile intelligence. IV House IV is the area of home, family, roots, and deep emotions/sense of self-worth. Capricorn 13°08' After working all his life to obtain his objectives and finally having reached that goal, he wants to retire in peace and quiet and to have a retirement full of contemplation, with few tasks, close to nature. As he was very careful with money all his life, he will administer the properties he has acquired. V House V is the area of creative self-expression, romance, entertainment, children, and gambling. Aquarius 14°58' Doesn't like routine and the banal. He is romantic, full of fantasy and imagination. He is also a friend one can count on. VI House VI is the area of learning by material transaction. Pisces 15°17' Job in commerce. Weak point: the kidneys. VII House VII is the area of one-to-one relationships such as marriage and partnership, and of social and intellectual action. Aries 12°29' Love-at-first-sight, marries without thinking. Doesn't want to change his habits, so domestic quarrels to be foreseen. VIII House VIII is the area of emotional security and of security of the soul. Taurus 10°54' Happy old age, natural death. Inheritance. IX House IX is the area of learning that shapes the identity. Gemini 11°25' Likes studying, is open to anything new, accepts and recognizes his errors, always develops in a positive sense. Likes travel, discovery, meeting new people and knows how to appreciate them. Midheaven House X is the area of material action. The Mid-heaven represents the work one will do in his life, the place one will take in the world of society. It becomes more important as one grows older Cancer 13°08' Likes contact with the public, the crowd. Profession that involves meeting a lot of people. Professional success thanks to sense of duty and application to his work. XI House XI is the area of search for social and intellectual security. Leo 14°58' Friends are not always chosen by chance. Even if the feelings of friendship are sincere, these friends must automatically bring something - professional help for example. XII House XII is the area of education and of emotion. Virgo 15°17' Work in a research lab. Planet Aspect Planet Orb Orb Value Sun Sextile Neptune 2°51' 52 There is an unmistakably dreamy, inspired, and sensitive side to you. A marked appreciation for music and the arts is present. The connection of Neptune with the Sun, which represents the ego and the will, certainly softens some of the hard edges that might be found elsewhere in the chart, adding a sensitive and spiritual dimension to your personality. You are naturally compassionate. It is so completely natural for you to accept that there is more to the world than what is before your eyes, that you tend to presume everyone must be spiritually-inclined. Of course, you come to realize that this is not the case at some early point in your life. Your attraction to spirituality and metaphysical subjects is usually marked. These aspects favor writers, artists, and musicians. You are sensitive to those who are suffering, although you are not usually taken advantage of. You are humanitarian and may have a special connection with animals. If other aspects and positions in the chart support it, you are not one to dominate others or assert yourself to the point of brashness. You have a fertile imagination, are full of inspiration, and very emotional - all qualities that you may use on the professional level. Sun Conjunction Pluto 1°54' 178 You have much sexual vitality and passion. It is easy and natural for you to find a passion and pursue it, and to focus on a goal. You are not much scared of anything. You enjoy and embrace growth, especially of the psychological kind. You love a good mystery, and you are adept at solving it.You readily assign meaning to what others might consider "ordinary" events. You look for symbols, and read between the lines in most any situation. The physical vitality is generally strong, and the body is usually able to heal quickly. You are not afraid to get your hands dirty, and you are usually quick to help others--not only with mundane tasks, but also on a spiritual or psychological level. Your insight is sharp and sometimes awe-inspiring. You are perceptive and not easily rattled or surprised in life. You are not a do-gooder nor are you a law-breaker. However, you are not afraid of the "dark side" of human nature, and you will bend the rules from time to time if you feel the need to do so. You take particular pleasure in growth and life's lessons. You are not fond of superficiality, and are generally the first to spot pretense of any kind. You are passionate and can be intense. You have a hunger to experience more than just an "ordinary" life, and you can be quite ambitious. Some people with this aspect are perfectionists, demanding much from themselves and reasonable amounts of effort and honesty from others. Sun Conjunction Ascendant 8°39' 27 It is easy and natural for you to be received well by others. There is a distinct air of authority and magnanimity surrounding you. The authority you project generally doesn't offend others, generally because sincerity is sensed at the same time. Most people would describe you as natural, easy to like, and friendly. You may have a marked interest in the performing arts and/or sports and games, both as a spectator and participant. This is an especially favorable aspect to have for those who are in the public eye. Moon Square Mercury 3°58' -58 There is a conflict here between the head and the heart. Your emotions tell you one thing and your mind tells you something else. The result is a see-saw effect: you can be emotional to the point of irrationality at one moment, and logical the next. How to blend the head and the heart is a constant struggle for you, usually because you have a tendency to resist blending them! You love to chat, enjoy story-telling and writing/poetry, sometimes enjoy bending the truth, and you possess a sparkling wit! You are animated when you speak, and have a sense of humor that others appreciate simply because it's very imaginative. You may be especially adept at satire. People can usually read your mood by how much you're talking. When nervous or excitable, you talk up a storm. Moodiness is a characteristic, definitely, and an especially subjective nature makes you prone to hypersensitivity. It usually has to do with the fact that you take in so very much from your environment. This is also one of the reasons why you tend to be indecisive.
