The sun is the first dominant in Jack Anderson’s astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

As the heart of the solar system and the gravitational center of the travels of the earth and the other planets, the sun is the primordial light, the source of all warmth and life. From the dawn of humanity, it has been worshipped. It has symbolized the absolute power kings and despots yearn for and emulate. The sun king, the nucleus of society, embodied a principle of cohesion and harmony.

Various subordinates—aka planets—revolved around it. In terms of psychological symbolism, the sun corresponds to the center of an individual, the factor that rules your psyche. Its luminous aspects are usually associated with knowledge and consciousness. As a creator of life, it is related to the image of the mother and the influence of motherhood on an individual’s consciousness and ideals. As a result, the sun’s position in a birth chart always indicates the way in which an individual will relate to your goals and ideals, what your ambitions and aspirations might involve.

A person whose chart is strongly “solar” usually identifies very positively with motherhood. Jack Anderson’s personality is friendly, energetic, and creative, with high ideals and a firm determination to accomplish them. Jack takes his own superiority and authority over others for granted, and has a natural ability to command the attention and admiration of an audience. Jack is a born leader who enjoys being in the limelight and may behave somewhat theatrically or with dramatic exaggeration.

Jack has definite artistic leanings. The sense of Jack’s ideals is evident to him and may lead him to be somewhat self-focused. If ill-directed, Jack’s deep aspirations may lead to such faults as egotism, selfishness, or greediness for power.

The moon is the second dominant in Jack Anderson’s astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

As the second light of the solar system, the moon has always been associated with the sun in the minds of men. The moon and sun are the primordial cosmic couple. This satellite of the earth, which mysteriously waxes and wanes, has been compared to the eternal feminine principle, the mother hovering over Jack Anderson’s infant’s cradle. Psychologically, the moon is thus symbolic of the mother and the mother image. This figure is a primordial element in the psyche of each individual. Depending on Jack Anderson’s nature, the mother figure may correspond to Jack Anderson’s biological mother, a grandmother, or a woman who cared for Jack Anderson in infancy and childhood.

When Jack Anderson reaches adulthood, this mother-figure and all the emotions and bonds associated with Jack Anderson may be transferred to something else: a spouse, a companion, an institution, a church, corporation, or political movement, a cult, etc. In short, any individual or structure likely to take on the mother’s duty of caring for and nurturing the vulnerable aspects of an individual.

To be more down-to-earth, the mother figure corresponds to the habits which were learned and then definitively incorporated into Jack Anderson’s identity as Jack Anderson gradually became acculturated and progressed toward social independence. As a result, a strongly “lunar” personality often finds it difficult to adapt and is uncomfortable outside the secure setting of familiar routines.

Closely tied to Jack Anderson’s past, Jack Anderson may be unwilling to detach himself from it and embark on Jack Anderson’s life as an individual in the here and now. Jack Anderson still identifies somewhat with Jack Anderson’s inner child and may display a child’s capricious behavior, indulging in moodiness and indecision. Jack Anderson’s passivity may make Jack Anderson easily influenced, Jack Anderson’s sensitivity makes Jack Anderson subjective, and Jack Anderson hesitates to open up and lay Jack Anderson’s soul bare. In Jack Anderson’s daily life, psychic activity will rule. Jack Anderson’s imagination, memory, sensitivity, sensation, and sentiment nearly overwhelm Jack Anderson’s psyche.

Venus is the third dominant in Jack Anderson’s astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

In traditional astrology, Venus (or Aphrodite, her Greek name) is the planet of love. A source of universal attraction, this planet corresponds to the original urge which bonds two human beings together in love. Venus is thus both the magnetism which brings human beings together (not lust, which is symbolized by Mars, but the object which attracts lust) and the gift of love. This ambiguity is interpreted astrologically by the fact that Venus rules two houses of the zodiac. In Taurus, Venus symbolizes the awakening to bodily lust, and in Libra, the bond of marriage. As a result, Venus may take on very different aspects depending on the individual’s degree of awareness.

Likewise, this ambiguity explains Aphrodite’s equivocal conduct in Greek myth and her innumerable couplings and motherhood. Depending on the legend, she may embody brutal, passionate love (with Anteros), the wisdom of the heart which rescues from passion (Harmonia); she also becomes tenderness and purity (with Adonis), pure sexuality (with Eros), a transforming energy (with Vulcan), etc. Mistress of the Arts, she represents beauty, understanding, and peace.

Psychologically, individuals under the influence of Venus are struggling with their love instincts. This is why Jack Anderson cannot conceive of living without a personal emotional relationship to someone else and sometimes fears solitude and the encounter with himself. Jack is extremely attractive to others and is a creator and artistic genius who seems to imbue all he touches with beauty and harmony. His artistic skills are obvious to the people around him and may be applied to career endeavors.

Pleasure, outings, seduction, love, and a thriving but sometimes superficial social life are the hallmarks of Jack’s life.

The seventh house is an area of the sky which is especially important in Jack Anderson’s theme. In the following paragraph, we shall explain the general meaning of this fact.

According to astrological tradition, the seventh house is related to marriage, contracts, social life, and worldly matters. It can be read for indications about a future marriage partner (the first), and business partners, your “objective allies” as well as your enemies.

Diametrically opposed to the Ascendant, the Descendant (the doorway into the seventh house) symbolizes everything that complements Jack or opposes him. This house thus represents the encounter with the other world, the non-ego. By extension, it embodies all the experiences which result from this encounter: interpersonal relationships, partnerships, marriage, rivalry, contracts, and conflicts, etc.

When this area is especially significant, it indicates that a great deal of Jack’s energy will be invested in the domain of relationships. Bonds, contracts, partnerships, and perhaps the disputes and conflicts which may arise from them will be prominent aspects of his success. However, Jack will evolve fastest and learn most from friendships and partnerships. He will have to learn to be objective.

His goal will be to master the interdependency of his relationships, and go beyond a tender and dutiful reciprocity to a truly beneficial mutual exchange and sharing.

By making a distinction between love (the fifth house) and marriage (the seventh house), traditional astrology shows us the difference between the projection of narcissistic self-love (simple self-expression) and the objective encounter with the other on a truly egalitarian basis. To reach the seventh house from the fifth, it is necessary to travel through the sixth: a reorientation of personal energies.

The fourth house is an area of the sky which is especially important in Jack Anderson’s theme. In the following paragraph, we shall explain the general meaning of this fact.
