"The easiest kind of relationship for me is with ten thousand people. The hardest is with one."

"I was right 40 years ago, and I'm right now."

"Instead of getting hard ourselves and trying to compete, women should try and give their best qualities to men: bring them softness, teach them how to cry."

"I've never had a humble opinion. If you've got an opinion, why be humble about it?"

"If we don't sit down and shut up once in a while we'll lose our minds even earlier than we had expected. Noise is an imposition on sanity, and we live in very noisy times."

This combination results in a rather well-integrated individual. You are studious and prone to introspection. However, you usually discuss your thoughts with others. The most suitable occupations for you would be in travel or some sort of intellectual work. Your thinking processes are logical and well organized, but your mind, though methodical, is not necessarily profound. In love you are expressive, but not intense in feeling. You remain loyal, for it is in your nature to please and serve. The key to a more harmonious existence lies in allowing your individuality to fulfill its function of conserving, concentrating, and using energy forcefully.

Ascendant in Aries, Mars in the Eighth House

At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Aries was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler Mars is located in the eighth house.

Aries is the first sign of the zodiacal belt and its natives seem also desirous of being "first" in all activities with which they happen to be involved. The cardinality of the sign makes you extremely active and capable of displaying ambition, impulsiveness, courage, and boldness in order to satisfy your desire for prominence in the world.

The general course of your life will be filled with many 'ups' and 'downs' and changes conforming very much with the psychological nature of your temperament. Whether you triumph or not in life depends on your ability to develop your most positive inborn qualities and, simultaneously, exert some control over your less favorable characteristics, such as a lack of prudence, and a certain disregard for the feelings and opinions of others.

Aries gives a tendency for its natives to be inclined to politics and public work. You should be successful (or at least attempt to be so) in any work or activity that necessitates pioneering ideas and/or a militant disposition. You also appear to have an ardent attitude in any project that somehow or another involves new concepts or original work and in which you are given a position of leadership. One of your problems is that in your love for achievement in novel projects you tend to destroy old concepts and former contributions which would, perhaps, have been useful for your endeavors. Impulsive, critical, despising mean or dubious acts, you will create many excellent friendships but also important enemies. Your life is rich in passion and ardent love. In sexual matters you are quick, aggressive, and to the point. You also are a lover of pleasures, which you feel with a bright, open, and sparkling character.

Mars, the ruler of your life events, is found located in the eighth house. Mars in the eighth house gives, among other things, a valiant and positive attitude towards death. The native is concerned about the termination of life but is not afraid of it. On more material grounds, Mars in this house denotes the possibility of the partner spending much hard earned wealth of the native in a slightly eccentric fashion.
