This file contains standing notes on the ACA feature of the astrology
software Astrolog for OS/2 version 2. ACA stands for automatic (or
advanced) chart analysis and has been a useful feature since version 2
technological preview 21 and broadly accurate since technological
preview 80. As of 2012 and TP81, the analysis is still too lax for
many individual charts and too draconian for many more.

---------------------------------------------------
DISCLAIMER REGARDING ACCURACY FOR INDIVIDUAL CHARTS
---------------------------------------------------

The initial purpose of the automatic chart analysis feature has been
to test the effectiveness of various astrological factors. For this
reason some implementations may work well for statistical purposes,
but are too simplistic to yield accurate results for all individual
charts. The war factor is one example of a simplified implementation:
It can seriously underestimate the effect of multi-party wars under
some circumstances (only the brightest planet in a sign is considered
a possible enemy). Dispositor chaining is another factor that can be
implemented in different ways with sometimes very different outcomes
for individual charts. Currently, a very weak dispositor chain may
result in very low benevolence, regardless of the first dispositor's
dignity. Finally, different user-settings for the relative influences
of the various planets can impact some charts greatly.

-------------
USER ADVISORY
-------------

The automatic chart analysis feature is not intended to replace human
interpretation. It has been designed to be an objective complement to
a complete and much more detailed analysis by a Priest or similarly
qualified person. In addition, this particular software is still in
its earliest design stage. The ACA feature should continue to see very
signifcant changes - perhaps even in the very next update. At this
stage the feature only considers essential indications (independent of
geographic location), revealing essential character traits rather than
traits based on temporal circumstances, and does not include the just
as important accidental indications (based on the exact time and place
of birth), such as the Ascendant, revealing immediate experiences and
opportunities in this life. Besides this limitation, the feature does
not yet make sometimes important distinctions, such as separating
extrovert and introvert polarities. However, if you want to find an
especially qualified Priest/Astrologer, the software can help you out
by fairly accurately gauging the essential indications present in
their chart with regard to overall integrity, as well as more specific
strengths and weaknesses. If you find that the result of the essential
analysis is satisfactory, for example showing above average overall
integrity and a promising Saturn, you may proceed to check if one or
more of the following accidental indications are present as well:
Saturn, Uranus, a Full Moon or the ruler of the First house in the
First house (tropical zodiac, sidereal houses). If they are not, the
person is unlikely to have astrology as a primary or even secondary
calling in life. Ideally, a qualified person may also have the
Sidereal Ascendant in Aquarius (best), Libra, or Gemini.

-------------------
DISPOSITOR ANALYSIS
-------------------

Dispositor analysis is a text listing of the objects capable of
receiving influence from other objects. It is available from TP54
onward and has the following layout since TP80. Below the basic
absolute numbers for total, dignified and disgraced influence, there
are six tables. On the first row you find "Dignity", "Esteem" and
"Disgrace". In the first table some dignified influence and no
disgraced yields 100% dignity. The second table shows dignified
influence divided by ideal influence. The third table presents
disgraced influence divided by a value close to but always less than
ideal influence. The ideal influence for a dispositor is based on the
innate influence set for the planet plus the influence of any other
planets it lords over. For the Sun the ideal influence amounts to the
innate influence of the Sun plus that of the Moon. It also includes
some or all of the influence of the Solar Moon (depending on its
nature), a special object sharing its placement with the normal Moon
object, but with characteristics based on the sign aspect cast by the
Sun. The Solar Moon is by default the most influential object, but if
either the Sun or the normal Moon is assigned zero influence then the
Solar Moon is assigned zero influence as well. On the second and last
row you find "Balance", "Benevolence" and "Malevolence". Balance is
total influence divided by a weighted mean of ideal influence and full
disgrace. If dignity is 100% the weighted mean equals ideal influence,
if dignity is 0% it equals full disgrace. Benevolence and Malevolence
are the same as Esteem and Disgrace, but expressed relative to the
planet's Balance for balance values exceeding 100%, as a result the
Benevolence and Malevolence values can never exceed 100%. The bottom
line averages are weighted means. For the Benevolence average, a
planet's weight increases with the dignity of its associated sankhya
yoga, for the Malevolence average, it decreases. Thus the Sun
contributes the least to the Benevolence average and Saturn the least
to the Malevolence average. The weight assigned Mercury is exactly
the same in both averages.

To the right of the percentages there may be signs indicating
especially noteworthy values. Stars highlight values pointing to
benevolent abilities and strengths, minuses show deficiencies, plusses
excesses, and exclamation marks malevolent character traits to be
watched extra carefully. There can be one to four instances of each
sign, with one indicating the lowest magnitude and four the highest.

  *    = promising              !    = ominous
  **   = good                   !!   = malignant
  ***  = very good              !!!  = severely malignant
  **** = excellent              !!!! = extremely malignant

  +    = excessive              -    = lacking
  ++   = clearly excessive      --   = clearly insufficient
  +++  = severely excessive     ---  = severely insufficient
  ++++ = extremely excessive    ---- = extremely insufficient

The specific interpretation depends on the planet. For the Sun, stars
indicate authenticity, material control/dignity, beneficial publicity,
faith, good fortune, productivity, dignified privacy, balance, and a
well-functioning brain, etc. Exclamation marks can reveal diabolic and
childish behavior, along with gullibility, selfishness, greed, bad
temper, crankiness, a lot of talk and arrogance, addiction, melancholy
and depression. When found under benevolence, plus signs can show too
much of a good thing, such as too much publicity, too much power, too
much fun, or being too rich. Minus signs for the Sun reveal lack of
material fortune and deficiencies of the brain. There is less fun and
enjoyment in life and most obviously less public and private dignity,
little or no bravery, or lack of prudence. So long as its dignity
exceeds 50%, an insufficient Sun can be interpreted as merely a weak
sense of self, but there can also be more severe issues, such as
mental insufficiencies, brain injuries and illnesses, including severe
mood swings, Alzheimer's or Parkinson's diseases, as well as ALS.
  A short summary with keywords for all six dispositor planets can be
found below. For the first three categories, roughly between a third
and two thirds of the keywords should apply to any particular chart
with stars, exclamation points or plusses. Many keywords only apply to
one of the two signs ruled by the planet, and thus if one of them is
not emphasized in the chart, its particular keywords will clearly miss
the mark. A few of the keywords, usually listed last in the category,
only apply in extreme cases. More keywords can be found in the program
through Help/Meanings. For each sign, the first seven or so keywords
apply to the star category. The last keywords before the final comma
apply to the malignant category. The minus lists apply to both lack of
balance and benevolence. For a sole lack of benevolence, the relevance
of the minus lists increases if there are exclamation marks next to
the planet's opposite. Some of the minus list assertions are only
relevant to a lack of balance, not benevolence alone. All of the
keywords in the minus lists are applicable to results indicating
extremely insufficient balance.

The first two tables on each row never show any exclamation marks, as
there is never anything ominous about their values. Conversely, the
last table on each row never shows any stars, as its values are never
promising. Instead dots are used to indicate safe values. A single dot
indicates a possibly safe value, two dots a usually safe value, three
dots a very safe value and four dots shows there is extremely little
or exactly nothing to worry about with regard to that particular
planet. In general, the actual safety of a planet showing something
other than a perfectly safe value (three or fewer dots) also depends
on the benevolence of its opposite planet. A possibly safe value for a
specific planet is only safe if average benevolence is not lacking and
the planet's opposite has more than sufficient benevolence. A possibly
safe overall value is only safe if the average benevolence is not
lacking. For a specific planet, only completely safe values can be
considered safe, if either the benevolence of its planet opposite or
the overall benevolence is severely or extremely insufficient.

      = possibly safe         (!    = ominous)
     = usually safe          (!!   = malignant)
    = very safe             (!!!  = severely malignant)
   = safe                  (!!!! = extremely malignant)

Similarities between Planets of Similar Evolutionary Development
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are similarities between the first three planets, and also
between the last three. These similarities are no coincidence, but due
to the fact that the first three planets are inferior and the last
three are superior (opposite the inferior). When strong, the inferior
planets show speed of learning and ability to assert oneself. They
are braver, more courageous, bolder, more genuine and honest than the
superior planets, but also less experienced, less secure, less
tolerant, more timid, more selfish, more against things and more prone
to fault-finding - one of them, Mercury, can even find faults when
there are no faults to be found. When introverted, they show potential
for violence, killing and aggression. At their worst, the inferior
planets can support psychopathic, demonic and diabolic personalities.
The superior planets reveal greater awareness, consideration and
understanding. They are older, smarter, healthier and less prejudiced,
but also less honest, less faithful, less rich, and inclined to envy,
cowardice and victimization, as well as self-approval - in the case of
Jupiter, there can be assumption of insight or being right without any
evidence or even a hint to that effect. When introverted, they show
potential for narcissism, perversion, bullying and distress. At their
worst, the superior planets support "above-the-law", deceitful,
domineering, oppressive and faithless personalities.
  People with severe disorders of inferiority, shown as inferior
disgrace exceeding chart integrity, including psychopaths, serial
killers and genuine alcoholics should always have one or more
exclamation marks next to one of the inferior planets. People with
disorders of superiority, such as crooks, fraudsters and perverts,
should have one or more exclamation marks next to one of the superior
planets. More specifically, for a rapist the mark should be next to
Mercury and for a crook (a dishonest, unsympathetic, not so clever,
but usually non-violent offender) next to Jupiter. The requirement is
lessened only if overall benevolence is insufficient or overall
malevolence is ominous or worse. In this case it is enough that the
specific malevolence value is unsafe (no dots).
  For dictators, the inferiority/superiority distribution tends to
follow ideological lines with fascists, such as Mussolini and his even
more infamous follower, Hitler, emphasizing inferiority, and marxists
and socialists, such as Lenin and Stalin, stressing superiority. To
recapitulate, inferiority complexes are associated with the inferior
planets and are thus indicated by exclamation points next to the Sun,
Mars and Mercury; superiority complexes are associated with the
superior planets and are thus revealed by exclamation points next to
Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. Capitalism requires significant inferior
disgrace and socialism significant superior disgrace. Both require
lack of faith and humility. Most people are neither capitalists nor
socialists. Some de facto capitalists advocate socialism for everyone
else. The analysis results for these people's charts show exclamation
marks next to both inferior and superior planets.

Similarities between Opposite Planets
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are also similarities between opposites: Both Mercury and
Jupiter are mutable planets. While Mercury rules honesty and verbal
communication (voice, spelling and grammar), Jupiter rules Truth and
language (tone, sense and logic). It is easy to see that you need both
to be a truly truthful person and a fluent speaker of any language.
Barack Obama, derided as the teleprompter President, has a strong and
clearly favorable Mercury, but a weak and insufficient Jupiter. He
should be youthful and easier to talk to than most people, but also
short on vision, truth and fluency of expression. His sense of humor
is lacking and he is more likely to follow the advice of others than
to take the lead himself. More importantly, his direct involvement in
unlawful killings and, to quote the New York Times, "lethal action
without hand-wringing", reveals a clearly deficient moral sense (the
Benevolence table shows severely insufficient influence for Jupiter).
Barack Obama is against prosecuting those responsible for torture
under the George W. Bush administration, and he has appointed John O.
Brennan, a torture supporter, as his chief counterterrorism advisor.
In addition to greatly increasing the number of lethal drone strikes
the US government carries out around the world (on average killing
more civilians, including women and children, than alleged terrorists
or militants), Barack Obama also supports partial birth and sex-
selection abortion and opposes protection for babies who are born
alive as a result of induced abortion. According to Israel's oldest
daily newspaper, the Haaretz, Obama cast his first veto in the UNSC
against the settlement resolution: "And Israel, an international
pariah, once again found itself supported only by America." The
horoscope governing the United States of America (4 Jul 1776 18:30
UTC-5) shows an even weaker Jupiter. The US government in general and
the current President in particular fail to see what most of the rest
of the World sees clearly: The President and his advisors, blind to
all things true, moral and humorous, are headed for Hell. Jupiter is
the planet of vision. When Jupiter is weak, so is the vision as well.
A large part of the US foreign policy is dictated by a tiny state in
the Middle East and its most extreme political party, the Likud, and
above all the most extreme members of that party. Another side of the
harbinger of joy is competition. The extreme lack of benevolence
associated with Jupiter in the natal horoscope of the United States
reveals a lack of competitiveness. The emphasis on Cancer in the chart
shows greed as one of the Nation's strongest driving forces. Since the
US is unlikely to come out a winner in competition, it sees a need to
cleverly persuade other countries to relinquish their resources, or if
that fails, due to a lack of corruption in a particular country, to
invade and put in place more cooperative or at least more easily
manipulated governments using military force. The weakness of Jupiter
also supports the isolation of the US government in world affairs and
its steadily increasing unpopularity around the globe. Many of its own
citizens have become more than a little disenchanted as well. The
corrupt US government allows banksters and other kleptcrats free reign
to plunge more and more people into economic and social misery. A weak
Jupiter signifies a weak leader, and a weak leader means a lack of
prosperity. The planet of money, Mercury, is in the horoscope of the
US much stronger than Jupiter. It carries more than sufficient
benevolence, but Mercury is no substitute for Jupiter: The US is said
to have "the best government money can buy", but it is at best
difficult to buy a good government. What you are most likely to get is
an amoral government that supports immorality in the private sector
and easily turns immoral itself. Without morality there can be no joy
and with immorality there can only be a rock-bottom low. As a unit,
the weak Jupiter and the strong Mercury clearly points to the
immorality and inconsistency we have seen from the US polity in both
foreign and domestic matters. It also explains the antisocial actions
taken by mainstream media to encourage moral relativism, general
stupidity, secularism, islamophobia, homosexuality, racism, attacks on
or even invasions of other countries, and to disrupt peace, protect
criminals and discourage understanding, justice, religion, health,
truth, competition, growth and prosperity. A current example of the
unpopularity and senselessness of the US foreign policy is an official
expectation of peace with muslims, while supporting the Zionist state
of Israel, or directly interfering in, invading and occupying their
countries, and even killing people of both foreign and US citizenship
with impunity using CIA-operated drones, of course in blatant
violation of both International and US law, although the latter has
been defended by the infamous US Minister of Injustice, Mr Eric
Holder, saying that the requirement for "due process" is satisfied by
the executive branch of government weighing the evidence and having
the President decide whom to kill or not. Two examples of the
anti-truth drive in the US government are the protection of people
producing offensive propaganda films and the incarceration and
pre-trial judgement of a US Army soldier accused of exposing war
crimes in Iraq. A rational government imprisons war criminals, not
those who expose them. Note: The scarce morality in the President's
chart would have been even more obvious had it not been for the
superior sankhya yoga: Dama yoga adds experience and at best a strong
sense of justice and ethics. It always boosts the IQ, tact and
diplomacy. In the chart for the US government there is no superior
sankhya yoga and the lack of morality, truth and prosperity is thus
even more glaring. The US is not keen on competition and tries its
best to eliminate any competition as quickly as possible. Since it
lacks experience as well as humility, it usually fails - even if it
did have experience, it would still fail to defeat more religious
people and countries. Domestically, big corporations and well-known
banksters, such as Jamie Dimon and Robert Rubin, avoid competition
through the corruption of the US Congress. In August 2012, a Gallup
poll reported that Congress's approval rating among US citizens was
at 10%, matching a 38 year low reached in November 2011.
  Both Mars and Venus are military planets. To be a high-ranking
military of good repute, both planets need to be strong. General David
Petraeus, the newly resigned director of the CIA and former US army
soldier, has more than one star next to both of these planets in the
Benevolence table. According to Wikipedia, he was the top graduate of
the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College in 1983. He served in
Iraq, 2003-2008, and then as a Four Star General in Afghanistan, 2007-
2011. In 2011, he was unanimously confirmed as the next Director of
the CIA by the US Senate. Mars represents needs and promotes loyalty,
friendship and marriage; Venus glows with capacity to father, disarm,
listen and love. At its best, Mars protects the defenceless; Venus
stands up for justice and spreads peace. Mars is vigilant and takes on
conflict quickly; Venus employs patience or brute force. If a person
does not have both, he or she will lose in battle, either right away
or down the line. The overall integrity of the General's birth chart,
assuming a noon birth, falls in the Blue category, but it should be
noted that the Sun in Scorpio and Venus in Sagittarius are better fits
for a woman than a man (he could probably make a better detective or
spook than a military man). The time of birth is not known to me, but
regardless of time, the chart integrity never falls below YellowGreen,
unless the Moon was exactly cusped at around 19:00, in which case it
could possibly fall into the Yellow. Even at that abysmal time, there
are still two stars next to both Mars and Venus. The only insufficient
planet is Mercury, it is obviously possible to be more open, decent
and idealistic. The most malevolent and possibly malignant planet is
Jupiter, a hint at the personal recklessness which caused him to
resign.
  The Sun and Saturn are very different planets, but they too have
similarities. They both represent the top. The Sun manifests the
visible, material and public top and Saturn the much harder to see
spiritual and universal top. To be really at top you need both planets
to be strong. The Sun reveals public dignity and ability to direct
oneself and others, it comes with faith in oneself and others; Saturn
is necessary for leadership and authority, to have the knowledge and
awareness required and an interest in the welfare of society as a
whole. A person with exclamation points next to one or both of these
planets in the Malevolence table is unlikely to enjoy a low position
for long. The governments of the UK and the US are perfect exponents
of the innately anti-democratic tendencies of these planets when they
are malignant. Stars next to both of these planets in the Benevolence
table show true top potential. These people are the ones most likely
to stand out in any group of men or women. Their top qualities are
unquestionable.

Similarities between Planets of the Same Elements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A final grouping of the planets is by element. The Sun, Mars and
Jupiter are all material, subjective and emotion-oriented planets.
Their complementary elements are Fire and Water, with one domicile
sign belonging to the former and the other to the latter. They promote
enthusiasm, sentimentality, passion and emotions of joy and sorrow.
Mercury, Venus and Saturn are all abstract, objective and idea-
oriented planets. Their complementary elements are Air and Earth. They
promote idealism, speech, singing and listening, not just talk but
lucid communication. When introverted, they are capable of receiving
sex, love and knowledge. To be a great singer Venus has to be strong
and extroverted. The first group includes all the planets which lack
strong verbal and listening skills. The second group includes all the
planets which lack sentimentality, ecstasy and power. The two highest
planets incline people to spirituality and universality and reveal
capacity to either transcend the material illusion and enter samadhi
or already dwell there. Saturn comes with Grace and full satisfaction.
The first group of planets is necessary for empathy and intimacy, as
well as for sympathetic thinking and emotional comforting in the here
and now. The second is required for everlasting happiness, peace and
detachment. While Fire and Water are infinitely close to each other,
the latter is usually considered the most subjective. Of Earth and
Air, the latter is the most objective. The former is the most inert of
all the elements. Fire and Air are both hot elements. They stir the
cold elements into action.

Sexual Sides of the Planets
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All planets rule or lord two signs, one odd and another even. There
are significant differences between odd and even signs. Depending on
the physical gender of a person, a planet is fully at home in one and
only one of the two signs. For a man, the Sun is fully at home in Leo,
the Moon in Cancer, Mars in Scorpio, Mercury in Virgo, Jupiter in
Sagittarius, Venus in Libra and Saturn in Aquarius. For a woman the
planets are fully at home in the signs complementing those for a man:
Cancer, Leo, Aries, Gemini, Pisces, Taurus and Capricorn. Later on
this text refers to the signs listed for a man as primary. The sexual
leaning of a planet (e.g., Leo/Cancer) is called its polarity. In the
software, a planet with a polarity not matching the physical gender of
the person is said to be polarized. The degree of polarization in a
chart can to some extent be gauged by looking at the "Polarized"
diagnostic, but its value is often misleading. One reason for this is
that it only considers polarity by sign and not conjunction. Another
reason is that not all placements can be judged as 100% manly or
womanly. A third and final reason is that not all placements carry the
same weight in all charts. Any polarization of the sankhya yoga ruler
or the atmakaraka is always more important than any polarization of
other planets, with the possible of exception of the Solar Moon.
Unfortunately, neither the listing of final dispositors nor the
underlying variables differentiate between odd and even polarity at
this time. Since in most cases charts have planets with mixed gender
biases, this shortcoming usually makes little or no difference in
practice. Nonetheless, polarity is still important in a lot of cases.
For example, Venus in Libra defines the ideal father (smart, patient,
attractive, confident, warm, cordial, just, loving and secure) and
Venus in Taurus the ideal mother (cute, stable, genial, competent,
tactful, social, ethical, lusting and happy).
  For gender identity and sexual preferences, polarity becomes all-
important. Planets placed in their own signs have very clear gender
identity, while other placements might be neutral. It is important to
point out that a gender identity at odds with the physical body does
not automatically make a person a homophile or transvestite, but it
certainly increases the likelihood. Many, if not indeed the majority,
of homophiles have suffered sexual abuse as children or have other
causes for arrested development. A minority may have no significant
disorder - other than sexual or gender. Although the probability of
having a chart whose analysis satisfies the signatures for some of the
disorders mentioned in the following sections is great, most people
probably do, I have so far never come across a chart for any homophile
without a malignancy or an insufficiency of some sort. The vast
majority, if not indeed all, also show some significant gender bias
opposite that of the physical body. In the rare cases where there is
little or no malignancy in the chart, this gender bias is even more
clear. For homosexuality, my initial idea was that gender bias could
be the sole issue, but having learned a lot more in recent years, I am
now more inclined to subscribe to the idea of homosexuality as a
developmental disorder, at least in the majority of the cases. For a
lot of people, homosexuality could be a mental illness, especially in
those cases where homosexual men believe that other men are homosexual
as well. The signature for so called homophobia is the same as for
homosexuality, but usually with a slightly less pronounced gender
bias. The word homophobic is often misused in Western media for people
who disapprove of homosexuality and view it as immoral or irreligious,
a developmental disorder, a mental illness, an excuse for continued
child abuse, a popular fad, or simply nothing to proud of, etc. Such
people do not fit the signature, unless they have traits of homophobia
as well. Although many of the cases of homosexuality may be attributed
to sexual or other abuse in childhood and many other cases would not
lead to adult homosexual relations without some encouragement from the
environment and Western culture in particular, there are cases where
none of these causes apply. Nonetheless, the Sun signs most common
among faggots, Taurus and Libra, are also the most common among people
diagnosed with mental illness and people with learning difficulties
and slower than usual mental development, in old age usually showing
forth as Alzheimer's disease or severe memory issues. In this context,
it might be worth noting that an excess number of males with the Sun
in Taurus who are not practising homosexual relations are instead
sexually harrassing uninterested women or engaging prostitutes. As of
this writing, the most well-known current example of this behavior is
the French socialist Dominique Strauss-Kahn. It is harder to fully
identify all gays, my preferred term for lesbian women, but in the
clear majority of cases their gender bias is exactly opposite that of
faggots, lacking any better or as well established word for homosexual
men. Taurus and Libra are the least common Sun signs among gay women.
On average, both gays and faggots score lower overall chart integrity
than people in general, but there are great individual differences and
the integrity score for a few charts can, as of TP80, fall into the
Green and even Blue categories. When polarization has been fully
implemented, it will be impossible for a highly polarized chart to
score in the Blue or any higher category.
  Most of the disorders described in the sections below require an
even polarity or an introvert gender bias. This is especially true for
autism, depression, addiction and narcissism. If there is an odd
polarity or an extrovert gender bias, the signatures instead match
quarrelsomeness, melancholy, insecureness and hardness. Psychopathy
requires an extrovert gender bias (its introvert counterpart is best
known as madness). In general, planets placed in their primary signs
indicate an extrovert and prominent life, and planets situated in
their secondary signs point to an introvert and active life. For a
malignant planet, an extrovert gender bias results in overt behaviors,
while an introvert gender bias gives rise to covert behaviors.
Depending on the exact sign triggered, overt behavior can involve
being opinionated and dictatorial, touchy and crude, irritable and
provocative, pushful and indecent, restless and flirty, or odd and
rash. Covert behaviors include xenophobia and violence, jealousy and
vengeance, aggression and mocking, avoidance and stealing, lewdness
and anger, quietness and perversion.

Note: The accidental indications are critically important in
determining what gender a dispositor planet will show forth most
readily. Most notably, the Ascendant must indicate an extrovert
persona for extrovert character traits (including disorders of mostly
or entirely extrovert nature). Likewise, the Ascendant must indicate
an introvert persona for introvert character traits. If the Ascendant
does not agree with the gender of the character traits, the influence
of the opposite gender must be insufficient not to overshadow the
sought character traits.

Character Traits
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To judge the potential presence of an ideal character trait, you look
for benevolence of the planet associated with the trait and lack of
malevolence for its opposite. For humility and thinking you would thus
look for strength of Mars, highlighted by one or more stars if its
benevolence is promising or better, and for little, or at least less,
malevolence for Venus. For the presence of a character flaw, you look
for malevolence of the planet associated with the flaw and lack of
benevolence for its opposite. The following sections give signature
examples for a variety of personality traits and character issues.
Note that these signatures represent minimum requirements. If the ACA
result does not meet a signature, then the character trait cannot
manifest itself.

Doctors of Deception, Psychopathy and Mental Illness
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As an example of the above procedure, have a look at your favorite
pseudo-psychiatrists, aka doctors of deception. The character trait
they all have in common is mental disadvantage or mental illness, here
defined as a significant lack of authenticity and restraint, leading
to unhinged or unbalanced behavior, neither calm nor fully present.
Mental illness requires worldliness and is a precursor to physical
disease. Mentally ill people are faithless, thoughtless, envious,
weak, domineering or oppressive. They often suffer a lack of public
dignity and can live their whole lives in denial, without sufficient
regard for facts of life in general and facts about themselves in
particular. They are as far from sharp thinkers as you can possibly
get. Despite (or possibly thanks to) this severe shortcoming they
rarely suffer any sense of inferiority but are instead more likely to
view themselves as superior to other people. They maintain this unreal
estimation of themselves also in the face of overwhelming evidence to
the contrary. As leaders of a country, they can voice the most
outlandish and hilarious opinions on its greatness - no matter how
small it is. If the country is racist and routinely involved in grave
violations of human dignity and even war against civilians, they can
present it as a beacon of democracy and progress. Severely mentally
ill people are unsympathetic and show little or no respect for others.
They frequently lack empathy and can be condescending or patronizing.
Their lack of authenticity and restraint can cause them to lose the
respect of other people as well, also within their own ranks. With an
introvert gender bias, they can become fraudulent bullies and inane
fornicators. Regardless of gender bias, they are unlikely to genuinely
consider the opinions of other people. They also lack intelligence,
tech-savvy, fidelity, sympathy, attention, passion, ecstasy, religion
and analytical skills.
  The primary analysis signature for mental illness starts with a
malignant Venus and continues with less than promising benevolence for
the Sun, which also reduces the benevolence of Mars, which itself must
have less than sufficient benevolence. For all cases of major mental
illness, the benevolence of both the Sun and Mars must be clearly
insufficient or the benevolence of one must be severely insufficient.
People whose chart analyses match this signature are inclined to use
force, either directly or by way of proxy, to get their will through.
Severe mental illness requires a severely malignant Venus. Severe
diseases of the brain, such as ALS, require a malignant Saturn or a
Saturn whose malevolence exceeds the benevolence of the Sun by a
factor seven or greater - they do not require an insufficient Mars or
a malevolent Venus. For less severe cases of mental illness, without
the oppressive and domineering tendencies, it is enough that Venus has
unsafe malevolence, provided that either the Sun or Mars has severely
insufficient benevolence. People whose chart analyses match this
signature and show clearly insufficient balance for the Sun clearly
lack balance, power and beauty. If Mars is the insufficent planet,
they are clearly unintelligent or unthinking. They also lack passion
and self-assertion.
  By design the automatic chart analysis is unlikely to yield a strong
and benevolent Sun, but doctors involved in pseudo-psychiatry easily
beat the average person by consistently having charts which meet the
primary signature for mental illness. Their many personality flaws are
worsened by the Sun's lack of dignity (always below 50 percent). In
plain English, these doctors are up to little or no good and have less
than adequate capacity for authenticity and empathy in their dealings
with other people, not to mention sympathy. At best an insufficient
Sun points to mental deficiency from birth, a poor family background,
poverty in early childhood, or severe brain injuries and strokes later
in life. If the Sun's dignity is greater than 50 percent, the lack of
balance points to victimization early in life, the victimization being
a result of a poor sense of self, or possibly vice versa. In addition
to less than promising benevolence for the Sun and below average
dignity for this planet, all pseudo-psychiatrists have charts with a
malevolent Venus, either directly malignant (shown by two or more
exclamation points) or with unsafe malevolence (indicated by fewer
than two dots) exceeding the mean benevolence of Mars and the Sun with
a clear margin (in almost all cases greater than 100 percent). A
malevolent Venus reveals weakness or stubbornness, or possibly both.
The impoliteness, unfriendliness and lack of restraint of a malevolent
Venus also help increase the likelihood of infamy down the road. By
stark contrast, people critical of pseudo-psychiatry, and other forms
of tyranny as well, are likely to have charts where both the Sun and
Mars are benevolent. Later on I will detail one especially infamous
example of pseudo-psychiatry and then one contrasting and especially
famous example of a critic, but first I will present signatures for a
few more character traits that help describe pseudo-psychiatry and its
practitioners in full. These traits can of course be found in the
general population as well, but rarely to the same degree of
malignancy and never with the same consistency.
  A great number of medical doctors dabbling in psychiatry are
antisocial, some are literally crazy (malignant Cancer influence),
genuine idiots (malignant Scorpio influence), or best described as
psychopaths. Individuals who are clearly beyond the reach of sanity
and prescribe involuntary confinement without sunshine, various forms
of torture, including electric shock or dangerous and proven unhealthy
drug treatments, should have at least one of the inferior planets
malignant. To be severely antisocial and thus have severely deficient
ethics and little or no compassion nor tolerance, the most malevolent
inferior planet must be malignant and the benevolence of Venus (the
planet of IQ, confidence, competence, social skills, love, justice,
lucidity, heart and compassion) must be lacking or insufficient,
unless the inferior planet is severely malignant. The signature for
idiocy, incompetence, insecureness, delusions, wickedness and killing
is a malignant Mars and an insufficient Venus. Considering that more
than a few medical doctors are more likely to kill the patient than
save him, it should come as no surprise that many doctors of medicine
match this signature. The introvert side of Mars, Scorpio, is the one
associated with magic, voodoo, medicine, poison, death, power and
ecstasy. When benevolent, this side of Mars can become loyal, clean,
intelligent and healing, but such perfection should not be expected
from ordinary men - and not even all women (the medical profession is
tailored for a woman, as men are not born to be intelligent). When
malevolent, Scorpio believes things which are so far from sane that
they are clearly seen as insane by most men. These delusions are very
likely dangerous to the health of others. Scorpio is the most timid of
all the Zodiac signs and when frightened she can act automatically,
extremely quickly and without ruth. Scorpio rarely gives necessary
consideration to the validity of the premises on which she bases her
judgement, and she never fully understands the consequences of her
actions. Even under the best of circumstances, this is the sign most
capable of throwing out the child with the bath water. At her worst,
Scorpio reveals pride, hatefulness and injustice. For even more
extreme behavior you have to turn to Cancer, the sign of panic attacks
and extreme violence a la the United States. When it comes to extreme
hypocrisy and all things crazy, you cannot beat Cancer. Her violence
is so extreme and bigoted that even Scorpio calls for restraint.
Cancer lacks knowledge and she appears naively disinterested in doing
much about it, preferring business over invention. The least anti-
social of the three directly violent signs of the Zodiac is Virgo, the
sign of murderers, i.e. people only taking the lives of others when
there is wealth to be gained or sexual satisfaction to be had. Virgo
is by far the most aggressive sign and her ego is as big as she is
small. She most often resorts to verbal aggression and sarcasm to
boost her fragile ego, but she frequently goes a lot further than
that. Virgo is an extreme repeat offender and a precise follower. She
likes things to be modern and everyone to conform. After having read
this far, it ought not come as any surprise to see the sign of Virgo
associated with madness. Sweden, a Virgo country, has the most number
of rapes and murders per capita in the EU. It also has the most number
of medical doctors and the sickest population. According to an
international survey, Sweden is the only country in the world where a
minority of its citizens (only 40 percent) regard religion as
important in life. Far from all Virgos are as extreme as Sweden, but
for a man, a Virgo Sun can almost always lead to weird behavior, this
even when equipped with a lot more talent and confidence than most.
Michael Jackson and Charlie Sheen are perhaps fitting examples. Most
Virgos, but especially females, tend to appear undernourished (even in
the relatively rare cases when they are overweight). Cancer is the
first and most typical sign of arrogance, but Scorpio, with her
multitude of prejudices, wicked tongue and extreme jealousy, and
Virgo, in her most mocking and aggressive mode, are not far behind.
Fortunately, these are all superficial signs, and not even their
arrogance is more than skin-deep. Note that the Sun in Cancer is a
benevolent indication, especially for a woman, and boosts a person's
perception, empathy and intuition. It is also an indication of beauty,
productivity and domestic skills. For the Sun, Scorpio is a highly
dignified placement. A Scorpio Sun is thus a very powerful antidote to
mental illness, including pseudo-psychiatry. Scorpio is the sign of
intelligent research and religion, while the opposite sign, Taurus,
has a tendency for less than sharp analysis, nonsense and plain fraud.
However, the near perfect placement of the Sun in Scorpio is not quite
there, and unlike Taurus, it can expose idiocy from time to time.
  While I at first expected to see a lot more psychopathy in the
charts of pseudo-psychiatrists, there are still quite a few charts
showing genuine soul pathology. Psychopathic people are unable to
understand right from wrong and incapable of experiencing the human
emotions of joy and sorrow. Emotionally as well as academically, they
progress slowly or not at all. Since they lack any sense of morality
they cannot maintain relations with ordinary people. Psychopaths tend
to be social outcasts and quite a few end up in prison, but in some
societies, more tolerant of psychopathy, they run "too-big-to-fail"
banks or other sociopathic institutions. Psychopaths are supposed to
be more common in legislatures, in business and in the medical world
than in the society as a whole. Ironically, while the doctors of
pseudo-psychiatry have invented more than a hundred pseudo-psychiatric
diagnoses in the last century, they still do not include psychopathy
among them. Instead it is a Canadian psychologist called Robert Hare
who has pioneered its use. The word psychopathy literally means soul
disease (psyche = soul, pathos = disease). Astrologically, Jupiter is
the planet of the psyche and thus a weak Jupiter reveals a weak
psyche. For severe psychopathy, Jupiter has to have insufficient
benevolence and the opposite planet, Mercury, has to be malignant, or
alternatively Jupiter has to be severely insufficient. For a plain
lack of conscience, a clearly insufficient Jupiter is enough. Note
that so long as the Sun has sufficient benevolence and the benevolence
of Jupiter is not extremely insufficient, there is enough hope for
even the most limited, or least perfect, conscience to grow and
mature. The analysis signature for less severe psychopathy (having
greater intellectual capacity than the one described above) has an
ominous or worse Mercury whose malevolence clearly exceeds the
benevolence of Jupiter (unless Jupiter has less than sufficient
balance, Mercury's malevolence should exceed Jupiter's benevolence by
a factor two or greater, or Mercury should be severely malignant and
Jupiter have less than Good benevolence). The Sun's benevolence must
be clearly insufficient or at least lacking, if Jupiter's is not. This
signature incorporates psychopaths who do well academically (thanks to
a stronger than usual Jupiter), but who nevertheless become rapists or
murderers for the sake of a playful or "scientific" idea or excitement
alone.
  A few practitioners of pseudo-psychiatry are psychotic. The analysis
signature for psychosis is similar to that for mental illness, but
substituting Venus for Jupiter and Mercury for Mars. Psychotic
individuals are dishonest, evasive and irreligious. They are more
subjective than average and frequently disregard facts. They have
tendency to flee reality and seek fantasy. Psychotic people lack
manners. They rarely feel inferior to anyone. Instead they are more
likely to maintain a false sense of superiority. They are never any
good with details and they usually avoid science and religion - at
least the part about submitting to reality and God. They can be
generous and money is likely to run away from them, more often than
not it did not belong to them in the first place. Psychotic people who
are not psychopathic easily become emotional. A chart analysis
supporting psychosis must show unsafe malevolence for Jupiter
exceeding the benevolence of Mars and Mercury or the mean benevolence
of Mercury and the Sun. People whose charts match the signature and
have insufficient balance for Mercury and/or Mars are likely to see no
evil, hear no evil, and thus facilitate evil. These people are
inclined to miss, deny, excuse, or postpone any confrontation with
evil. A psychotic medical doctor avoids open and reasonable scientific
testing of his or her methods and disregard scientific findings
against their efficacy. The most psychotic practitioners of pseudo-
psychiatry diagnose people they do not know and do not care to know or
are simply unable to know. Needless to say, these individuals are a
lot more psychotic than the average person. For them, Jupiter must be
severely malignant and all of the inferior planets must show clearly
insufficient benevolence, at least one of which must show severe
insufficiency. If both Venus and Jupiter show severe malignancy, it is
enough that none of the inferior planets have promising or better
benevolence. The inferior planets have attributes counteracting
psychosis: Science (Mercury), religion (Mars) and lawfulness (the Sun)
are reasonable, powerful and balanced antidotes. If either the Sun,
Mars or Mercury has extremely insufficient benevolence, and especially
if one of them has extremely insufficient balance as well, it is
enough that Jupiter is malignant for a severe and pervasive psychosis
to take hold. If Jupiter is the Sankhya Yoga ruler or the atmakaraka,
the psychosis can be persistent over time and span a whole life. A
person whose chart matches one of the above signatures, as well as one
for severely deficient ethics or severe psychopathy, has the capacity
to commit the most gross violations against human dignity possible.
Most so called professionals who have followed in the footsteps of one
such individual are now said to be ashamed and recall the treatment as
inhumane and unscientific. Fortunately, the pseudo-psychiatrist
responsible for developing the terrifying and destructive treatment,
euphemistically called insulin shock therapy, died of an heart attack
in 1957. The chart analysis shows extremely insufficient benevolence
and balance for Mars. The medical doctor responsible for so called
electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) also fits the above signature
combination. In addition, Jupiter is both the Sankhya Yoga ruler and
the atmakaraka. Mercury shows extremely insufficient benevolence and
balance. Although Venus has more than sufficient benevolence, Mars is
extremely malignant. The chronically psychotic and quite insane doctor
died in 1963. In both cases, the Sun has less than sufficient
benevolence. It is important to note that all violent psychotics (such
as the doctors above) also must have charts matching inferiority
disorders of a significantly introvert nature, since only these can
trigger the use of violence (non-defensive or offensive use of force,
weapon, power, etc.). Examples of such disorders have been given here
and elsewhere. They include greed and other craziness, invalidism,
addiction, depression, wickedness, jealousy, hate, vengeance, power
hunger, autism, madness, conformism, puritanism and egoism. They do
not include superior disorders, such as mental illness and narcissism,
nor inferior extrovert disorders, such as psychopathy. People with
extrovert inferior disorders can certainly be highly disturbing, but
they never resort to violence. Obviously, most people incorporate more
than one disorder in their birth charts.
  The prime example of pseudo-psychiatry is arguably one of the
founders of the World Psychiatric Association and its first formal
president, a Scottish emigrant by the name of Donald Ewen Cameron. The
analysis result for his chart fits the signature for very severe
psychopathy. Mercury is severely or extremely malignant and Jupiter
has severely or extremely insufficient benevolence. Like people in
general, psychopaths are most likely to see themselves when looking at
other people. In psychology, this tendency is called projection. Since
we know ourselves better than we know everyone else, projection is the
only possible starting point when guessing and gauging the character
and personality of other people. These quotes from Wikipedia seems to
confirm the validity of projection also for this infamous medical
doctor: "... although society had established sanctions against the
spread of infectious diseases, he wanted to extend the concept of
contagion to chronic anxiety that had plagued society. He warned that
people with mental illnesses, who had not been quarantined, could
spread and transmit their disease to portions of the populations. ...
In the late 1940s, Cameron presented his ideas in a lecture entitled
Dangerous Men and Women. In it he described various personalities that
he believed were of marked danger to society. The individuals he
described were dangerous to all members of society including
children." This is perhaps the most egregious example of a pseudo-
psychiatrist gone spectacularly wrong. Throughout his career he never
showed a single sign of conscience or a shred of sanity in any form.
In his work for the CIA, he tortured numerous patients, causing some
to become comatose. Cameron is best known for his notorious behavior
modification research within the MK-ULTRA project. His experiments
were typically carried out on patients who had entered his practice
for minor problems such as anxiety disorders and postpartum
depression, many of whom suffered permanent debilitation as a result
of his actions. In addition to LSD, Cameron also experimented with
various paralytic drugs, as well as ECT at thirty to forty times the
normal power. His treatments resulted in victims suffering in-
continence and amnesia, forgetting how to talk, not remembering their
parents, and thinking their interrogators were their parents. The
chart analysis result matches all the signatures defined earlier: the
mentally ill, the antisocial, the psychopathic and the psychotic.
With unsafe malevolence for the Sun and a lacking benevolence for
Saturn, it also supports dyslexia and lack of knowledge. If the Sun's
influence is introverted, it points to craziness or less severe
depression. The ACA result is also a perfect match for very severe
narcissistic personality disorder (its signature can be found in a
later section). His chart most closely matches that for a psychopath,
revealing an extremely malignant Mercury. The worst fitting match is
for psychosis, with Jupiter "only" showing unsafe or ominous
malevolence exceeding the mean benevolence of Mercury and the Sun at
least 25 times! The overall chart integrity falls in the Dark Red
category, indicating well below average IQ. Cameron was born with the
Sun in Capricorn and the Moon in Gemini, a narcissistic, neurotic and
chronically anxious combination. Both the Sun in Capricorn and the
quincunx Moon in Gemini reduce empathy and perception, and the Moon
also shows positive traits of psychopathy of the first degree:
Cleverness and facile use of words, provocation, meanness, constant
need for excitement and stimulation, experimentation, caprice,
narrowness, scientificness, torture, lying, dislike for emotion and
morality, and discontent. Complete psychopathy also requires the
negative traits (absence of traits) stemming from an insufficiently
benevolent Jupiter. Most of these traits have been identified earlier
in this section, but the minus list of keywords for Jupiter might
provide a few more. Incidentally, Dr. Cameron shares his Sun and Moon
with the world's worst known serial killer, another medical doctor,
called Harold Shipman.
  The hallmark trait of psychopathy is totally remorseless lying, or
repeatedly being in the wrong. This is a sign of irrationality and the
associated inability to learn from past mistakes. Psychopaths may have
superficial charm and they are nearly always highly sexed, but their
emotions are undeveloped, weak or nonexistent. Their very limited
people skills and severe lack of morality and conscience turn a lot of
people against them and they often become targets of bullying.
Psychopaths are very much like life-long teenagers, but with few (if
any) of their good qualities. At their worst they are anti-competitive
and anti-moral, delighting in experimentation and provocation. They
are very open to change but less interested in listening to sense or
learning things from other people, especially if these other people
understand more than they do. Although, as already noted above, a
great many pseudo-psychiatrists incorporate traits of psychopathy, by
far the most common trait among them is "mental illness". Mentally ill
people have a lot in common with psychotics, but the former are less
emotional and even more distant. Psychotics and psychopaths are in
many ways each other's opposites. While psychopaths are bold and open,
psychotic people are anything but. They disregard facts and avoid all
genuine communication. This does not mean they are shy or mostly
silent, but rather that they like to open their mouths more than their
ears. They often give the impression of believing they are right even
when it is obvious they are wrong (bring up facts and they retreat to
fantasy). Psychotic people can also be paranoid, but being paranoid
does not necessarily mean you are psychotic. Psychotic paranoia is
recognized by the confusion of real threats and non-threats, such as
believing a vegetarian would have you for dinner. Only people whose
charts feature Pasa Yoga, have Saturn, Rahu or the Full Moon in
Sagittarius or Pisces, Jupiter or the Quincunx Moon conjunct Saturn or
Rahu, or Neptune tightly conjunct Neptune, can suffer psychosis for a
longer period of time without the help of a psychotic environment.
Anyone whose chart lacks all these features should also lack the
experience of genuine psychosis. If, in addition, both Jupiter and
Saturn shows safe malevolence, they should never become seriously
paranoid. An unsafe Mars can indicate paranoid behavior, in the face
of opposition, but it will not last for long and it will never amount
to anything serious. The Quincunx Moon (the Moon exchanging a quincunx
aspect with the Sun) promotes psychotic periods which might be very
frequent, but they should not last as long as is usually the case for
the above indications, nor be as deep. Severely mentally ill people
lack humility, an important prerequisite for learning new things and
building and developing one's character and abilities. The analysis
signature for severe mental illness, the degree most common among
pseudo-psychiatrists, has a malignant Venus whose malevolence exceeds
the benevolence of Mars by a factor of three or greater. In the most
severe cases of mental illness, this factor exceeds six. With enough
Taurus polarity, these people can become lewd and domineering
fraudsters. With an emphasis on Libra, they are more likely to become
adulterous and temperamental oppressors.
  Unlike sane psychiatrists, pseudo-psychiatrists can be jealous,
wicked and insane (the antisocial), carry out risky and senseless
experiments without a trace of conscience (the psychopaths), avoid
practical and sensible verification of their fanciful notions and
fantasies (the psychotics), or spend most of their time asleep in a
dreamworld successfully avoiding to think a single sympathetic thought
(the mentally ill). With a malignant Venus, the last group can be the
people who bully the psychopaths (and other people too if given a
chance). Mentally ill people are in many cases better educated and
smarter than average, but their thinking is always sleepy or unsharp.
Superior disgrace should exceed integrity by a fair margin. Chart
integrity should fall into the YellowGreen or a lower category.
Psychotic people have above average academic capacity, but their
reasoning is always obscure. Chart integrity should fall into the
Yellow or a lower category. Just like for the mentally ill, superior
disgrace should exceed integrity by a fair margin. Psychopaths can be
clever communicators, but their IQ, intellectual and academic capacity
is usually below average. Chart integrity should fall into the Orange
or a lower category. Inferior disgrace should exceed 16 percent and in
case of severe psychopathy also the integrity by a fair margin. Only
violent and hypocritical alcoholics, diabolic rulers, depressed
people, genuine idiots and total morons should score lower chart
integrity than psychopaths. As a final note on psychpathy: It appears
that psychopaths, at least those whose charts include the Sun in
Gemini, are more likely to be homosexuals compared to the average
person. If this reflects an intrinsic quality of psychopathy or if it
is merely a result of psychopaths being more open with their sexuality
I do not know.
  It is possible to be both psychopathic and psychotic, but since many
of the traits are mutually exclusive a combination would result in a
split personality, and the contradictory traits would have to show
forth at different times. Note that people diagnosed with the most
controversial and regularly abused pseudo-psychiatric diagnosis, i.e.
Schizophrenia, are in most cases emotionally developed. Quite a few
people with this diagnosis are neither psychopathic nor psychotic, at
least not more than the average person and some even less so. Almost
all people diagnosed with Schizophrenia suffer from post-traumatic
stress, and most of them are no more psychotic than the people making
the diagnosis. Please see the end of this section for more
information on this notoriously misused diagnosis.
  The most thoughtless and the least intelligent, and also the most
domineering and oppressive pseudo-psychiatrists, always have at least
one of the following indicators situated in Taurus or Libra: Ketu, the
Sun, the semi-sextile Moon, the trine Moon, or Mars. Most likely,
Venus as the atmakaraka yields similar results. These easy to spot
markers represent the strongest indications for mental retardation or
illness, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, as well as
more subjective conditions, such as bipolar disorder, lacking control
and being unhinged. Without mitigating indications, people with Mars,
or to some extent also the trine Moon, in Taurus can accurately be
described as thoughtless tyrants and cowards. On average, pseudo-
psychiatrists have more than one of these markers in their charts. The
extremely few who do not have any of these indications have Jupiter as
the atmakaraka and other markers increasing the likelihood for
psychosis, including the Sun or Mercury in Pisces or Sagittarius, as
well as the only fanciful sankhya yoga: Pasa Yoga. Psychotic people
are usually more mutable, but when opposed a Piscean individual can
become just as stubborn as a Taurean. Narcissism is also common among
pseudo-psychiatrists. The worst practitioners have charts with three
or more malignant planets, of which at least one is inferior and
another superior. The malevolence of Venus exceeds the benevolence of
Mars, or the mean benevolence of all the inferior planets, by a factor
three or more. One of the superior planets should carry malevolent
influence exceeding the benevolence of its inferior counterpart, or
the mean benevolence mentioned earlier, by a factor of at least four.
The Sun cannot carry sufficient benevolence exceeding the malevolence
of Saturn and the mean malevolence of the superior planets. The Sun
should never show promising benevolence, but if it would happen in a
rare case, Saturn must be unsafe or Venus carry extremely malignant
influence. For the most extreme, both the Sun and one of Mars or
Mercury must have insufficient benevolence, none can be sufficiently
benevolent. No pseudo-psychiatrist of any kind should score chart
integrity in the Green or any higher category. Pseudo-psychiatrists
who have some special talent, knowledge or are successful in the sense
of focus, education and international recognition should have a
sufficiently benevolent Saturn.
  As promised earlier, I will give one example contrasting that of
Donald Cameron's. Borrowing from Wikipedia: Thomas Szays is a
psychiatrist and academic. Since 1990 he has been Professor Emeritus
of Psychiatry at the State University of New York Health Science
Center in Syracuse, New York. He is a well-known social critic of the
moral and scientific foundations of psychiatry, and of the social
control aims of medicine in modern society, as well as of scientism.
He is probably the most famous inside critic of what I call pseudo-
psychiatry, a form of medical practice that conflicts with his
principles that each person has the right to bodily and mental self-
ownership and the right to be free from violence from others. His
chart reveals a benevolent Sun of more than sufficient benevolence.
Its dignity exceeds 50% by a wide margin and is thus classified as
good. In addition, his Mars has sufficient benevolence and is stronger
than usual in the general population. If both the Sun and Mars carry
sufficient benevolence, there is little opportunity for any pervasive
and general psychosis of the kind associated with pseudo-psychiatry to
establish itself. There is also enough empathy with and sympathy for
other people to avoid any severe mental illness. For the sake of
completeness, I will add that also the chart for Dr. Szays has one of
the markers for mental illness (Ketu in Taurus) and two for psychosis
(Mercury in Pisces and Pasa yoga). An insufficient Saturn and a
malignant Jupiter support his humanism (in 1973, the American Humanist
Association named him Humanist of the Year). Extremely insufficient
balance for Saturn shows a lack of greatness, thoroughness, grace,
strength and universal knowledge. Personally, I do not believe that
anyone who takes up modern medical psychiatry, a genuine pseudo-
science, can be as mentally safe and sound as most people. It might be
better to let school teachers discover and encourage people with
talent for psychiatry than to let individuals choose this advanced
branch of human understanding for a profession because they have a
psychiatric disorder. Being a medical doctor could be one of the least
suitable backgrounds for a psychiatrist. Judges and priests would
probably make better psychiatrists. I am aware of at least one
psychiatrist who has previously been diagnosed with Schizophrenia.
Having had documented or professed experience is definitely better
than having had no such experience. The condition is subjective and
cannot be diagnosed from the outside.
  Schizophrenia has historically been the most popular pseudo-
psychiatric diagnosis. It is a notoriously unreliable diagnosis when
diagnosed by pseudo-psychiatrists. The case of Anders Behring Breivik
is just one of the more recent examples of this, with the first two
doctors asserting he had Schizophrenia, and two others, in my opinion
much more objective, coming to the conclusion he had a narcissistic
personality disorder with sadistic traits. Studies before the Breivik
case show the diagnosis is about as reliable and meaningful as tossing
a coin. Most diagnoses of Schizophrenia target victims of crime.
Usually you can find an incompetent mother with autistic traits or a
powerful pride/jealousy and an inability to be happy without the
submission of other family members. In some cases there is a psycho-
pathic father. Studies also show that the prospects of people
diagnosed and treated in the West (using drugs, ECT or surgery) range
from bad to worse, while those more fortunate souls diagnosed in the
East and treated by a change of environment, completely eliminating
the mother or other designated caregiver, recover from their symptoms
of distress fairly quickly. All things considered, this does not mean
there are no psychotic or schizophrenic people around (as mentioned
above, quite a few pseudo-psychiatrists are suffering from psychosis
or, at the very least, a lack of reason). The analysis signature for
Schizophrenia, which also fits the majority of the cases listed on
Wikipedia, includes a malignant Jupiter and an insufficient Mercury,
thus replacing reason [Gemini] and fact [Virgo] with silliness
[Sagittarius] and fantasy [Pisces]. The Zodiac sign most suitable for
literal Schizophrenia (a suffering, evasive, solemn, limitless,
psychotic, drugged or drunken, split personality) is Pisces, the two
fish swimming in opposite directions. Josef Mengele, the Auschwitz
physician, was infamous for his split personality. He was born with
both the Sun and Mercury in Pisces. For people suffering from
psychosis over a longer period of time, i.e. more than a few months,
the signature also requires chart integrity below the Green category.
In at least 95 percent of cases, the chart integrity should fall into
the Yellow or a lower category. Some individuals who are diagnosed
with Schizophrenia are more mentally ill than psychotic, as evidenced
by an insufficient Mars and/or Sun and a malignant or ominous Venus
(these people are more likely to have the Sun in a superior sign than
an inferior). Pisces is the sign of psychosis, disregarding facts,
approving of oneself despite criticism from others, and retreating
completely into fantasy land. Schizophrenia, like the majority of
pseudo-psychiatric diagnoses, is vaguely defined. While most diagnoses
emphasize psychosis, others include extreme visual "hallucinations".
Pisces being a non-sensory sign should not suffer from hallucinations.
The most widely known case of diagnosed Schizophrenia and visual
hallucinations is probably that of John Forbes Nash (portrayed in the
film "A Beautiful Mind"). His chart features the Sun and Venus in
Gemini, as well as Pasa yoga reenforced by Saturn in Sagittarius. The
automatic chart analysis shows an extremely malignant Mercury, the
sensory planet. A severely malignant Jupiter and an at least clearly
insufficient Mercury support psychosis. In a few cases hallucinations
is the sole basis for the diagnosis. In these rare cases the primary
signature fails and only Mercury is malignant.
  Note: Pseudo-psychiatry is the use of medicine, torture, mental and
physical abuse in the treatment of fictional diseases with no
scientific, factual or objective basis. Pseudo-psychiatrists regularly
diagnose people who show healthy or natural and easily understandable
reactions to sick treatment. These medical doctors are either mentally
impaired or psychotic enough not to realize what they are doing.
Practitioners of pseudo-psychiatry have deficient empathy and can in
collusion with clueless or crazy, sometimes corrupt, governments
prescribe involuntary treatment. This fact alone is enough to clearly
distinguish pseudo-psychiatry from the practice of regular medicine.
The domineering behavior of most pseudo-psychiatrists are harmful
enough, but their treatments are even worse, often leading to
drastically reduced life expectancies. Materialistically biased,
fanciful, harmful and historically often mythological and politically
motivated diagnoses (Schizophrenia, Hysteria and Drapetomania) by
mentally challenged practitioners set this modern corruption apart
from original psychiatry, promoting health and longevity. The worst
feature of pseudo-psychiatry is involuntary hospitalization, in itself
a rights violation. Already in the 70s, pseudo-psychiatrists were made
aware they were the sick and not the others, but there are still aged
quacks who have yet to realize how grave their condition really is.
Although archaic diagnoses such as Drapetomania and Hysteria are long
gone and the frequently abused Schizophrenia diagnosis is at least set
to be partially phased out, there are newer and almost countless
diagnoses filling their places, including ADHD and borderline
personality disorder. The first of these has strong backing from big
pharmaceutical companies and their peddling of amphetamines to school
children and incarcerated adults. The good thing about these fictional
diseases, clearly setting them apart from the ordinary, is that a
simple decision can make them disappear, so do not be too surprised if
ADHD is completely gone by the middle of this century. However, given
the amount of people making a lot of money from the practice of
pseudo-psychiatry, the number of diagnoses are more likely to increase
over time. The lack of empathy, sympathy and analytical skills among
too many of its practitioners and the number of lives ruined (also
amphetamines have damaging long-term effects on health and well-being)
in its course make it necessary for every man and woman of conscience
to do something to put an end to pseudo-psychiatry once and for all.
  Thomas Szays: "We should all honor CCHR because it is really the
organization that for the first time in human history has organized a
politically, socially, internationally significant voice to combat
psychiatry. This has never been done in human history before."
  CCHR: Citizens Commission on Human Rights.

True and False Prophets
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
False prophets share many similarities with pseudo-psychiatrists.
While faithful and religious prophets have sufficient balance and at
least better than insufficient benevolence for the Sun (faith) and
Mars (religion), false prophets have at least severely insufficient
benevolence for one of these planets or insufficient benevolence for
both. For a really depraved priest, 'guru' or 'messiah', Saturn must
be malignant. For a complete fraudster, Venus must be malignant. For a
deceitful preacher, a malignant Jupiter is enough.
  To be a true prophet both the Sun (personal authenticity) and
Jupiter (general truthfulness) have to be benevolent. If only the
latter is benevolent, there can be true preaching but a lack of
authenticity in personal matters or private deeds at odds with the
words preached in public. A benevolent Mars is necessary for divine
protection and to have a drive for perfection. Factual precision,
formal communication and common decency requires a good or at least
sufficiently benevolent Mercury. For a highly evolved, loving and
understanding transcendentalist, Venus must be benevolent. Wise
masters and spiritual seekers must have a benevolent Saturn,
indicating people who are born wise or spiritual.
  If Mars is benevolent but Saturn (wisdom and detachment) is
deficient, it is possible to be born intelligent and religious but
unwise and materialistic. A benevolent Jupiter will guide the native
right, but practical and spiritual knowledge will only come after bad
experiences, usually due to even worse actions on the native's own
part.

Fame and Infamy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fame is a product of humility. The most common Sun sign among famous
people is Aries, the sign of fame. The most common Sun sign among
infamous people is Taurus, the sign of infamy. Since the Sun in Aries
is a primary placement, it has its greatest and best effect for a man.
The Sun in Taurus has its greatest and best effect for a woman. This
place is not intended to prove the common association of Aries with
fame, but of 715 randomly gathered public figures, 82 have the Sun in
this sign. Of the last 5 Nobel Prize winners for literature 3 have the
Sun in Aries. The first recipient of the prize in physics (Konrad
Rntgen) as well as the highest ranked chess player of all time (Garry
Kasparov) and still the record holder after having retired more than a
few years ago, were also born with the Sun in the sign of fame. While
tennis is hardly an ideal sport for the cerebral Aries, both the men's
and ladies' top 10 rankings feature 2 Aries Suns each. The following
sample of clearly outstanding people also feature the Sun in the same
sign: Arguably the most famous lover of all time (Giacomo Casanova),
possibly the most famous electric guitar player and the only three-
time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (Eric Clapton), three
former Chancellors of Germany (Otto von Bismarck - also known as the
Iron Chancellor, Helmut Kohl - Germany's modern unifier, and Gerhard
Schrder, Kohl's successor, 1998 to 2005), as well as the Pentagon
Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, who received the Right
Livelihood Award in 2006. Also females born with the Sun in Aries
tend to reach unusual levels of fame, among these are the following
singers: Aretha Franklin (1942), Diana Ross (1944), Agnetha Fltskog
(1950), Chaka Khan (1953), Susan Boyle (1961), Celine Dion (1968) and
Mariah Carey (1970).
  In stark contrast to the previous examples of fame, 6 out of 15
notorious dictators were born with the Sun in Taurus (0 with the Sun
in Aries). Also more than a few other infamous entities took birth
when the Sun was in Taurus, including politicians, such as Tony Blair,
former UK prime minister and a bonafide war criminal, and Dominique
Strauss-Kahn, former head of the IMF, as well as the mass-murdering
terrorist State of Israel. Tony Blair is wanted for war crimes, being
held responsible for the invasion of Iraq and the loss of hundreds and
thousands of lives. DSK is wanted for sexual assaults and is generally
hated by women. He is also despised by all men for the same reasons he
is hated by women and of course for being a French socialist (I do not
know which is worst, being French or a socialist). The State of Israel
never stops killing children, most recently it killed more than 50 in
its military offensive on Gaza. Although the Sun in Taurus does not
appear to be more common among violent criminals in general, the most
infamous and most brutal perpetrators regularly have the Sun in this
sign, including the Cambodian people slaughterer Pol Pot, the Scottish
mass murderer Thomas Watt Hamilton, and US terrorist bomber Timothy
McVeigh (168 people killed, over 800 injured). Note that for a woman,
the Sun in Taurus seems to have few (or at least fewer) ill effects.
Also note that a strong Mars (promising or better balance and some
benevolence) mitigates.

Learning, Schooling and Education
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All six planets reveal different kinds of education. Together they
give a general sense of the edification, learning and literacy that
can be expected during the best of circumstances. Ideal influence for
the Sun points to ideal development during the earliest childhood and
is necessary for the most basic education, including empathy. Mars
takes up where the Sun leaves off and develops the ability to think
and analyze. A good balance for Mars reveals proficiency in arts and
technology. A benevolent Mars promotes sympathy and respect for other
people. Mercury comes right after Mars and represents formal schooling
or education up to and including adolescence. If Mercury is weak there
may be few or no formal degrees or certificates. A benevolent Mercury
shows idealism or a sense of duty and helpfulness. A promising Mercury
reveals genius. Higher learning, academic and emotional education
requires sufficient benevolence for Jupiter. A profound psyche, broad
mind, right logic, general synthesis and heavenly bliss necessitate an
ideal Jupiter. If this planet is weak or insufficient, there is also a
weak or insufficient sense of humor. In extreme cases, there can be
a complete inability to see the humorous side of things. If Jupiter is
extremely insufficient there can be no growth and prosperity. If also
the Sun is weak, there can be extreme anorexia. Without a strong
Jupiter there can be no prophetic vision. To get the Truth of more
than trivial matters, Jupiter has to be sufficiently balanced. To be a
good leader and to compete academically, athletically and in general,
the planet of kings and leaders has to be good or better (at least for
a consistent winner in international competition). Note: Neptune may
have to be enabled to see the full intellectual and competitive
capacity. Character traits commonly associated with higher and avant-
garde education follow Venus. Social skills, cordiality, smartness,
human understanding, sense of justice and diplomacy, physical strength
and ability to fight and make peace, as well as culinary and musical
appreciation all depend on a strong and benevolent Venus. Male potency
and female fertility also belong to this planet and so do singing and
dancing. Saturn is the ultimate planet for all matters educational. A
severely insufficient Saturn and a severely malignant Sun reveals
severe dyslexia. A benevolent Saturn indicates divine Grace and
authority. With a strong enough Father of Time the native is equipped
with practical, spiritual and universal education, usually accompanied
by rare talent. A person with a fully virtuous, steadfast, skillful
and wise leadership must have a birth chart yielding four stars next
to Saturn. Note: Uranus may have to be enabled to see the totality of
anyone's awareness, knowledge, influence and authority in society.
  For dyslexia and other short-comings of communication the most
important planets to look at are the objective, starting with Saturn
and ending with Mercury. For dyscalculia the same planets are key, but
likely in the reverse order of importance. For autism, i.e. character
traits usually and primarily associated with a severe lack of heart,
sensitivity, understanding and contextual awareness, Venus should have
directly insufficent benevolence or benevolence clearly exceeded by
the malevolence of Mars. In cases of genuine autism, aligned with the
original sense of the word, there is automatic action, compulsion,
silentness, impatience and jealousy. Really severe cases of genuine
autism exposes a wicked tongue or quick, ruthless and often alarmingly
violent action with frequently lethal results. In these cases the
benevolence of Venus must be clearly overcome by the malevolence of
Mars or in some cases the mean malevolence of the Sun and Mercury.
Most typically there is a severely or extremely malignant Mars. If
Venus shows promising or better benevolence, then either Mars or the
mean malevolence of the Sun and Mercury have to reach malignancy. For
non-silent or high-functioning autism, primarily characterized by
repetitive behavior, lack of heart and emotion, and thus a failure to
develop relationship skills and language to a usual level, it is
enough to have a Mercury whose malevolence exceeds the benevolence of
Jupiter and/or Venus by a factor two or more. This kind of autism
often includes inconsiderate and even cruel behavior towards other
people. If this is the case, Mercury should be malignant. For a severe
lack of language, Jupiter should be clearly insufficient. In those
rare cases where exceptional intelligence and expert skills accompany
high-functioning autism, Mercury, the expert planet, should have at
least promising balance, sufficient benevolence, and also significant
Virgo polarity. For good memory, a good balance is enough. In at least
one fourth of the cases of diagnosed autism and loosely related
Asperger listed on Wikipedia, Venus shows extremely insufficient
benevolence. In a clear majority of the cases Venus is clearly
insufficient. In one case of very late Asperger diagnosis for an
English actor, filmmaker, screen- writer and musician, the above
signature fails. The actor was only diagnosed in 2010, aged 36. The
result of the automatic chart analysis points to mental disability and
possible mental illness, but slightly above average integrity.
According to Wikipedia, he stated in a candid interview with The
Telegraph that he suffered from "a debilitating sense of detachment".
This is consistent with being a victim of crime or other abuse - not
autism and probably not Asperger either, although the criteria for the
latter diagnosis are less clear and share many similarities with
narcissism (lack of empathy, social awkwardness, and physical
clumsiness). The analysis shows extremely insufficient benevolence for
the Sun and a severely malignant Saturn. The only hint of autism is
the Sun in Virgo; on its own this solar placement can at worst give
rise to mild high-functioning autism, perhaps better and more directly
called stupidity (in its most formal sense). It should be noted that
the Sun in Virgo is less of an impediment for a woman than a man, and
of course far from all men with the Sun in Virgo have severe issues
with it. Nonetheless, the Sun in Virgo consistently reveals emotional
isolation in some form. Verbal autism is anti-psychotic (the influence
and in particular the benevolence of Mercury mitigates any malevolence
of Jupiter). Preliminary testing points to autistic traits (not fully
satisfying the signature for ASD) being common among people active in
professional sport and marathon running. The same character traits are
also more common among physicians, especially in places unnaturally
conducive to autism, such as Sweden (to the author, the only society
known as predominantly autistic). Needless to say, far from all
physicians possess autistic traits, and pseudo-psychiatrists are more
likely to be psychotic than autistic, while a few, hopefully very
rare, individuals are both. Dyslexia can be ruled out if Saturn is
sufficiently benevolent, no inferior planet is severely malignant and
the Sun shows no more than ominous malevolence. Genuine autism can be
ruled out using the same condition, but substituting Mars for the Sun
and adding a benevolent Venus. Autism of any kind and severity can be
ruled out if Venus shows good or better benvolence and neither Mars
nor Mercury is malignant (as always, an extrovert Ascendant limits
the potential for introvert disorders, such as autism).
  For lack of concentration, disinterest in sex and routine tasks,
poor detail memory and obvious inability to keep a schedule, Mercury
should be insufficient or the malevolence of Jupiter should exceed the
benevolence of Mercury by a factor two or more. A sufficient Saturn
can compensate for or cancel all of these traits, except the lack of
sexual excitement and detail memory, which may only be mitigated to
a limited extent. Initial testing support a correlation between an
insufficient Mercury and so called vegetative states. If Mercury is
extremely insufficient, extremely severe neurological conditions can
occur, such as a permanent vegetative state (PVS). For such a state to
manifest itself, at least one of the inferior dispositors must show
insufficient influence (usually Mercury is the most insufficient
planet). As a rule, at least one of them should show extremely
insufficient benevolence. For lack of attention, mental deficiencies,
problems with thinking straight, and poor analytical skills, Mars
should be insufficient or the malevolence of Venus should exceed the
benevolence of Mars by a factor two or greater. An insufficient
balance for Saturn exacerbates both these conditions, while a
benevolent Sun can mitigate or cancel, depending on its benevolence
and the severity of the insufficiency mentioned earlier.

Depression (MDD), Addiction (APD) and Severe Mood Swings (BD)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A basic analysis signature for the common inferiority disorder known
as depression is at this stage similar to that for autism and other
inferiority disorders. For all inferiority disorders you first look
for exclamation marks next to the inferior planets in the Malevolence
table. For any major depression there must be severely malignant
influence associated with at least one of the inferior planets or two
with clearly malignant influence. While the signature for genuine
autism emphasizes a malignant Mars and an insufficient Venus, the
signature for genuine depression emphasizes a malignant Sun and an
insufficient Saturn. However, also Jupiter, the planet of Joy, is
consistently insufficient for people dealing with major depression.
Generally insufficient influence for a planet is indicated by minus
signs in the Balance table. A lack of benevolent influence is shown in
the Benevolence table. For a severe major depression where a person
experiences a general lack of joy and purpose in life, the Balance
table must show severely insufficient influence for Jupiter. For less
severe cases of major depression, it is enough that Saturn shows
severely insufficient balance. For extreme depressions with suicidal
thoughts, both Saturn and Jupiter must show clearly insufficient
benevolence. For minor and sporadic depressions, it is enough that one
of the inferior planets shows unsafe malevolence clearly exceeding the
benevolence of Jupiter. In most cases of diagnosed major depression at
least one of the inferior planets carries severely malignant
influence. The signature for really severe addiction is similar to
that for depression. At this stage it is almost identical to that for
autism and OCD and consists of the malevolence of Mars or the mean
malevolence of the Sun and Mercury exceeding the benevolence of Venus
by a multiple of two or more. If the multiple is less than three, then
one of the three inferior planets must be severely malignant. For less
severe addiction or plain overconsumption, it is enough to have an
unsafe Mars whose malevolence exceeds the benevolence of Venus. For
substance abuse (especially alcohol and food) it is enough to have an
ominous or malignant Sun. A malignant Jupiter can deepen any already
indicated drug abuse and possibly all by itself also increase the
potential for chemical dependency or abuse of lighter drugs, falling
short of alcohol and heroine. For sex addiction where excitement
drives the behavior, Mercury must be unsafe. If it is not malignant,
then its malevolence must exceed or nearly match the benevolence of
Jupiter, additionally, Mars or the Sun must have malevolence clearly
exceeding the benevolence of both Venus and Saturn, or Mercury must
have clearly excessive balance.
  The primary signature for antisocial personality disorder builds on
the one for addiction and adds less than sufficient benevolence for
Jupiter or benevolence less than half the malevolence of Mars or the
mean malevolence of the Sun and Mercury, as well as chart integrity
within the Orange or a lower category. This disorder shows a pervasive
pattern of disregard for the rights of others that begins in childhood
and continues into adulthood. Its natives engage in unnecessary
conflicts and are often fascinated by power and death. As children,
some natives are cruel to animals and may even enjoy the feeling they
get from taking their lives. Without early intervention, they may
start to kill people as adults. A secondary analysis signature
emphasizes immorality. This signature only requires an unsafe Sun or
Mars and a severely malignant Mercury whose malevolence clearly
exceeds the benevolence of the most benevolent superior planet. The
Sun cannot have sufficient benevolence. A malignant Saturn can
trigger, worsen and enlarge the scope of an antisocial personality
disorder. In extremely rare cases of extremely violent behavior, none
of the inferior planets reach malignancy but at least one shows
clearly unsafe malevolence, i.e. no dots. In these cases the
malevolence of Saturn must clearly exceed the benevolence of the Sun
and the chart integrity must fall into the YellowGreen or a lower
category. In addition, one of the other inferior planets must show
clearly unsafe malevolence when the outer planets (Uranus and Neptune)
are enabled. Serial killers who do not fully satisfy the description
for antisocial personality disorder, lacking a pervasive pattern of
antisocial behavior, can have a good Jupiter. If this is the case, the
automatic chart analysis must show extremely insufficient benevolence
for the Sun, or an extremely malignant Mercury and a less than
promising Sun. Chart integrity should fall below the YellowGreen
category. Unless the Sun shows extremely insufficient benevolence, no
serial killer of any kind should have a promising or better Saturn. As
far as I know, there are no charts for serial killers which show a
good Saturn. A serial rapist could possibly have a good Saturn, in
such a case Mercury should be at least severely malignant or the mean
malevolence of the two most malevolent inferior planets must reach
malignancy. Additionally, at least one of the inferior planets should
have severely insufficient benevolence. No serial killer should score
Green or higher integrity. The integrity scores for all prolific
serial killers should fall into the Yellow or a lower category. At
least 97 percent of all serial killers should belong to this group.
Extremely prolific serial killers or serial rapists with more than one
hundred victims should all score in the Red or DR categories. The same
applies to psychopathic serial torturers and war criminals who condone
the use of torture. The most prolific serial killers, the worst war
criminals, and the most prolific violent offenders and most
incompetent people of all kinds, should all score in the DR category
and have integrity less than one fifth of inferior disgrace.
  For severe mood swings and so called bipolar disorder, the key
analysis signature includes insufficient benevolence for the Sun. In
most cases of diagnosed bipolar disorder the results support major
depression as well, but there are a few cases where all the superior
planets show sufficient benevolence. In those cases the Sun shows
insufficient benevolence. Sometimes an extremely insufficient Mars
reenforces the deficiency of the Sun. In most cases also Jupiter shows
insufficient benevolence. In rare cases, the benevolence of the Sun
shows up as sufficient but not promising or better. In such cases
Jupiter has severely insufficient benevolence or the analysis result
fits the signature for atypical major depression, i.e. one or more
severely malignant inferior planets plus a severely insufficient
Saturn and an amply benevolent Jupiter. For really severe mood swings,
Venus or Saturn must show unsafe malevolence. The Sun in Aquarius,
Capricorn, Libra or Taurus directly supports lack of fortune, mental
impairment, and severe mood swings. Individuals born with the Sun in
these signs can be very easy-going or even submissive at one moment
and extremely unpleasant the next. They typically aim poorly and
frequently direct their unpleasantness at people who have done them no
harm, especially those who are defenceless, people a lot younger than
themselves, and animals (people born with the Sun in the opposite
signs [Leo, Cancer, Aries and Scorpio] aim better and are typically
only unpleasant towards people who first have been unpleasant towards
them). With the Sun in Taurus, they can become mass murderers with
very little or no advance warning. While Taurus almost has a monopoly
on mass murder (see the section on fame and infamy), the two most
prolific known serial killers in the world have the Sun in Capricorn
and Aquarius (218 and 138 proven victims, respectively). The mood
swings are slightly less severe in Libra, but they are big and fast
enough to qualify for the now common bipolar disorder diagnosis. A few
well-known and typical sufferers include Friedrich Nietzsche, Graham
Greene and Sting. There is also at least one highly prolific serial
killer in this sign. Best known as the Monster of the Andes, Pedro
Lopez raped and killed at least 53 young girls (he confessed to 103
killings). All four of these Sun signs are indicative of victimization
early in life and lack of authenticity and empathy later. The Sun has
its weakest placement in Capricorn and Aquarius, and slightly less
weak in Taurus and Libra. It is possible to strengthen the Sun with
planets in Leo or Cancer. Most notably, Jupiter in these signs
improves the fortune and balances the brain. It thus represents a
strong counter-indication to severe mood swings. To be a highly
prolific serial killer, it is not enough to have only the Sun situated
in the signs mentioned here, also Ketu or Jupiter must be placed in
one of these signs (if not both, then the other must not be
unafflicted in Leo, Cancer, Aries or Scorpio).

Narcissism and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Narcissism describes personality traits exactly opposite those of
depression and addiction. Narcissists tend to be hypersocial, sober
and successful, but they lack empathy and faith, especially in other
people. They are victims of exceedingly harsh childhoods and sense
pressure to succeed in life. They seek recognition from society, in
part to receive some of the respect and appreciation they were
deprived of early in life. Narcissists know what they have to do to
accomplish themselves and they remain focused all the way to the top.
The analysis signature for plain narcissism includes an unsafe Saturn.
When the malevolence of Saturn exceeds the benevolence of the Sun,
there is the beginning of a major disorder. If the Sun is insufficient
and Saturn is ominous or worse, there can be a severe disorder. These
people are more victims of bad karma than anything else, but with
other character flaws they can be extremely destructive. Their impact
is most evident on the people closest to them, but eventually their
public image suffers as well. Narcissistic people are less likely to
become depressed, alcoholics or have suicidal thoughts, but they
easily and frequently give an inane or gloomy impression, and they
rarely enjoy a party. Usually they have suffered material, mental and
sexual abuse as children. In personal relations they tend to be
unfaithful, and in public they are less than authentic. Unlike madmen
and psychopaths, narcissists do not harm other people with intent but
rather through lack of civility, empathy and care. The analysis
signature for severe cases of narcissism, and so called narcissistic
personality disorder, features both a malignant Saturn and a Sun of
insufficient benevolence. People whose chart analyses match this
signature can be extremely egocentric, rigid, cowardly, depraved and
at times abusive towards people of smaller stature or greater humility
than their own. Narcissists of this kind have excessive estimation of
or admiration for themselves, especially in relation to education,
career and standing in society. Classical or aesthetical narcissism,
primarily characterized by a preoccupation with physical features,
sexual attraction and gratification, only requires a malignant Venus
and a less than good Mars. All kinds of narcissism, but especially the
latter, lack humility. Note that the exact effects of a narcissistic
personality disorder depend greatly on the benevolence and malevolence
of the other planets.

Cancellation of Malignant Malevolence and Good Benevolence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In reading the final dispositor listing, the Sun and Saturn are extra
important. Both planets can under most circumstances cancel the effect
of the other. If both have severely or extremely insufficient balance,
then the conditions of the remaining four planets matter less. As a
rule, a clearly benevolent Saturn can cancel a malignancy of Mars and
Mercury which is less than severely malignant. Similarly, a clearly
benevolent Sun can negate a malignancy of Venus and Jupiter which is
less than severely malignant. A good Saturn can also cancel the
malignancy of the Sun, if it is not severe, and a good Sun can negate
the malignancy of Saturn. Here, cancellation of malignancy does not
mean no bad traits at all, but rather a very significant drop in their
prevalence, for example from malignant to unsafe. This cancellation
comes at a price: A malignant Saturn can reduce the benevolence of an
inferior planet, for example from good to merely sufficient, and a
malignant Sun can do the same thing for a superior planet.

Additional Notes on Exclamation Marks, Plusses and Minuses
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please note that exclamation marks only indicate potentials for
certain actions and behavior. In no way is it implied that everyone
with exclamation points next to Jupiter in their chart is a crook, or
that everyone with four exclamation points next to Mercury is a
murderer or torturer. What these marks do indicate are character
traits that are troubling to the person. In the case of Mercury there
can be an inferiority complex and in the case of Jupiter a superiority
complex. In general, an inferiority complex causes a person to seek
power over other people and to tear them down as compensation for
his/her perceived lack of talent or competence. Their cluelessness or
haughtiness, touchiness or timidity, and irritability or stupidity
make them more frequent targets of bullying than other people. On the
contrary, a superiority complex causes a person to shun direct,
immediate or genuine power, as it is perceived as unnecessary, and
thus the person becomes an easy victim of antisocial behavior and
violence. Even with all these character traits known in advance it is
usually not possible to predict where they will actually lead without
also knowing the person's experiences and circumstances in life. To
some extent these can be predicted or revealed by an examination of
accidental factors in the birth horoscope, starting with the
Ascendant, but not even a complete analysis of the horoscope can
account for all the exact details of a person's life, his/her cultural
background or level in society. In addition, not even a serial rapist
goes around raping people all the time. Transitory influences must be
examined to know how active a particular planet is at any given time.
Only the sankhya yoga ruler and the atmakaraka are always fully
active. Finally, so long as a planet has sufficient balance and more
than extremely insufficient benevolence some "good" can come out of
it: A strong Mercury always promotes monetary gains, sexual excitement
and verbal skills. It also contributes openness, a sense of detail,
and good short term memory. A strong Jupiter shows language and
academic skills. It also increases the ability to compete or blend in
and the chance of travel or rest.
  Stars and exclamation marks often work to cancel each other out. The
benevolence of a planet can reduce the malevolence of its opposite.
If the benevolent planet is the sankhya yoga ruler, a single star can
cancel the malevolence of a single exclamation mark. If the starred
planet is an ordinary planet, it can cancel the malevolence when it is
active. In the same way, the malevolence of a planet can hinder the
benevolence of its opposite.
  Until the release of the first pre-alpha, most charts will show
excess plusses, minuses and exclamation marks. As from TP80, their
numbers will probably stay largely the same. The number of plusses and
minuses could see a slight decrease and the number of exclamation
marks is likely to continue its slow and steady decline.
