| Jane Austen is a striking example of Virgo rising and the maiden looks of this sign. With Neptune right on the Ascendant, the features become softer, rounder, and more expressive. The Midheaven is in Gemini which indicates a career in writing or communication, and Jupiter nearby indicates publishing. The ruler, Mercury, is in Sagittarius the sign of morals, and with the Sun there also, and the Moon and Saturn in Libra, it is no wonder she focused on the social mores and snobbery of the aristocracy or upper classes. Her Libra planets also dealt realistically with marriage, etiquette, and relationships in general, and she was herself exemplary in these respects. Venus in Scorpio evaluates with surgical precision and is no stranger to sex or passion. Mars in Capricorn and in conjunction to Pluto is extremely practical and realistic and Jupiter in Gemini with Uranus is a giant in the field of writing or communications. Saturn in Libra deals with the law or structure of relationships, as well as actual physical beauty or form. Uranus in Gemini speaks or writes with candor and brilliance, and Neptune in Virgo gives an intuitive or sensitive critique. Pluto in Capricorn investigates and uncovers the sordid facts and figures which leave their imprint on the skein of time. | |
