The generation of Starscine horoscope readings is the end product
of the last seven year of work by the Starscine team. Starscine
translates the actual positions of the planets into four readings.
These readings represent your sensitivity to solar forces in relation
to Mind, Passion, Spirit and Power on that day. All readings are
on a scale of 1 to 10. In practice, the readings are not evenly
distributed over the scale, so that a normal reading is usually
somewhere in a range between 2 and 4, while a reading of 8 or 9
is extremely rare. To assist you to interpret the scale, we have
provided the following guidelines:
0 to 2 is Low
2 to 4 is Normal
4 to 6 is High
6 to 8 is Very High
8 to 10 is Extreme
No specific predictions, such as 'Watch out for men wearing red
ties on Friday' are provided as our research revealed no scientific
basis for such predictions. A 'High' reading indicates that you
are more likely to be influenced by the particular forces nominated,
a 'Low' reading means that you are less likely to be influenced.
A 'High' reading is not necessarily good, and a low reading is not
necessarily negative. Starscine understands that while the planets
have an influence on people, they are by no means the only influence.
Genetics and circumstance are but two other factors that have a
significant influence on who we are and how we behave.
With this understanding we leave it to you, the person who knows
you best, to interpret how a particular reading might impact on
your day in much the same way as you are the best one to interpret
how the weather is going to affect your day.
The astrological influence of the solar elements on the mind is
one of the most consistently observable aspects of astrological
history. The interpretation has varied slightly based on the respective
interests of the audience, but there has always been a strong association
with the position of particular planets (particularly Mercury) and
one's ability to think clearly (or otherwise) about particular issues.
The Starscine 'Mind' reading relates to mental activity, including
creativity, objectivity, problem solving, imagination and rational
thought.
A lower reading is likely to result in you falling back on those
mental techniques with which you are most comfortable.
A higher reading is likely to indicate the conditions where you
may be inclined to use those mental processes which are less familiar
to you. You may choose to take advantage of a higher reading and
'go with the flow' of this additional positive energy by extending
an existing area of interest or exploring a new area that interests
you.

If you are a person who has a tendency to avoid thinking: For example, perhaps you tend to
avoid a more objective or concrete approach to thinking by dreaming, a tendency of Pisceans,
or perhaps you get caught between possible courses of action, or act impulsively without
thinking. |
A low Mind reading will offer little help for the dreamer or the procrastinator to move into
decisive action. On the other hand, if you tend to act before you think, a low reading may
serve as a warning to reverse the process. |
A high Mind reading provides the dreamer with astrological energy to move into practical action,
and power for objective thought is available to help overcome procrastination. Impulsive
action can be curbed while consequences are considered. |
|
If you are a person who values various forms of thinking: For example, perhaps you value
thinking pragmatically about practical outcomes as a Virgoan might, enjoy debating like a
classic Gemini, or enjoy thinking outside the square or engaging in games like chess that
stretch the mind. |
A low Mind reading will offer an opportunity to act on intuition if you are inclined to experience
'paralysis by over-analysis', or you may benefit from giving your mind a rest by listening to,
or playing, music, or engaging in out-door activity or meditation. |
A high Mind reading provides the right environment to tackle difficult or mind-stretching
problems or challenges. You may need to watch for a tendency to pay too much attention to
detail, to over-analyze, or to let your ideas carry you away. |
Passion has been given many names over time: love, romance, desire, to name a few.
Astrology has long been the science of choice to explain the otherwise inexplicable fluctuations
in our emotions. As a result, much of the literature of astrology has been devoted to this area,
and a wide variety of interpretations have been presented. The Starscine 'Passion' reading relates
to the potential amplification of your depth and range of feeling. Consistent with traditional
astrology, emotions are strongly influenced by Venus.
A lower reading is likely to influence you towards self-consciousness and restraint.
A higher reading will indicate that there is energy available to extend yourself emotionally
or to become more instinctive and expressive.
Some examples:
| Personality |
Low Reading |
High Reading |
If you are a person who tends to 'bottle up' your emotions: For example, many
Cancerians tend to repress their emotions in order to protect themselves from vulnerability. Or
you may keep emotions out of the picture in order to avoid making a commitment, or because you
don't want your emotions to get in the way of your ambitions. |
A low Passion reading may distance you even further from your own emotions.
For a number of reasons, you may see this as advantageous, but it can lead to your built-up
emotional energy rushing out and shocking everyone, including you. You will benefit from staying
in touch with your emotional life and your values. |
A high Passion reading provides an opportunity to contact your own values and
emotions and to be more emotionally open towards others. If you do not take the time to be aware
of these things, you may 'let your hair down' unexpectedly, surprising yourself and others in ways
you may regret. |
|
If you are a person who lives life with your heart of your sleeve: For example, if you tend to be
'in love with love', or if you fall in love easily like many Librans, or enjoy flirtations like a
classic Gemini individual, or if you're simply hooked on romance or sentiment. |
A low Passion reading provides you with an opportunity to 'cool your heels' or 'recharge your
batteries' and pay attention to other aspects of your life, or to gain some objectivity about your
relationships, especially intimate relationships. |
A high Passion reading may lead to impulsive actions or negative outcomes if you get caught up in
the moment without considering the consequences. On the other hand, you have the option to harness
this astrological force to achieve a positive and creative outcome. |
Our understanding of the spiritual world and its influences on the human condition has changed
markedly over the 3,000 year history of astrology. The constant throughout has been the awareness of
its existence. The outer planets, those further from the Sun than the Earth, such as Saturn and
Uranus, have a strong influence on the spirit, as does the…….?. Starscine has not attempted to explain
this interaction.
A higher reading is likely to mean that you are more open to interaction with spiritual elements
than a low reading.
These elements might be concerned with spiritual enlightenment, or a connection with humankind that
transcends time or place, for example, and would vary depending on your specific location and personal
circumstances.
Some examples:
| Personality |
Low Reading |
High Reading |
If you are a person who disregards the spiritual side of life: For example,
you may be skeptical of the non-rational like many Taureans, question the value of spiritual
pursuits, or have little interest at all in this aspect of life. |
A low Spirit reading will be of little consequence to you, since whatever spiritual
power is available to you has already been shut out. If you remain closed even to the possibility
of the spiritual side of human nature, you will remain unaware of this aspect in relationships and
potentially have much to lose. |
A high Spirit reading indicates the possibility of increased awareness of the spiritual
forces in your life and in the world. Some kind of spiritual experience at this time could be
life-changing. |
|
If you are a person who embraces the spiritual dimension of life: For example, you may
have a hunger for spiritual or higher truths, like the classical Sagittarian, or you may have
established a formal or informal spiritual practice in your own life. |
A low Spirit reading might provide you with a test of faith as familiar practices no
longer satisfy, or you are not comforted by your present form of spirituality during a period of
upheaval. This may be a time to remember that faith does not depend on feeling. |
A high Spirit reading may serve to increase your awareness of spiritual forces.
This awareness needs to be tempered with discretion, as not all forces are beneficial. |
In the history of astrology, power has had a number of labels and interpretations, but there has
been consistent and general agreement down the ages that power is strongly influenced by the Sun.
Depending on the perspective and presentation of the interpreter, this reading has also been strongly
associated with success, money work and sport. The Starscine 'Power' reading relates to physical well
being, authority over self, authority over others, and relationships with the physical world.
A low Power reading could be interpreted as leaving you open to lethargy and indecision, or as a
timely opportunity for reflection and contemplation.
A high Power reading could see you vulnerable to over-confidence or arrogance, or, if well-managed,
it could provide you with much needed energy and enthusiasm.
Some examples:
| Personality |
Low Reading |
High Reading |
If you are a person who usually feels intimidated by power: For example, you
may tend to over-estimate authority as might the classic Capricorn personality who insists on
following traditional or conservative conventions. Or your intimidation may take the form of, for
example, feeling guilty or uncomfortable when you see a policeman or a store detective even though
you've done nothing wrong. |
A low Power reading will alert you to the need to consciously compensate for
your feelings of lack of empowerment. You will need to call on your inner resources, such as
awareness, to ensure that your own fear or apathy does not result in others taking advantage of you. |
A high Power reading can be used to assert yourself in a situation where you
feel intimidated. You will need to ensure that this is done in such a way as to avoid overt
aggression or passive aggression, such as snide remarks or covert sabotage. |
|
If you are a person who usually seeks or assumes power: For example, you may,
Leo-like, simply seek a kingdom to rule over, anything from a large corporation to your garden
shed, or you may usually take the upper hand in relationships, especially intimate ones. |
A low Power reading will provide you with an opportunity to reflect on how
your use of power is impacting on others. Since all forms of power corrupt to some extent, it is
essential to assess how your actions at work, and in community or intimate relationships, are
affecting others. |
A high Power reading can increase your self-belief so that you can press
forward on difficult issues. You may need to consider what negative impact your actions are likely
to have and whether the benefits of pursuing a particular course of action will outweigh the
negative fallout, especially damage to associated relationships. |
