Your Mercury is in Cancer, which is ruled by the Moon
Your Moon is Libra, which is ruled by Venus

When your final dispositor is the: 

Sun
Being in the sunshine lifts your spirits up immensely. If the climate where you live is not particularly sunny, you may need to take Vitamin D, use full spectrum light bulbs throughout your home and paint at least one wall in a bright, cheerful color. 

Make it a point to develop a practice which helps you expand your personal energy vibration.  You feel more confident and optimistic when you're centered in your personal power.  Shining out your light and positive attitude uplifts everyone around you.  You're a beacon for others. 

Knowing who you are and what your Purpose is means everything to you. Your true test is in giving yourself fully, really showing up for that which you are engaged in, believing in yourself and having faith in your life journey, faith in your destiny.  Dispel doubts. 

Choose that which adds to your energy, not that which depletes it.  Always focus on feeling vibrant, active and energized.  This is your special signature. 

Moon
Your sensitive nature is affected by the ebb and flow of life and its many demands.  You do much better when you have control over your environment and have the freedom to manage your own time and move through life at your own pace.   

Establishing solid emotional boundaries between yourself and others, (especially
family members) is crucial so that you don't absorb others emotional crisis and become entrenched in the dramas of life.  Letting go of your personal "story" is so important because of a tendency to live in the past and/or take on the role of the 'victim'. 

Displaying tenderness and affection toward yourself and others helps you remain in the heart center and in the flow of life. It is not a good idea for you to internalize your feelings.  Better to cry and let things go.  Don't hold grudges.  

Your home environment means everything to you.  Make it beautiful.  Enjoy cooking, baking and gardening.  In his words of wisdom for 2009, The Dalia Lama's says "Approach cooking with reckless abandon". 

Mercury
You have an innate curiosity about many things in life and love the process of learning. You
enjoy variety, are adaptable, creative and versatile.  You do well in all fields associated with communication.  You are a good student and a good teacher.  You love being involved with the movement of information.  You are learning the art of diplomacy. 

Learning to focus and organize your thoughts helps your mind be razor sharp, well articulated and fast at what you do.   You have a flair for writing and/or public speaking.  You have the capacity and the intelligence to understand whatever you put your mind to.  Having variety in your work and the freedom to create your own schedule suits you much better than performing the same tasks each day in a routine manner. 

A lifetime student, you enjoy the process of discovery and are quick to acquire a hands-on working knowledge of that which you are studying.  You are comfortable wearing many hats so you may have multi dimensional interests within your professional activities or you may have two different professions, each one drawing upon your skills and creative abilities.   

Your mental energy and endless curiosity can take you in many directions simultaneously so that others have a hard time keeping up with you.  It's like the teenager in any home.  Just when you think you know what interests them and who they're hanging out with, it all changes in the blink of an eye and you're way out of touch with the latest rendition!  

Venus
You will find that being involved in a creative process really fuels your imagination and sense of beauty.  You absolutely must have beauty in your life when you have this final dispositor.  Venus is teaching you how to embrace and savor those things which bring you pleasure and an air of the romantic.  A great character that just came to mind to explain how to live life in full Venusian style is Catherine, played by the English actor, Lindsay Duncan in the movie, 'Under the Tuscan Sun'.  Do you remember her elaborate wardrobe and how she savored each and every experience with great delicacy and deliberation.  She made eating an ice cream an art! 

Participating in social activity and cultivating relationships are important to you.   You seek balance, harmony, refinement and cooperation in all relationships and do your best to meet others half way.  Sometimes, you may place too much emphasis on the needs of others, unaware of the importance of defining for yourself what you really want.  This may create a subtle, or not too subtle expectation that the other person(s) are responsible for your happiness.  Loving yourself, believing yourself to be attractive and knowing that you can attract beauty into your life is where it's at.  

Venus helps us understand what we value and how to attract more of it into our lives.  You have much personal charisma, along with an innate capacity to attract and cultivate the kind of lifestyle you truly want.  

Mars
You like to be active and on the go so a sedentary lifestyle isn't for you.  If you're working in an office environment, it's imperative to get your body moving with a workout at the gym, participating in a competitive sport or going for a run on a regular basis. Yoga and pilates isn't likely to cut it for you! 

If you 're a woman, you are learning how to gather and express your inner warrior energy so that you can achieve the results which are important to you.   This placement helps you stay abreast of a busy lifestyle, do what is necessary for those who rely on you, but make time for yourself to do your own thing.  When this is not achieved, you're likely to get angry.   You are learning how to express your anger in a direct manner and not hold onto it.  Often, you enjoy relationships with men rather than women.  Men seem less complicated. 

If you're a man, you likely move through life aggressively, desiring to be in control and prefer to get your own way.  You work hard, and push yourself hard.  You are utilizing the highest path of Mars energy when you cultivate self control, self-discipline and ultimately self-mastery.  This is easier to accomplish if your Mars is in a fixed sign (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius).  You know how to access your will and direct it toward achieving your goals.  You can be very one-pointed and carry fierce determination. You have much courage and conviction.  You need a lot of space in personal relationships. 

You have the gift to inspire and encourage others and help them believe in themselves.  This is why we see many professional athletes take on public roles of this nature.  You are self-reliant and self-confident.  Being on a 'quest' and feeling passionate about your life means everything to you.   

Jupiter
You like to view life's possibilities through a kaleidoscope.  Small thinking and taking small, cautious steps is not your route.  You like to be aligned with the bigger picture for you have a generous, philosophical disposition and are a true optimist.  For the most part, you are gregarious and self-confident.   

Unless Saturn occupies a strong position in your birth chart, you may live beyond your means for economy is not a part of your larger than life vision of what is important.  You are generous to a fault and always seek to express a positive attitude.  You may make promises you cannot always keep for consistency is not always your strongest ally but you always mean well and never deliberately deceive anyone.   However, you do have the gift of the gab and others will seek to follow your lead.   

You love the idea of travel (even if you're an armchair traveler later in life) and are interested in different cultures and philosophies.  Far away lands with ancient history and cultures are likely to carry a special mystique for you.  You are a great story teller.
 
When you're in the role of teacher, coach, or mentor, you're at your best.  You inspire and uplift others and believe in them.  They can always count on your full support and generosity.    

Saturn
You are attracted to those things in life which offer a guarantee of security, stability and continuity and the least amount of risk.  For the most part, you are willing to play the game of life according to the rules, for you like structure and respect tradition. You are hard working, productive, and prefer to stay with something over the long haul, building and developing upon the foundation which has been established.   

While you feel the weight of responsibility, you enjoy being in a position of authority and experience satisfaction as you achieve your goals.   You are capable of exercising economy and self-restraint in order to achieve goals and in order to achieve self-mastery.  You have high standards, can be exacting, and hard on yourself.   It's good to know when you've done enough so that you don't push yourself beyond what is necessary. 

You are learning how to parent yourself which also means cultivating self-acceptance, self-appreciation and self-love.  In fact it's a great idea to reward yourself often for all of the hard work and self effort you put forth by doing something which feels like play.  

Uranus
You may be the black sheep of your family, or at the very least, different from everybody else for you tend to march to a different drummer.  You eventually question authority and seek alternative paths to discover the Truth, while establishing a sense of freedom and independence along the way.  You place a high value on friendship and will often have quite an eclectic circle of friends.  You find it very challenging to compromise your personal beliefs but strive to meet others half way.  You are learning tolerance and acceptance of others and their beliefs.  

Accordingly, within your nature and interests, there are many ways in which you can experience the energies of Uranus, but at some point, you are likely to seek the experience of Universality through aligning with like minded others in a group environment, where you can truly be yourself but enjoy the experience of group activity working, with everyone working toward a common cause.  

You are open minded, have strong beliefs concerning fairness and equality and will often take a stand against injustice.  You are emotionally detached and favor partnership with individuals who are independent, self-reliant and offer you a great deal of freedom.  Nevertheless, you are inclusive and enjoy social activities. 

While you may establish yourself within the 'traditional' sector of the community as well as within the 'holistic' communities, you rarely look to the status quo for validation.   

Your ideas are original and creative and you do well to cultivate your own unique style and follow your dreams.   

Neptune
You are romantic, imaginative, visionary and impressionable.  You are service oriented, and really know what it's like to walk in another  persons shoes.  You are compassion and wise.    You find the rough edges of life to be a little much at times and create ways in which you can retreat or escape.  There is a need to balance your outer life by taking an equal amount of time to be alone and reflective.  Music is very soothing for you and you feel nurtured living near water.    

Finding the drive and ambition to succeed in professional activities in this fast paced, changing world is not always easy for you.  When you discover what you love to do, and your heart is truly in it, you can accomplish anything.  It's really your purpose, which you are seeking.  When you open yourself up to the sacred and the spiritual, you begin to make great strides in understanding your life journey. You will likely spend a part of your life in a quiet environment as you give yourself fully to your calling.  

When feeling separate from your source, your emotional sensitivity and introspection can lead to bouts of excessiveness and addiction.    

You are often interested in the occult and metaphysical studies for you are intuitive and attracted to the mystical experience.  You are happy when learning that which allows you align with your own inner wisdom and express your wisdom.  

Pluto
In your younger years, you may seek intense emotional experiences in order to feel alive, going after things with an 'all or nothing' kind of attitude.   When this involves relationships, it can be difficult to sustain this level of intensity.  You often mask your vulnerability by being in control or controlling.   When your drive and ambitions are well directed, you have incredible stamina and determination to achieve your goals.   

You are often attracted to power and are in fact, learning much about power when you have Pluto as your final dispositor.  If you carry 'power ' issues, you may attract others into your life who appear to have power over you, taking on the role of 'arbitrator', while you take on the role of 'victim'.  This scenario can create tremendous struggle and frustration, as you escalate between feeling powerful and powerless.  It may also serve the purpose of fueling your need to be right and to win. The real secret is in recognizing the power within yourself, and directing that toward your own self-transformation.  As you embark on this journey and work through your own psychological issues, you have the capacity to carry tremendous light and healing energy. 

Some people are challenged by your intensity, while others are attracted to you like a magnet.  You need to have purpose in your life so that you can fuel your inner fire, dive into the alchemic process and create something which you value.
