INTRODUCTION
It is most likely that every once in a while, you feel the world is like a theater stage on which
different plays are performed: tragedies, comedies, crime stories, now exciting, now amusing, now
boring you to tears. And whether you feel like it or not, you play along as best you can, now in
this role, now in that one, whichever the current situation happens to require.
If you turn your attention inside yourself, you discover that here too a kind of play is taking
place: On the stage of your soul, dialogues are being conducted, questions asked, wishes
expressed, beliefs declared, doubts raised. And all these oftentimes conflicting inner voices are
the living expression of your personality with all its varied facets. Some of the roles that you
play on the stage of life and some of your inner actors are consciously known to you, others are
not, and yet others you would indignantly reject as being no part of yourself.
If you wish to be in charge of your own life and to live at peace with yourself and the world,
however, there is no way to get around getting to know yourself and accepting all the elements of
your personality, even the difficult and embarrassing ones. Only in this way can you be certain
that you are not ruled by your unconscious, mechanically operating emotional reactions and not
doing things that you actually have no desire to do and that repeatedly cause you problems
without your knowing why. If you get into the habit of observing, rationally and without passing
judgment, the things that take place inside you and the roles that you play, you gain more and
more healthy distance to what is happening and you are able to take everything more calmly and
with more self-composure. The programs that used to run unconsciously can disintegrate when they
are brought into consciousness.
In the following paragraphs, you will now find a description of your basic objectives, tendencies
and behavior patterns as well as the role play you engage in and your innermost, typically
unconscious or undisclosed conflicts. The recommendations included in the text present you with
one possibility for reducing the tensions inherent in a specific constellation.
YOUR COLOR PROFILE FOR THE PLANETS
YOUR BEHAVIORAL PATTERNS
Objectives and Motivations
Based on the ranking of the planets receiving a high score, your objectives and the motivations
for your behavior can be described as follows:
With an alert mind, open eyes and pricked ears, you observe the world and always strive to become
acquainted with new things and to expand your horizon. You attain the knowledge, the information
and the contacts and relationships which bring you material or intellectual benefits. You also
seek anything which provides you with relief or an entertaining change of pace when you are
plagued by negative emotions.
You are outgoing and open, and you deal consciously with your personal development. Stimulating
contacts, instructive information, and relationships with the right people help you to develop
yourself and your talents to their utmost. However, this should take place in line with your own
needs, interests and standards.
A crisis-proof life, stable life circumstances, wealth and sensual pleasure are some of your life
goals. With tenacity, and true to your own firm principles, you try hard to create such a life
for yourself and for those who are close to you. You believe it important to be safe from the
tempests of life in order to be able to concentrate fully on the things that bring satisfaction.
You are convinced that your actions are always right. Neither difficulties, nor setbacks or
criticism are enough to pull you off your chosen path. Your willful attitude can also make you
blind towards good ideas from people who think differently than you.
When you want to achieve something important to you, you mobilize all your creativity and apply
all your energy and resources to overcome your difficulties. You display equally vigorous
dedication in standing your ground when someone tries to hamper or patronize you, or when someone
presents unreasonable or even unfair demands. You can go on the warpath against injustice even
when you don't suffer from it personally.
When you have set yourself a goal, you rush towards it full steam ahead, and you do what the
situation demands without ifs and buts.
You stake a claim for optimum quality of life as if it were your birthright; above all, to you
this means a carefree financial situation, sensual enjoyment, success and prestige as well as a
meaningful and fascinating job. If your ambition adequately spurs you on, you will achieve it
too, whether for yourself or - which would be even better - for other people as well.
When you plan to do something, you carry it through despite difficulties, obstacles or the
objections of others. You keep your eyes fixed steadily on your goal. Rough seas are no reason to
turn tail; instead, they are an incentive to keep an even tighter hold on the helm.
You want to be able to pursue your interests and activities in peace without being bothered by
anything or anyone. You are determined to ward off everything that might damage your physical or
emotional wellbeing. For this reason you critically examine people and things, and you
immediately notice where the problem lies and what or who does you no good.
Since your independence is important to you, you always preserve a personal space in which you
are free to feel comfortable and to relax without anyone interfering or bothering you in any
other way. This space can be your home, a corner at your workplace or even an activity you enjoy
spending time on.
Distress and Problems
The tendencies and modes of behavior which can cause you distress and problems can be described
on the basis of the ranking of planets with a low score. However, it cannot be deduced to which
degree you have become aware of and overcome your personal weaknesses, and consequently have
gained a deeper understanding of the problems of others. The following statements indicate what
you can do to improve your ability to move through life with fewer problems.
Although you are in touch with many people, you often feel lonely and left to look after
yourself. It pains and saddens you that even the people you are close to show little
understanding for your needs and little accommodation for your plans. Your need for loving
company and gentle physical contact is not satisfied to the degree you would like.
Due to the fact that you consider the things you do and wish to achieve to be important and
meaningful, you expect people to approve of your actions, to provide moral support or to give you
practical help. Your expectations are understandable but also quite egocentric; as a result
others may tend to remain at a distance.
You expect far too much kindness and cooperation from people. You believe that they ought to
anticipate your every wish and fulfill them as a matter of course.
You are often frustrated because in your view, you receive too little physical affection and you
experience too few erotic adventures and enjoyments. This can mislead you into seeking
consolation in other sensual pleasures or distracting yourself from your sense of lack through
overwork. At best, both can provide only temporary relief.
You quickly get worked up when something does not go according to your wishes. You are
particularly upset because the difficulties that may arise are usually not your fault.
When you have difficulties in your dealings with people, you have a tendency to withdraw.
Due to your sensitivity you often feel someone is hampering you, either because your wonderful
plans are crossed, because someone puts bothersome obstacles in your path or disturbs your life's
flow, or because someone drives you crazy in some other way. If you do not express your anger but
store up resentment instead, this can cause you harm in the long run.
It bothers you that you are often exposed to circumstances that you consider unacceptable. Since
you would like to appear strong and superior, you maintain your composure and stay outwardly
calm. Your resentment remains, however, and causes you at times to make a mountain out of a
molehill and to react too strongly when someone criticizes you.
You are driven by a sense of lack and by fears to consciously do something that can bring you the
desired satisfaction.
When you are burdened with serious difficulties, you placate yourself by saying: "No reason to be
afraid, I'll handle this alright!" You convince yourself you will get the situation under control
and manage it according to your interests. Behind this desire for power, however, lurks the fear
of being at the mercy of something or someone stronger than yourself. You can free yourself of
this fear by accepting it and by relinquishing your thirst for domination. From a realistic
standpoint, in the end we humans have nothing under control anyway.
Sometimes you find yourself confronted with difficulties that frighten you. Since you are unable
to overcome them immediately, you try to staunchly weather them. In doing so you consciously risk
overtaxing your strength.
You enjoy being someone special, whether this is reflected in your unusual viewpoints, behaviors
or special knowledge and skills or in your setting yourself apart from others. Although your
individualism does bring you attention, it also isolates you from people and puts you at risk of
losing their affection. Your egocentric attitude does nothing more than to provide you with an
illusory sense of self-worth, and it feeds your fears of being disliked and rejected.
You often have to struggle hard to achieve what you desire: you must overcome not only
difficulties but also the doubts and fears which you carry within you and which threaten to
dishearten you.
YOUR NEEDS
By combining your objectives and the motivations behind your behavior with your fears and the
indications of your underlying issues, it is possible to conclude that your psychological needs
are as follows:
No matter what happens, you insist that you are entitled to
securing your livelihood. The fear that you could suffer loss, damage or outright ruin sits deep
within you. For this reason you cling to supposed securities like possessions, status, ideas,
convictions, your partner and other such things.
A good deal of effort and intermittent success result from your pursuit of
recognition. It is important to you to be accepted, appreciated and recognized as competent by
people. For this reason you make an effort to have everything - even yourself - under control and
to be well informed in every situation and even to take on unpleasant tasks when necessary. You
believe you have to prove to yourself and others what you are capable of because your self-esteem
is fragile.
You invest a great deal of energy in the attainment of
an improvement in your situation. If problems are weighing you down too much, you by no means
hang your head over them, but you rather do and undertake quite a bit to rid yourself of them as
soon as possible. You set yourself a worthwhile goal and head for it without resting. Or you
throw yourself into an activity which satisfies you and distracts you from your worries.
Many of your actions are driven by the urge for
care and attention. It is very important to you that people understand you, agree with your
opinions and support your objectives. For this reason you enjoy cultivating friendships, and you
take care to foster harmony in your relationships.
Your behavior is often determined by your desire for
expanding your horizons. In your search for enjoyable and enriching experiences, you are always
open to contacts, light-hearted, entertaining get-togethers and interesting exchanges of ideas.
You strive to expand your horizons, to gain information, to increase your knowledge and also to
pass it on to others.
You have an exceptionally strong longing for
prosperity. You have an ambivalent relationship with money: Normally you have a very economical
approach and save where you can to keep hold of your money; but at times you are unexpectedly
generous in spending it because you also wish to enjoy it.
You also have a pronounced need for
freedom of action. It is very important to you to be able to make your own decisions regarding
what you do or don't do and how you behave. You want to apply your energies and skills in the
manner that seems most practical to you personally. For this reason you preserve a good degree of
independence and forcefully block any attempt by people to dictate to you.
Deeply embedded in your soul there is a yearning for
the enjoyment of life. The things that time and again entice and satisfy you and sometimes
console you in your frustration are sensual pleasures, be they exquisite tidbits, fine wine,
beautiful music or an erotic experience. At times you are quite aggressive in your attempts to
attain what you desire.
THE ROLES YOU PLAY
Your Color Horoscope indicates a variety of roles that you play on the stage of life. The
following section describes the role plays you engage in, as well as the motivations, objectives
and modes of behavior associated with it.
Winner
You want to carry through your plans at all costs, and you are little impressed when there are
obstacles to be cleared, when objections are expressed or a long-term effort is required. You
focus all your attention on your objectives and plans. For this reason you barely notice that
this vigorous activity is an attempt to escape your underlying fears. Your ambitious drive for
achievement brings you in danger of expecting too much of yourself and overtaxing yourself.
You are convinced of the rightfulness of the goals you have set for yourself, and you are
ambitious and determined: no wonder that you eventually overcome the obstacles in your path and
achieve what you were aiming at.
Ruler
The demand you make on yourself again and again is not exactly a modest one: You want to cope
with everything and be able to have it under control, whether this be utilitarian objects, work
methods, areas of knowledge or even the people you deal with. In the field in which you
concentrate your efforts, you are able to achieve an astonishing amount, and you may even land
yourself a position of influence. At the same time, however, you can stubbornly cling to an idea
or an objective and throw reasonable objections and recommendations to the winds. To your
disadvantage of course.
Your personal style of interaction, in other words, the manner in which you deal with and have an
impact on people, is typically as follows:
Looking for Support
Your desire for attention is great: You expect people to show concern for your needs and wishes,
that they agree with your ideas and plans and that they provide moral support when you are in
difficulty. You, on the other hand, do not pay a great deal of attention to their needs. This is
why you should not be surprised when your relationships are often dissatisfying and in no way run
as harmoniously as you would like.
You want to be able to do in peace the things that are close to your heart. In this way you
recuperate from the less pleasurable sides of daily life.
When a personal problem makes your life difficult, you do not want to let it discourage you;
instead you look for an opportunity to escape from the oppressive circumstances.
Oversensitive
You absolutely refuse to suffer from the improper behavior of certain people. When you find them
unpleasant, or when they get on your nerves, you resolutely retreat into your comforting private
space or into the world of your thoughts and fantasies. Kind attention and sympathetic support,
on the other hand, are exactly what cheer you the most and motivate you to go on.
Your basic life concept, in other words, the role which was impressed upon you by your genes and
your upbringing, or which you have adopted as a result of your own personal experiences, can be
described as:
Pillar of Strength
Due to the fact that you wish to be respected and admired by people, you take great pains to
overcome the difficulties under your own power and to remain steadfast even in threatening
situations without any outside help. This strong-willed attitude allows you to act independently
for the most part, but it may have the effect of leading even sympathetic and helpful people to
consider you too stubborn and to withdraw.
You want to be sure you are able to count on pleasant life circumstances, wellbeing and sensual
pleasure at all times.
You want to rule over, control and influence everything - including yourself and your fellow
human beings.
When burdened with difficulties, you convince yourself you will get everything under control.
Like all people, you are looking for a satisfactory resolution of your tasks and difficulties as
well as a compensation for the things you cannot do or have. The desired solution to your problem
or the corresponding role is:
Busy
Frightening or depressing events which you have repressed are embedded in your soul. You would
prefer not to face up to them, and you behave in a relaxed and carefree manner. In order to avoid
sinking into a depressive state, you devote yourself to activities which interest you and absorb
all your attention, or you distract yourself with pursuits which bring you joy or satisfaction:
an interesting exchange of ideas, stimulating readings or culinary enjoyments.
BACKGROUND
In conclusion, here is a description of those facets of your personality which can stand in the
way of your development into a free and happy person as long as you are not aware of them. You
hardly notice in you the presence of these intellectual and emotional patterns, nor do you
perceive their mode of action. Nevertheless, the effects they have on your life are usually not
to your advantage. Use the following interpretations as a working hypothesis for
self-exploration. The recommendations given for each postulate indicate alternative attitudes
which could possibly allow you to leave the old field of negative emotions behind.
Encouraging Yourself
When unfavorable circumstances threaten to hinder your personal development, you convince
yourself that you can overcome your difficulties with rigorous efforts.
Self-confidence is helpful as long as we soberly take consideration of the facts and we act with
care without thinking only of ourselves and disregarding people's needs and feelings.
Restless Spirit
Your intellectual faculties are usually in full operation: You reflect on what you have
experienced, you think about what you ought to do, and your thoughts jump from one to the other
or constantly revolve around the same thing.
The process of thought can be a useful servant, but it can also become a nuisance, and when it
does, there is only one solution: Change roles from the victim to the observer of your thoughts,
watch them without passing judgment as they come and go. When you practice this as a form of
meditation, it will calm your spirit.
Expecting Admiration
Since you find your behavior, abilities and achievements worthy of admiration, you expect a
suitable response of acknowledgment and applause.
Far more wonderful than your achievements is your true self, which is definitely loving and
deserving of love. Discover it inside yourself and your fellow humans; then you no longer need
ovations!
CONCLUSION
It's possible that now or on reading earlier statements in this analysis, you are thinking: "Now,
that really doesn't apply to me at all!" If the statement in question is positive, it is best
that you ask a friend whether or not it applies. The answer will be: "Yes, you are that way!" If,
on the other hand, it is an unflattering interpretation, then ask a person you don't get along
with well, and the answer will be: "Yes, unfortunately you are that way!"
Be that as it may, observe your behavior for a few days, and you will discover that though the
controversial statement may not apply to you generally, it does in particular situations. Over
time, you will recognize even more clearly the patterns and mechanisms which steer your behavior
and moods. But keep in mind: No actor is obliged to play the same role for a lifetime. Take a
look at your personal planet profile, and examine the short color columns representing the
planets with low scores. Of these colors, are there any which you don't like? If so, you can
carry out the following experiment: Get yourself a good-sized piece of paper or fabric (at least
20 x 20 cm) in this color. Relax and look at it for one or two minutes, close your eyes and
observe, without having any expectations, what is happening inside you. Repeat this experiment
over several days, or hang up the colored paper or fabric at your workplace, and rest your eyes
on it every now and then. In this way, the vibration this color sends out will be directly
absorbed by your unconscious mind, digested and integrated as a kind of emotional food. This
exercice can mitigate negative emotions and mechanisms and can transform them into positive
forces and modes of behavior over time.
About this Horoscope
This interpretation of the positions of the planets at the time of your birth is based on the
Astro-Color-System® developed by Johannes Schneider; in addition to the ten typical planets, this
system also includes the two minor planets Chiron and Vesta. In this system Chiron is considered
to rule the sign of Virgo and the sixth house of the horoscope; Vesta rules the sign of Taurus
and the second house. The twelve celestial bodies are awarded points based on their position in
the signs and the houses of the horoscope and on the aspects between them. These scores are used
to establish a ranking of the 12 celestial bodies, called the planet profile, and four subgroups,
called the basic structures. Since a typical color has been assigned to each of the celestial
bodies, this ranking can also be represented as a series of these twelve colors. As you can see
from the personal planet profile calculated for you, each planet has its assigned color above it;
the height of the colored column indicates the number of points awarded to the planet.
Together with 13 additional colors, these same colors form the basis of the psychological color
test Color-O-Scope®, which can be found
here under the name "Color Oracle".The colors you select in the test indicate your current behaviors and
problems, while the astrological analysis of your birth constellation describes your personality.
The combination of these two interpretations makes it possible for you to compare your present
situation with your intrinsic nature and to see which facets of your personality you are
currently living out and which you are not. This comprehensive insight is entirely new within
astrology and is impossible to achieve with any conventional method.
