Welcome to Life Paths_Link

Welcome to Life Paths Page 3Copyright © 2012 Matrix Software

Welcome to 'Life Path' astrology, a personal report about finding Aleister'svocation, the right path for him to succeed in life. Making a living, makingour way through life, is something that each of us has to do and we don'talways know what we really want to do until we find it. Many of us end upworking at a job we did not really choose and for which we might not be allthat well suited for or that will not make us all that happy.

Perhaps we have been educated, learned this or that particular skill, andalready have some idea what we are good for and can do. We may or maynot have had this or that kind of schooling or training, but that does notautomatically mean that what we are doing for a living now is the only thingwe can do or that we will be all that fulfilled doing it. What is Aleister reallygood for? How might he be best put to use in this life? What would Aleisterbe actually happy doing? These are the kind of questions that this reportcan be helpful at answering.

Astrology provides another look at Aleister's vocational options, regardlessof what he already thinks of himself or is doing for work, a second opinionand fresh take. The Life Path Report is designed to describe the basic roleAleister tends to take on in life, his overall approach to work in this world,and how he might be most useful to himself and others. Being useful, beingused in a way that is satisfying is one of the main keys to happiness. Thisreport is designed to help put Aleister in touch with his own core abilitiesand to sketch out an approach to work that should be natural for him.

You might ask: how can astrology, which links what is happening out therein the heavens with what is happening down here on earth possibly beuseful in vocational matters? The answer to that question might well takean entire book, but let me try to give you some understanding of theapproach taken in this report.

The Heavenly Kaleidoscope_Link

The Heavenly Kaleidoscope Page 4Copyright © 2012 Matrix Software

The orderly movement of the planets around our Sun create an ever-changing, almost kaleidoscopic, series of patterns in the heavens which areactually quite beautiful. It is not that these patterns dictate or influence whattakes place in our lives down here on Earth, but rather that the entirecosmos, the heavens and our Earth, are part of one time and space, onegreat cosmic dance. When some major planetary pattern forms out there inthe heavens, something similar is happening down here in our lives as well.We are part of whatever is going on out there. We are inside it. It is all oneuniverse we share, and somehow we are in synch here on earth with whatis taking place out there. We all are dancing to the same tune.

This is even clearer if we look at an astrological chart of the patterns in theheavens at the moment of Aleister's birth. We see that all of the heavenlypatterns taking place up there can be boiled down to form a few generalarchetypes (I call them StarTypes) that we can recognize. These StarTypesare associated with certain qualities that individuals here on earth have andact out in day-to-day life. The "Life Path Report" is based on interpretingthese patterns for a particular birth, patterns which can help describe howto approach life. It is Aleister's StarType patterns that are being interpretedhere.But this report may also require an effort to read between the lines and takewhat can be general observations and apply them to Aleister's particularsituation.

Note: At the very end of this report is a section on understanding thedifferent types of StarType patterns. In some sections of this report, theywill be referred to by name of the configuration (i.e. The Grand Trine), andalso by their colored borders: green, red, blue, and rose. So please refer tothat section for more details.

Aleister's chart has what we call a "Hands-on" StarType, one that oftenexcels working with people as a part of a team. For example, Aleister mightbe currently working in a managerial position, which is traditionally moreisolated. This can be read in more than one way. It might suggest that hewould be happier in a non-management position, or it could also suggestthat he is doing more people-like and teamwork-oriented activities in themanagement job that he now has. In other words, while the Life Path reportwill show inclinations, it is up to each of us to see how those inclinationscan be applied.

This is primarily a vocational report rather than a personal profile, but a briefnatal description is included later on, so you may want to consult that. Herewe will be describing Aleister's overall approach to life and work.

Next, let's take a look at the general or overall approach that Aleister takesto life. Here we are not trying to get down to specifics as much as we wantto give a broad sketch of the role he might take in life as regards making aliving.

With vocational analysis, a lot depends on the role we play in theworkplace, and today's work environment traditionally has been dividedroughly into several types. The most common division in the modernworkplace is between the manager or supervisor types (organizational,mental, managerial, etc.) and the workforce (hands-on, take-directions,production) types.And in between management and the workforce, there is a third type, whathas been called the mid-level manager or independent type. These are themediators or go-betweens for both the Manager and Hands-On types, andthey often serve as the mouthpiece for either the workers or formanagement. Using this traditional division, first let's see what general worktype is for Aleister's chart:

Page 6: Astrological Profile for: Aleister Crowley by Michael Erlewine

Your Vocational StarType_Link

Your Vocational StarType Page 6Copyright © 2012 Matrix Software

Aleister has a "Hands-on" StarType, which puts him into the "worker" orworkforce category, those who actually get the job done. Aleister can takedirection and put the pedal to the metal. While the more managerialStarTypes tend to be cool, calculating, and somewhat distant, the "Hands-on' StarType is always right in the center of the action, often well-loved byhis teammates, and someone who often demands and usually gets lots ofattention from those around him. And this is as it should be, for Aleistertends to be warm and for the most part gregarious. He can exude charmand is often the centerpiece of any group. Aleister is a people person.

Aleister's particular type is usually popular and people love to be with himbecause he is not self-conscious, insists on having fun, and he pretty muchguarantees you a good time. If you are in trouble and need advice, seek outthe cooler, more intellectual StarTypes, but if you want a dinner partner orjust to have some fun, grab one of these hands-on types like Aleister, forthat is when the fun starts.

As mentioned, Aleister is above all a "people" person, and he likes to getright in there and work a crowd, glad-handing with the best of them. Heradiates charisma and can shine in almost any setting. Of course, thisStarType makes the best salesmen, because he sells himself just by beingwith you. Who can resist? And his type is so very watch-able. This does notmean he always has the best visuals, but regardless of how he looks, he ismagnetic and charismatic. He shines, and everyone just loves to be aroundhim and to spend time with him.

Lest we think that life is all roses for Aleister, let's touch on his darker side.For all his social-ness, he can be very private and guards his privacy. Hedoes not like to be crowded and really hates to be boxed in. Perhapsbecause of this he is always in such demand, Aleister is in his own way abit claustrophobic.

And these 'hands-on' StarTypes like Aleister tends to worry about theirintelligence, perhaps because he is so simple and direct in his appeal. Hefeel everyone loves him for his shine and sparkle, but not for his intellect.There is some truth to that, of course, and this can be somewhat of aproblem for this type, because he hates to appear stupid. In fact, he oftenwill go to great lengths to study and go to school, collecting learningdegrees, diplomas, and whatever makes him appear more refined andsophisticated. Aleister's StarTypes likes fine and frilly things, and is quick toput on airs, to appear more sophisticated then he, in fact, is. This can be alifelong problem.

And he can at times lack awareness. He tends to see the trees, but notalways the forest. Aleister can have real problems grasping the big pictureand sometimes is wise to seek out the advice of the managementStarTypes, who can give him direction, and help him to better see where heis going in life.In dynamic relationship roles, ones that involve real interaction, Aleister'sStarType inevitably takes the part of the workers, those that need lookingafter. These are high maintenance types, so do take note.

Aleister is a rare bird, of great value to any company or venture. First, he iswarm and charismatic to be around. People naturally like him and verymuch enjoy being with him, spending time with him. Here is a hands-on,intuitive, feel-your-way-along person, who has an innate sense of thingsand savvy that is the envy of others. More important perhaps, he can havean enormous effect on any project or group he plays a part in, and is a kindof natural stimulus for others, like a kind of an idea wishing-well. He is avaluable team member and worker. Aleister thinks with his heart, not hishead. Contact with Aleister can produce real and important changes in howa project will go.Aleister can be very stubborn and almost impossible to move off a position.While brilliant intuitively, he may have problems with higher-levelmanagement, in particularly with planning, seeing the big picture inadvance, scooping out the future. Aleister tends to be warm andgregarious, but not always thoughtful and considerate.

In the Workplace Page 8Copyright © 2012 Matrix Software

In these next two sections, we will first consider how Aleister fits into theworkplace and then some more personal observations. What we will pointout here is something about Aleister's talents and how they might relate tovarious career approaches.

Synopsis:Aleister is warm, gregarious, and friendly, the life of the party, and theobject of attention much of the time - a people person.

The SeedPros: Aleister is a rare bird, of great value to any company or venture. First,he is warm and charismatic to be around. People naturally like him and verymuch enjoy being with him, spending time with him. Here is a hands-on,intuitive, feel-your-way-along person, who has an innate sense of thingsand savvy that is the envy of others. More important perhaps, he can havean enormous effect on any project or group he plays a part in, and is a kindof natural stimulus for others, kind of an idea wishing-well. Contact withAleister can produce real and important changes in how a project will go.He is a valuable team member and worker.

Cons: Aleister is very stubborn and almost impossible to move off aposition. While brilliant intuitively, he has problems with higher-levelmanagement, in particularly with planning, seeing the big picture inadvance, scooping out the future. He tends to be warm and gregarious, butnot always thoughtful and considerate.

With Co-workersAleister is warm and gregarious, one who is at home in a group setting, andvery much a one-on-one touchy-feely person. He is very much relationshiporiented and, due to his innate warmth and friendliness, tends to need (andget) a lot of attention. Aleister is one of those "in the moment' people, wholives for today, and probably does not look too far toward the future. He hassuperb intuition, almost a psychic sense when it comes to picking the wheatfrom the chaff, getting to what is important.

Notes: Aleister tends to be stubborn and hard to budge on issues, takes lifeone thing at a time, and probably has trouble grasping the big picture. He isa high maintenance type, meaning he requires a lot of attention and is usedto being cared for, rather than being the more caring one.

What About Money?_Link

What About Money? Page 9Copyright © 2012 Matrix Software

A question all of us want and need to know is just how are we going tocome by success and will we have any money? What follows consists ofsimple answers to a few basic questions and then a kind of quick summaryof Aleister's money making opportunities. "Dumb Luck" means you are justplain lucky and things fall into your lap. "Social Money" indicates that youcan or will get money through your people connections and social skills."Hands-on-Money" suggests that you make your money the old-fashionedway, by hard work, practical effort and ideas, and "Mind Money" points tomaking money and being successful by using your mind and intellectualgifts. None of this is written in stone, but in general, these factors points tohow you may best be able to be successful and generate income.

Dumb Luck:Yes, naturally lucky.

Social Money:Yes.

Hands-on Money:At times, yes.

Mind Money:No.

Aleister is just naturally lucky and quite liable to fall into money or findmoney and wealth coming his way. And that is not all. He may alsogenerate money through contacts and rubbing shoulders with those whoalready have wealth and connection. Aleister will find that his natural charmand charisma can bring him into the circles where he can be successful.However, money through concepts and mental ideas (the mind) wouldprobably be a risk.

Now, putting career and workplace to the side, let's look at Aleister'spersonal makeup, how he might approach friendships and romanticrelationships, plus something about his overall approach to life.

First: Aleister is a rare bird. This StarType seldom comes up, and it isprobably the single most useful (and used) of them all, he should prepare tobe accessed. Folks like Aleister are born with information somehowembedded in their very physical fabric, information of enormous use toothers, and the world they find themselves living in. He is one of these andthe keyword for this StarType is 'seminal,' so take note. Aleister's influencewill be felt by everyone who comes to know him and almost everything hetouches will bring results, but not always for him, personally,

And this too is important: Aleister's gifts doesn't depend on what he thinksor says, not even in how he appears or what he does. Think about that for amoment. It is what we ARE that is important and the information (if we cancall it that) that Aleister carries embedded in his very genes and self.Aleister has only to make himself available and helpful to others for them,and whatever they represent, to benefit and take advantage of what hecarries locked in his makeup. Sounds like a sci-fi film, right? Sorry. Let metry to say it more simply:

Aleister communicates, by his very nature and presence, information andideas that activate and stir up the general process of life - start things. Think"catalyst." From contact with him, ideas arise and come into the mind andthus (eventually) into being through mere proximity to him. Again: this isnon-verbal. It does not matter if Aleister is nice or not nice. It just happens.He is a catalyst.

Relationships are not only important to Aleister, but are of crucialimportance. By nature, he is intuitive (perhaps even psychic at times), verymuch feeling his way along and through life by using his gut sense, andwhatever hunches he may have.

Another way of saying this is: Aleister sees the trees way more than theforest. He hungers to get more perspective and to better grasp the "bigpicture." To help with this, relationships come to the rescue. Since he isstrong in intuition and natural savvy, he would benefit from partners thatcan bring him some of the overall perspective that he likes, in particular thegreen StarTypes, like #5 and #60. But any green type will probably bringsome benefit.

Page 11: Astrological Profile for: Aleister Crowley by Michael Erlewine

The Natal Chart Aleister Crowley

The Natal Chart Page 11Copyright © 2012 Matrix Software

Relating with these green StarTypes, perhaps even working closely withthem, in a business or personal way can help Aleister develop better overallvision, perspective into his life, his capabilities, and what best to do with hislife - what route to take.

Intuitive to the point of tunnel vision, Aleister's sense of whether things feelright or wrong is profound. Everyone who knows him benefits from thisnatural instinct for the truth, and he exerts a seminal influence on all hecomes in contact with.

The price he pays for this gift, is that he sometimes gets lost in the trees,and can't see the forest, or he has trouble seeing the big picture andremembering what this life he is living is all about.

Therefore Aleister can benefit from the more pure types of 'The Lover'StarType, in particular the Grand Trine and the Kite, who will help him tobetter understand what he is going through, who he is, and to perhapsguide him in day-to-day decisions. Look for the Grand Trine pattern, whichis the large green triangle.

As for the blue-bordered cards, keep in mind that they have the qualities ofboth the red-bordered and the green-bordered cards within their makeup.When relating to them, Aleister will want to invoke the care-giving andadvice giving aspect of them. He will call out the lover in them, with himbeing the loved one that they care for.

KEYWORDSBeyond words.Innate intuition.

Non-verbal.

A seminal influence.

The Loved One.

Charismatic.

Center of Attention.

Intuitive.

Chart Summary_Link

Chart Summary Page 12Copyright © 2012 Matrix Software

There is no use in just offering a list of professions, like: butcher, baker,candlestick maker, because even each of those professions has all kinds oflevels and functions. For example, I could say to you that the 'baking'industry would be a good bet for a person. But in that industry, there are allkinds of job functions aside from just kneading the bread. Aside from thebread makers, there are the fine pastry makers, the oven experts,wholesalers, retailers, salespersons, and so on all connected to the bakingprofession.Instead, in here we will concentrate on some general skills Aleister has thatcan be applied to any industry or profession. For example, is Aleister betterat using his mind or would he rather be physically involved working closelywith people and things? Is Aleister analytically inclined or more creative andintuitive?

Getting the Most_Link

Getting the Most Page 19Copyright © 2012 Matrix Software

This report is designed to offer a second opinion, an alternate look at thetalents Aleister has and what kind of approach to work and career might bemost natural for him regardless of what he may have trained for or currentlybe doing.

What he reads here may provide a somewhat different approach to careerthan Aleister has envisioned for himself, so take time to let it all sink in.Keep in mind that a career is more than just a job. A career is a life-path,literally the path or way each of us goes through our life, and it can make allthe difference if we are doing something that resonates with our naturaltalent, that uses us as we like to be used, as opposed to working at a jobthat goes against our natural grain.

Sometimes a simple adjustment in approach can make the differencebetween the happiness of a successful and happy career and a job forwhich we are not suited and was never meant for us in the first place. It ismy sincere hope that this Life Path Report may provide information that ishelpful in evaluating and making career decisions.

StarType Families_Link

About StarTypes Page 20Copyright © 2012 Matrix Software

StarTypes analysis excels in vocational and relationship analysis and itcan be useful to know something about each of the four most commonrelationship roles that StarType covers, these roles indicated by the red,green, blue, and rose-colored borders of the StarType cards. Let's goover the basic relationship types.

First let's make sure that we are clear about what we mean byrelationship, and this holds true for all relationships: lovers, friends, not-so-friends, co-workers, and even not-so-friends..

Any relationship of two persons, given time, usually resolves itself intoone of four main general styles or types, in which each partner in therelationship takes on a particular role. Of course, the two classic roles arethat of the "Lover" and the "Loved One," as in Romeo is the lover andJuliet is the object of his love or loved one. A more modern way of sayingthis might be that in most relationships, someone picks up the dirty socks(lover or caretaking role) and someone lets the socks lay there (loved oneor taken-care-of role). StarType analysis is quite accurate at showing youahead of time who is likely to be the Lover and who the Loved One. Tomake it easier, we use four colors to mark the four major types ofrelationships:

Green: The LoverGREEN: The green-bordered cards represent "The Lover" StarTypefamily. They take on the role of the lover, the observer and annotators,and the caretaker of the relationship.

Examples of classic green-bordered StarType patterns include the GrandTrine (#60), Kite (#5), Basket (#21), Wedge (#2), Mystic Rectangle (#4),and others.

Page 24: Astrological Profile for: Aleister Crowley by Michael Erlewine

About StarTypes Aleister Crowley

About StarTypes Page 21Copyright © 2012 Matrix Software

Red: The Loved OneRED: The red-bordered StarType cards are reserved for the "Loved One"family, the ones who are watched, cared for, and observed. These are theStarTypes with all the charisma. They like attention and usually take onthe role of the watched - the Loved One.

Examples of classic red-bordered cards include the T-Cross or T-Square(#1) and the Grand Cross (#3).

Blue: IndependentBLUE: Some chart patterns have both roles in a single natal chart, therole of the Lover and the Loved One. When both qualities ("Loved One"and "Lover") appear in the same chart, these are the "Independent"StarTypes, and their borders are blue. They can go both ways. In somerelationships they take on the role of the Lover, but in others they assumethe role of the Loved One. They are somewhat self-contained.

Examples of classic blue-bordered cards include T-Cross & Grand Trine(#7), Grand Cross & Grand Trine (#12), T-Cross & Wedge (#10), andothers.

Rose: Multi-relationshipROSE: And last, there is a small group of StarTypes that demand a lot ofcontact and relations, called appropriately the "Multi-" or Many-Relationships" StarTypes, which have rose colored borders.

Examples of classic rose-bordered cards include Within-a-Trine (#36) andWithin-180 (#38).
