Birth Chart Report for Amelia Earhart

By Stephanie Johnson · Bronze Edition

Your Sun Sign

Sun in Leo

Having your Sun in Leo, a fixed fire sign, suggests the traits of being constant, enduring and warm-hearted. Fixed fire conjures up the image of a fireplace, a location where the power of fire can be contained, whether raging in a hearth or softly twinkling on a candle. Like this metaphor you have the ability to emanate warmth, personality and charisma when your passionate feelings are tempered and focused. These fires are your creativity and your creative act is to explore and discover the self. Being affectionate, tender and hospitable, you are endowed with the spirit of generosity.

Being loyal and protective are your strong virtues. You demonstrate this through your allegiance to those you befriend and a fidelity to those you love. Astrologically Leo is associated with the heart, a central focus in the body. Therefore your focus is the heart and you have the ability to radiate warmth for yourself and others in your atmosphere. Anias Nin suggested that when she cast her own warmth around her it was reflected in others, a great truism for Leo.

As the archetypal father, king of the pride or queen of the parade you'll often find the archetypal Lion at the centre, on the seat of power. While you might fantasise it is a throne, it is more likely that yours will be the teacher's seat at the head of the class, the director's stool in front of the action or the psychiatrist's chair opposite your client. Your vocation inspires others to become their true self, encouraging them to be creative and playful. You can embody both the serious and the playful professional. Ironically while you can be dignified and powerful, you also have a healthy inner child who balances the serious sides of life with amusement and frivolity. It is your lion heart, who best know how to play, find amusement in the humourless, and irreverence in formality. Therefore while you might aspire to greatness you don't want to be precious. Wisdom without humour, truth without wit or status without integrity is antithetical to your nature.

While you are responsive to others, in your own heart you know that you cannot remain true to others without first being true to yourself. You instinctually know that being true and constant begins with it the difficult task of creating an honest relationship with yourself. This often means you need to be candid about your vulnerabilities, sincere about your fears and straightforward about your motives. Hence your honour in being genuine allows you to shine. Your heroic journey begins with acts of self-disclosure, a vulnerable act that softens your heart to express love easily and authentically. Again Anias Nin described this truth when she remarked that when you possess light within you will be able to see it externally. The possession of the heart light is your gift but its great virtue is keeping it alight through acts of loyalty and fidelity. To find your vitality and spirit and to feel soulful in the world you need to strive to find creativity, generosity, joy, loyalty, affection, and optimism in your occupation.

Your Moon Sign

Moon in Gemini

With your Moon in Gemini, you need to be stimulated and mobile. Your need for variety, change and as little routine as possible is important in order for you to feel motivated and switched on. Quite naturally you often are involved in many tasks at the same time and have an uncanny ability to be able to apply yourself to each one without losing your momentum. Being quick and agile you make connections very easily, thinking best when you are on the move or in between two places. Just as you are crossing the road, answering the mobile or falling asleep is when you have your best ideas. Therefore it is important for your vocation to have flexibility and fluidity in managing your time and output as well as the freedom to communicate. You naturally prefer a range of tasks; at heart you are a born communicator and messenger with an abundance of ideas.

From an early age you were mobile and talkative off to explore the sights of sounds of the surrounding neighbourhood. Curious and inquisitive you wanted to report what you saw. Instinctively you are a reporter and at some time might have given thought to becoming a journalist, writer, lecturer, secretary, postal worker, teacher, or translator. While your path might have meandered in another direction, your soul needs to communicate and connect. So if you are bored or restless at work this may be a sign that you are not following your true calling and that you need to re-consider your career options. You love to learn in your own way and figure things out. Soul can express itself through your hands making you a natural at drawing, graphics, playing the guitar or piano, or using them to heal. While it is not easy to express your feelings you need to find the venue for their expression in the everyday through words and images.

If you are drawn to the nurturing professions then your Moon in Gemini would lean towards both learning and care, such as in speech therapy, teaching, NLP, teaching, improving memory.

Your Rising Sign

Ascendant in Leo

When you Ascendant is in the Zodiac Sign of Leo then you’re usually assured of your own purpose in life. You're charming, generous and ambitious, enjoying a sense of autonomy in all that you do. You're adept at organising your own life, and enjoy the independence. Your main lesson is the right use of power. You have a lot of charisma and other people listen to you. You need to make sure that there is substance behind the charisma so that you head in the right direction and lead others in a way that benefits them. You are well aware of your own worth, and can help others determine their sense of well-being. You are also well aware of the way that money can be used to validate self-worth. Money may equate power in many of society’s social and political circles, but is this the right use of money? You have a vital and sunny nature and can achieve much good in the world as long as you are not focussed only on your own will. Your purpose is to learn to use your strength of character and strong will power in a positive and powerful manner. This way you can benefit others emotionally, spiritually and materialistically. A loving and generous use of money will help you stay on the right path to personal fulfilment. If you find yourself caught up in power battles over money then think of how much it would cost you to walk away. Ultimately your goal is to use your creativity. A creative or artistic alternative may provide more joy than continuing to battle over materialistic matters. With your Leo Ascendant you could use this affirmation from “Creating Money – Keys to Abundance”by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer “I create money and abundance through joy, aliveness, and self-love”

Planets in Signs

Mercury in Leo

The planet Mercury in the zodiac sign of Leo indicates that you're enthusiastic in your quest for knowledge, and generous in sharing all that you've learnt even though it's sometimes to a somewhat reluctant audience. Mostly others enjoy listening to your creative story-telling talents, and find themselves enthralled by your lively communication. You may even find yourself on the stage during some time in your life. You do like the sound of our own voice. And why not? You're proud of your learning abilities, and believe in the saying that learning is fun. Your enthusiasm can be contagious. You can be creative in your thought process, and have an appreciation of the arts. You can also enjoy conversing with children. While it's true that you're an enthusiastic communicator, it's also true that your mind often turns to thoughts of your own ambitions. You're confident in your ability to communicate with others, and know that this trait could push you into a leadership role. As long as you keep your tendency to be a know-it-all under check, then you should succeed.

Venus in Gemini

With Venus in the sign of Gemini you're curious and flirtatious, and enjoy intellectual relationships with exchanges of ideas. Communication within a relationship is of utmost importance. You need to be on the same intellectual wave-length as your partner. It's not necessary that you agree on all subjects, but you must be able to openly and easily talk about everything. For this reason you also enjoy writing letters and notes, talking frequently on the phone and taking part in any other method of keeping the communication lines open on a daily basis. If you find yourself in a relationship which doesn't stimulate you mentally, you become bored and restless. It's also possible that you find yourself in the position of having to decide between two potential partners. You can be quite flirtatious, so perhaps you'll not want to decide but simply to enjoy two lovers. While this has its obvious excitement, it could also prove difficult in the long-run if you've to make a decision. When it comes to money matters, you also enjoy stimulation. You've many money-making schemes, and may dabble in the stock market. You may earn your money from two separate sources.

Mars in Virgo

The planet Mars in the sign of Virgo indicates that you're a shrewd person and will pursue your personal desires in a practical and methodical manner. You have a strong drive for perfection, and can often be found organising and re-arranging your environment in order that you live life more efficiently. You're keen to employ schedules and routines to help you run your daily life. It's also true that you find it difficult to cope if your routines are disrupted, and you have little patience for less-organised people. In fact you can be quite critical and judgmental, believing your methods to be the most practical and efficient, superior to other people's efforts. You don't suffer fools gladly and need to be careful to curb the perfectionist side of your nature. In some cases your interest is likely to be sparked by scientific pursuits, in particular medicine, but generally any science or research could be pursued. You prefer to be able to pursue your own interests without interference from other people and can systematically remove anyone who stands in your way. While this may sound harsh, it's true that you possess a vengeful side of your nature if opposed.

Jupiter in Virgo

You've the planet Jupiter in the zodiac sign of Virgo in your birth chart indicating that you have a strong desire to be of service to humanity in a practical manner because you're a methodical and matter-of-fact person. It's not that you don't have high religious or spiritual ideals, because you do. It's simply that you're prudent and down-to-earth in the manner in which you would like to see these ideals manifested. You've a materialistic view of life and are adept at working towards your goals. You're likely to rise above your station in life through success in business, speculative dealings, gains through investments and professional recognition. You're cautious and not easily influenced by other people. In fact you're very careful in your choice of acquaintances, and count very few people as your friends. However, those who can count you as a friend are indeed fortunate because you're discreet and loyal. It is possible that your friends are students of occult studies. When you travel it is more likely to be for business than for pleasure, reflecting the practical side of your nature. In some forms of astrology the planet Jupiter is considered to be in an ill-favoured position in the sign of Virgo, meaning that you should be wary of being too smug and covetous of the material side of life.

Saturn in Scorpio

The planet Saturn in the sign of Scorpio signifies that you're an acquisitive individual who likes to be able to work independently towards your own goals in life. You're a resourceful and determined worker and have an intense commitment to work and joint enterprises, in particular those which help you acquire extra resources. You're a shrewd operator and may enjoy speculating on the stock market or dabbling in property investments. Wins and losses can be experienced in speculation, no matter how clever your tactics. It's also possible that your profession may be linked to property management or brokering. You're protective of your assets and do not take easily to other people standing in your path. As a result you're often at loggerheads with other people at work and home. You can be tenacious in your efforts to achieve your ambitions. You may also have friends in high places who can lend a helping hand. When faced with ongoing problems you can be quite sudden in your resolutions, taking other people by surprise. This can also be because you're a secretive person, often making plans without other people's advice or knowledge. Secret liaisons can add intrigue to life, but you need to be wary of secret love affairs which could land you in a lot of trouble.

Uranus in Scorpio

The planet Uranus was in the sign of Scorpio from 1975 - 1981. It's important to note that Uranus spends a long time in each sign, and therefore the interpretation applies to a generation rather than the individual. For a more individual interpretation you need to look at the house position of Uranus in your chart. Uranus in the sign of Scorpio indicates that you belong to a generation which experiences highly-charged emotions and transformation in their lives. This generation holds many innovative ideas about change, and will need to call on these in order to transform the way in which the world uses its resources. This is the generation which will tackle the problems inherited from the past. It's likely that this generation will experience a world-wide upheaval during their lifetime.

Neptune in Gemini

The planet Neptune was in the sign of Gemini from 1887 - 1902. It's important to note that Neptune takes about 164 years to make a complete cycle, spending about thirteen years in each sign, and therefore the interpretation applies to a generation rather than the individual. For a more individual interpretation you need to look at the house position of Neptune in your chart. Neptune in the sign of Gemini indicates that you belong to a generation which can develop intuition and has the ability to learn, write, teach and disseminate compassion and spiritual understanding.

Pluto in Gemini

The planet Pluto was in the sign of Gemini from 1884 - 1914. It's important to note that Pluto takes about 248 years to make a complete cycle, spending 12 - 32 years in each sign, and therefore the interpretation applies to a generation rather than the individual. For a more individual interpretation you need to look at the house position of Pluto in your chart. Pluto in the sign of Gemini suggests that you belong to a generation of inventions, and major breakthroughs in knowledge. People born in this generation were subject to new discoveries with worldwide ramifications.

Chiron in Scorpio

Intense events and experiences involving grief may be part of your journey towards wholeness. Although emotionally painful, ultimately these events will bring healing on the very deepest levels. Sexual intimacy can be fraught with issues too, but will also replenish the inner recesses of your soul. Your wounds are likely to open you to powerful processes of transformation and lead you to investigate the nature of the psyche. You might become interested in psychology and be gifted as a healer. Feeling powerless, money worries, sexual problems or intimacy issues, or problems with reproductive organs, colon, bladder, or the lower back region, can be signals that it is time to explore your own psyche.

There might be some unresolved issues from the past, perhaps from childhood that you need to explore from time to time. Undertaking psychotherapy, or some other form of emotional healing might be the very thing that sets you on a path towards helping others in the same way. Because you are sensitive, you tend to hide your vulnerability and pain behind a strong persona, but you are a survivor.

You are likely to be drawn towards exploring life's mysteries. As you delve within, you will discover untold riches. Getting in touch with your emotions and feelings might be painful, but it will prove ultimately rewarding. Your soul will be replenished and your world will be transformed. Let go of the past, for it may be holding you back.

Part of your journey through life will take you on a profoundly powerful process that will ultimately prove rewarding, for it will lead you to a new beginning, where you will be empowered and more fully in touch with your emotional centre.

Psychotherapy, detoxifying, past life regression, colonic irrigation, relaxation techniques, meditation, hypnotherapy, or dream work, are powerful mediums that you might explore.

Planets in Houses

Sun in 12th House

The progressed Sun moves slowly through the houses. The twelfth house of your chart is currently emphasized indicating that you are working behind the scenes on something significant. This could mean that you are going through a more introspective phase, contemplating the universe. On the other hand it could indicate that you are spending many hours concentrating on a particular long-term project. Perhaps you have a sense that you are preparing for greater things? If so, look to see when your Sun progresses into your first house. This is when your life is likely to turnaround.

Moon in 10th house

The Moon is in your 10th house, suggesting that you bring the realm of feelings, sensitivity and emotion to your profession. In classical astrology the Moon was associated with the public. Combining this with the lunar need to nurture, the vocations that are associated with the 10th house Moon are health care professions, social work, family counselling or therapy, nursing and involvement in the public service. Other professions which deal with the public, also ruled by the Moon are chefs, bakers and brewers, waiters, other occupations dealing with food and agriculture, the food industry, including catering, hotel management and promotion.

Besides the public, the moon is symbolic of women and women's issues. Therefore the Moon in the 10th house is also representative of professions concerning women's rights, health care and social services. Specialized medical areas such as gynaecology or specific issues of infertility, pregnancy, hormonal changes and rites of passage could play a role vocationally.

The Moon is also concerned with the home and is associated with a range of professions dealing in home services such as real estate, products for the home, home design and building (with a personal touch), domestic services, home services, furniture, antiques and making the home secure and safe. The mothering and nurturing side of the Moon is involved in the professions concerning the care of children, such as day care workers, teachers, early childhood educators, counsellors, family care providers, obstetricians, midwifery, and paediatricians. With this placement all these professions could be considered for a fulfilling career.

Astrological statistics have linked the Moon to the profession of writers, perhaps in a broader sense because this profession uses the right side of the brain and works in an imaginative way. Professionals such as writers, songwriters, poets, playwrights, artists, scriptwriters, novelists and creative journalists are under the spell of the Moon and may find creative writing an important part of their vocation. What is of importance is that you feel at home with your career and are able to use your strong perceptive and intuitive nature in your work.

Mercury in 1st House

Sharpen your intellectual sword because you are going to need it. Communications, contracts, merchandise and anything connected with your mind and wit are coming to the forefront. You may have been contemplating many areas of your life in the past but now you are gaining understanding. As a result spoken and written projects may begin. You may also embark on short journeys that keep you busy, demand your skills and encourage you out of your habitual modus operandi. There is no rush but you may find yourself juggling quite a few balls during this new phase of your life. If you have a bright wit and intellect then you are likely to sparkle. Quick wit and repartee, accompanied with substance, will take you far. You may also decide to study or learn a new skill which in turns propels you onto a different path.

Venus in 11th House

The focus gradually shifts to your friends and social interests during this phase. If you are single then you are likely to enjoy this time whether partying with friends, or taking part in quieter or more serious pasttimes. If you are married then communication is the key to you being able to pursue your own hopes, dreams and wishes without jeopardising the intimacy of your primary relationship. Perhaps you could both share some new interests, or agree to pursue activities of your own. A strong relationship is likely to thrive on the renewed stimulation that comes from external sources. If you have been living a more independent lifestyle then you may find your focus shifting to groups, clubs and causes that require you to work more closely with others. The idea is that external stimuli from friends, clubs and community can provide much pleasure during this phase.

Mars in 2nd house

Masculine Mars is in your 2nd house, the sector that reveals your potential earning power and what you value. Planets in the 2nd house are the forces that mould your sense of worth and value. Considering the Martian presence in your life can help you understand your authentic attitude towards money and possessions. Mars values independence, therefore you probably prefer to earn your own living and pay your own bills rather than relying on others to provide. You would probably also chose to be self-employed or at least do your own thing if given the choice. As a warrior you prefer to fight your own battles rather than someone else's. You value your independent spirit and want to put it to work. Quite common with this placement are individuals who earn their living in trades such as electricians, fitters and turners, builder or carpenters where there is goal and deadline. Occupations where danger and adrenaline is high such as working in an emergency unit, the police force or the fire patrol would also appeal to action-packed Mars. Given the entrepreneurial streak you might also be fired up working in high risk positions such as the stock market, financial trading, investing or property development. This energy also yearns to be active so physical or sport-orientated jobs might also suit. Therefore there are a variety of vocations you might be drawn to. Even though they may be masculine in temperament they are not always the exclusive domain of men. As the best-seller Men are from Mars suggested earning your income is dictated by this archetypal essence which is drawn to danger, intrigue and excitement, values independence, adventure and courage and needs to be stimulated and challenged.

One of your resources is your entrepreneurial flair and your bravado. You are willing to take a risk, confront obstacles and be challenged. This suggests you will be quite happy exploring all your options on your career path, starting and resigning from many different jobs until you find your niche. As you look back over your career path you will probably find a number of fool-hearted enterprises that you have attempted. All were important for you as you learn on the job and need to experiment with your what works and what doesn't. You need to be challenged and inspired by what you do and need a goal post in sight. Your competitive nature needs to strive for a finish. Whether you compete with others in the workforce or against your own standards you do need to set guidelines and objectives.

Mars is also the planet of desire and depending on your background you either have a strong desire to go and get what you want or are ambivalent, still caught in the backwash of earlier attitudes which do not support your sense of self esteem. One thing is for sure: you do want things and it is natural for you to wish for these. So make your wish list and work towards getting these. Look at what you value. Whether that is a red sports car or a surf board you probably are attracted to boy's toys and gadgets that make life a lot more fun, sporty and adventuresome. And this is the way you value life and will try to earn your living. Happiness for you is finding the way to be gainfully employed doing your own thing.

Jupiter in 2nd house

Planets in the 2nd house are forces that shape your worth and value and help you to understand your innate resources. Forging an alliance with this energy can create a supportive and positive approach to your own sense of worth. Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, brings its generous and open-hearted spirit into the realm of your finances and earning capacity. On one hand this suggests a positive and confident approach to making a living, as well as an ability to be financially prosperous. Yet on the other hand this might reveal a sense of entitlement and superiority. Finding the right balance is the key to being successful, as it is your enthusiasm, confidence and leadership abilities that will pay off. Acting successful and being confident are the forerunners of actual success.

Lady luck is often considered to be Jupiter's partner, therefore in the 2nd house this suggests that you too may be partnered by wealth. At the very least this might suggest that there are more times when the wheel of fortune is rising that falling. Therefore you need to take advantage of the good times, as these will be very lucrative for you. It is during these thriving times that you can build your wealth. One of your great assets is your faith and optimism and when you project this positive attitude onto money and earning your living it works well for you. You have a Midas touch when needed and are able to turn around difficult situations to make them work for you. However when you feel dispirited or depressed you may over invest or become blinded to realistic possibilities. It is important to recognise when you are in touch with the authentic sense of possibilities and when you are inflated. Therefore, take an inventory of your most resourceful assets. Most probably these will be your spontaneity, insight, vision, faith in the future, optimism, generosity and enthusiasm.

Vocationally the archetype of Jupiter is associated with philosophies, ideologies and concepts. Therefore careers involved in expanding people's understanding of themselves and the world around them or administering to individual's religious and soul-needs might be of interest. You may feel drawn to educating and inspiring others to a greater understanding or feel the need to work in travel and dealing with international concerns. Your great skill is in sharing knowledge with others and there may be many ways that this may manifest in your earning a living. The search for meaning is entwined with making a living and it is very important that you feel your job is meaningful and purposeful or you lose spirit. When you lose this spirit and optimism you also lose touch with your innate resources and capacity to earn a good living. Therefore meaning in what you do is optimum. Jupiter represents the religious quest and in the corporate world money and god can become confused. Therefore it is worthwhile reflecting on the significance of money and what value it has in your life.

Saturn in 4th House

The planet Saturn progresses slowly through the Zodiac and so it is significant when it moves from one area of your chart to another. The good news is that you have spent many years learning how to express yourself with clarity and authority. Now you gradually form foundations that last a lifetime. Family and home are likely to become a haven for you. Security can be sort in family networks, bricks and mortar or a sense of belonging to a community. You need to gradually put in place the building blocks that help you feel safe in your own life. Working from home, or retirement may become options during the years that follow. There is no rush when the planet Saturn is involved. This is a gradual process that can take years.

Uranus in 4th House

The planet Uranus is in the 4th House of your birth chart suggesting that you've a busy, unusual and unconventional home-life. As a child you may have experienced sudden changes in the home environment, or a general sense of being unsettled. It's even possible that you were estranged from your parents. As an adult you may seek unusual homes, or continue to experience restlessness. In some cases home is a positive experience during childhood - an original and unconventional environment in which everyone expresses their own creative urges. Either way it's possible that as an adult you've a preference for the open road, rather than a need to settle and put down roots. If you do settle in one place then it's likely to be a unique home, reflecting your individual nature. You may choose to live on your own, because you need a home and family environment which enables you to express your individuality, one from which you can come and go without restrictions. Property development and investment are also affected by this placement of the planet Uranus. You're likely to experience sudden gains and sudden losses through investment in property, and need to be wary of spending your old age in poverty as a result.

Neptune in 11th House

The planet Neptune placed in the 11th House of your chart means that you're likely to be attracted to spiritual and humanitarian friends or groups. If you've positive influences in your chart then you're likely to form close unions with spiritual or artistic friends, and groups, which greatly enrich your life. You may also have an inspirational effect on your friends' lives, or act as inspirational catalyst in a group. However, if you've negative influences in your chart, then you're likely to suffer at the hands of unusual and deceitful friends and acquaintances. You may also receive bad advice from friends, which leads to loss and complications in your life. You're more likely to benefit through your friendships if you follow your intuitive, rather than a logical train of thought.

Pluto in 11th House

The planet Pluto is in the 11th House of your birth chart indicating that friendships, and groups are a challenge. On a positive note you may feel drawn to powerful friends who have a profound effect on your life, enabling you to achieve your hopes and wishes. It's also possible that you become involved with a significant group or groups that transform your life for the better. You may be drawn to political or humanitarian groups, which have a commitment to making the world a better place. These groups can be a vehicle for you to achieve your commitment to humanitarian ideals. However, you need to be wary of being betrayed or misled by unscrupulous friends, or groups that are not entirely above board. You may also experience conflict with your friends. If this is the case it's important that you choose friends who have the ability to communicate with you at a deep level, and resolve any disagreements.

NorthNode in 6th House

Your North Node is in the 6th house; the South Node is the 12th. This 6th-12th polarity echoes the zodiacal opposition of Virgo and Pisces where the core issue of order versus chaos is brought into consciousness. Your North Node in the 6th house suggests that the process of ordering, sorting, discriminating and focusing become important themes in your everyday experience. Since work is an aspect of the everyday, you will encounter these ideas in your occupation. Therefore one of the first considerations of any vocation would be that it supports your need for coherence, direction and productivity. An open-ended job description or an undefined work schedule with no budget or goal is not suited to you. You need to know what you are doing; being in the moment is important, mindful of what you are working on and the techniques and structures that support it. Without this you might feel pulled back into the rip of confusion or lost in a hazy fog which keeps you from applying yourself to a useful outcome. At this juncture, stress accumulates.

Work-wise you are suited to tasks that demand your attention, details that involve you in the moment and routines that can be managed. Innately you have an understanding of health and well-being and may even feel pulled to this professionally. You also have a knack for bringing order out of chaos and therefore may be drawn to jobs that need overhauling, improving, even perfecting. Deep inside you know you have a fertile imagination and depth of understanding, yet you are invited to use this to solve the complexity of disorder and the riddle of mismanagement. Therefore vocationally development of your managerial and business skills will always be useful. You have the gift of inner sight and depth of feeling. Now you are invited to use that in a pragmatic and constructive fashion through your work in the world.

Chiron in 4th House

Chiron is a maverick in the planetary pantheon. Since its discovery in 1977, it has defied categorisation. Similarly with Chiron in your 4th House you might have first experienced this feeling of being a maverick in your family of origin. Your family may have been marginal to the mainstream culture that your grew up in. Themes of abandonment, estrangement or displacement may have permeated your family atmosphere. These may have been lingering feelings left over from an emigration, displacement or family schism that left your family on the outside. But the question that is important is what extent did these feelings of marginality contribute to your feeling unsafe and not belonging. No doubt this placement suggests that you are an individualist and a nonconformist but are you comfortable with this role? To be secure you need to accept that you are different from the rest of the herd. These differences provide the secure base upon which you will build your life.

If the family is the outsider in the society, then you may feel that safety can only be sustained in your family, leaving you at risk of venturing into the wider world. Your family myth may imply that the pain of living is great, wounding your will and the spirit that promotes adventure and exploration outside the family and culture. Has a family wound left you with a handicap? If so then it is important to reflect on how this essential aspect of your character may be used to your advantage. If not, then consider your responses to those who are disadvantaged or on the edge since you will cross paths. This also might literally suggest that one parent was wounded in some way; generally this is a loss of spirit due to feelings of excommunication that took place in their family. You are sensitive to this theme. Another way this might have manifested is that a trauma, injury or affliction may have affected a family member. And due to this, the family attention was directed towards pain rather than comfort. This contributed to making the wound the centrepiece in the family. However this may have also been the inspiration for you to find your spiritual self. Deeply embedded in your inner self is a healing and compassionate side born not from inspiration, but often desperation. Freud wrote about the phenomena of Family Romance, the child’s feeling of being alien to their family of origin and therefore romanticising their parents and siblings. While you might not have romanticised your origins you might have felt alien and adopted when growing up. This is your deep feeling that will spur you to find where you do belong.

In mythological tradition, the heroes are often cast out and abandoned, left to fend for themselves. In Greek mythology the orphaned were brought to Chiron to raise and in his home cave he taught them the heroic skills to become a warrior, a healer and a bard. This mythic motif underlies your family experience. It is the disenfranchised aspects of your self that teach you to be heroic. And ironically you are most daring when you are helping others accept their own personal limitations. Why you stand out is not because you do not fit in, but because you are one of a kind.

Being one of a kind, you are drawn to others who are marginal. Your kindred spirits understand what it is like to feel a misfit and support and encourage you to belong in your own way. You find a haven away from the normalcy of everyday life. In fact when you bring what is different about you into the heart of your life you find where you belong.

Nodes

NorthNode in Aquarius

You have the North Node in Aquarius and the South Node in Leo, indicating that you have a well-developed sense of self. Underlying your personality is self-assurance that you are loved, but in order to deeply know this to be true your vocation will lead you into the community. Your invitation is to join the human race and develop your humanitarianism. You might beat a loud drum but now it needs to be in the context of a collective parade. Become a friend to others and you will find that you shine brighter than ever. Stepping away from your own creative pursuits into the community actually provides the best venue possible for your talents and creativity. You are an original, a classic as they say. But your ample charisma and abundant charm must be aligned with community concerns before you can feel purposeful and appreciated. Ironically you become the star of the show when you are the producer focusing on the needs of the group. You find your heart's desire through the lighting of the communal fires and not solely your own. Behind the scenes is where you are the star of the show

Humanitarian ideals are an important aspect of any vocation. However your vocational ideals may lead you into an involvement in humanitarian pursuits or organisations and companies, sympathetic to humanitarian, ecological or animal concerns. While individualism is of high importance in your vocation you also need tribal and social interaction, intellectual stimulation and personal interchange in your work. You need to express its individuality in the work sector and feel unique and independent in what they do. Therefore it is the vocations that are different, even marginal that you may be drawn to. You are not afraid of being on the fringe when you tap into that confidence that you have inherited. If your working atmosphere is too rigid, authoritative or emotionally demanding then you will rebel either through shock tactics, acting out or simply leaving. You need to feel unrestrained in your occupation and work best in a democratic structure than a hierarchical one

You need social involvement to feel successful, but this does not necessarily mean you need to attach, in fact you probably are happier at work when you are non-attached. Therefore in a work environment you appreciate the social interaction but do not necessarily develop deeper emotional bonds. The more space you have on your vocational path, the more effectible you become. Without space in your working lives you might feel frantic and suffocated. When you draw on your reserves of self-confidence and conviction in your talents you are able to create an open ticket in your vocational pursuits.

Aspects

Sun Soft Uranus

The Sun is making contact with the planet Uranus in your birth chart meaning that you're a highly-talented and unique individual, determined to carve your own destiny rather than follow traditional paths. You're brimming with original and innovative ideas, which you're eager to put into action. Your goals may change during the course of your life, but this doesn't concern you, as long as you've a range of options. Doggedly independent, you like to be given the freedom to explore your talents and to learn by your own mistakes. You respect other people's individual rights, and expect them to respect yours. It's not that you're selfish. Quite the contrary. Your goal is to use your talents and ideas for the benefit of other people, perhaps even the whole of humanity. You've strong will power and are a leader rather than a follower, refusing to bow to another person's will. Others may see you as arrogant, wilful and disruptive at times, but they are attracted to your electric personality. Like moths to a flame they are fascinated by your tremendous energy and the unique manner in which you view life. You often have flashes of intuition and are capable of sudden, decisive action, which can take other people by surprise. It's possible that you've inherited your talents from a male member of your family, in particular your father. It's likely that your father, or an important father figure, has had a marked effect on your life. Perhaps you were encouraged to break free of tradition in order to develop your interests, or perhaps the absence of a dominant male meant that you experienced a lot of freedom as a child. In some cases this influence can indicate a strong father figure against whom you rebel. Either way, it's your need to be treated as an individual that's paramount. Life is full of surprises and that's the way that you like it.

Sun soft Moon

This is a lovely aspect to have in your Birth Chart as it gives you a helping hand in life from a young age. In some ways you are charmed. When the Sun is making a positive aspect to the Moon, this means that you're likely to succeed in your life through promotion, prosperity, and help from powerful people. You're also likely to gain employment easily, and earn the respect of other people. Your health and vitality is good, helping you achieve your goals. You're attractive to other people, as they are intrigued by your personality. You are confident, and yet you are not egotistical. You attract people who help raise your position in society and assist you in achieving your goals.

Moon Hard Jupiter

The Moon is making a difficult aspect to the planet Jupiter in your birth chart indicating that you struggle with your tendency to be self-indulgent and attached to the comforts of life. You've difficulty finding a sense of equilibrium in your home life. Either your home seems so comfortable that it's difficult to rouse yourself to attend social occasions, or you're never home. This isn't necessarily a problem for you, but can cause difficulties for members of your family. Perhaps these problems stem from your childhood. As a child your mother may have been over-indulgent, showering you with affection and attention and inadvertently making life a little too comfortable. As a result you may either have had difficulty finding the motivation to leave the nest, or have fled for greener pastures far too soon. It's also possible that you've unrealistic expectations of yourself and your family members, which can occasionally cause friction. On a positive note you're warm and benevolent and enjoy spending time with your family. It's also possible that you share common religious or spiritual beliefs, and that your home is a hospitable meeting place.

Moon Hard Mars

The Moon is making a difficult aspect to the planet Mars in your chart indicating that arguments and emotional disputes abound in your home life. These upsets could be caused by another member of your family, but it's more likely that you're quick-tempered and intolerant around your loved ones. Your intentions are good, but you've difficulty containing your anger in certain situations. At times you feel as though you've been unfairly misjudged and this adds fuel to your already well-lit fire. Unfortunately your impatience and irritability can result in periods of loneliness because others would rather leave you alone than bear the brunt of your bad moods. You may also find that your loved ones are angry at your attitude or it could be that they simply find it impossible to relax in your company, which is a problem if they want peace and quiet at home. You need to find an outlet for your nervous tension. For instance, letting off steam in sports or activities that demand high energy or concentration will help. Finding an absorbing project which can be based in your home could also prove beneficial. You certainly have plenty of energy and this could be directed into new enterprises or working around the house.

Mercury Soft Mars

The planets Mercury and Mars are making contact in your chart indicating that you've a razor-sharp mind and tongue, which you're not afraid of using. You're quick to grasp new ideas, and enjoy studying any subject that challenges your mind. You may have a keen interest in sports and military pursuits. You've good intellectual powers, and are witty, enthusiastic and ingenious. You're a forthright and powerful speaker, perhaps not realising the extent of the effect that your words have on other people. Others may react adversely to your feisty way of communicating, particularly if you fail to curb your tendency to speak first and think later. In some way your communications with other people tend to involve conflict, a battle of words requiring strategic manoeuvres. On a positive note it's also possible that others appreciate your ability to speak your mind, particularly if you're fighting for a cause. You may become an advocate for individuals or groups of people, who are unable to stand up for themselves or who need a strong spokesperson. You're the right choice because you're perceptive, enjoy a thought-provoking discussion or argument, and are agile in most negotiations.

Mercury Soft Jupiter

The planets Mercury and Jupiter are making positive contact in your birth chart indicating that you enjoy success in your education and communications with other people. Depending on other influences in your chart, you've the ability to think clearly and deeply, combining common sense with a cheerful outlook on life. These attributes can be put to good use in your studies, and you may choose to pursue an academic education. It's also possible that you prefer to learn through your own experiences. Either way you've a thirst for knowledge and delight in sharing your discoveries with other people. You've the ability to talk to people from all walks of life, and your ideas can be uplifting for other people. Others seem to find your candid and honest manner refreshing. For these reasons you may spend part of your life teaching, writing, lecturing or public speaking. You've big ideas and plans, and the ability to achieve many of your hopes and dreams.

Mercury Soft Pluto

The planets Mercury and Pluto are combined in your birth chart suggesting that your education and communications are coloured with highs and lows. On the positive side you've a probing mind and the ability to assess situations rapidly, which can lead to success in your studies. You're likely to excel in any education process which requires research and intense work. It's also likely that these gifts will help you excel in any professional or personal situation which involves counselling or crisis work. Your insightful mind proves invaluable in such situations. You enjoy investigating mysteries and probing for hidden truths. Secretive by nature, you find it easy to appreciate other peoples need for privacy. Your gift for being able to keep secrets means that other people often confide in you. It's likely that you've learnt to rely on your own judgement from an early age. Perhaps a threatening environment, at home, in your neighbourhood, or at school, meant that your instincts were a vital means of survival. It could also have been a crisis, ranging from a traumatic change of school or a death, that led to your ability to see situations clearly and honestly. These gifts can be used to benefit your adult life, and other people. However, problems are likely to arise because of your inability to see the lighter side of life, and to accept that occasionally you might be wrong! You are a deep thinker with wonderful powers of concentration, but you can become obsessive, seeing only innuendos and subtleties in communications, rather than the bigger and often brighter picture. This obsessive side of your nature means that you also tend to believe that others are opposed to your thoughts and ideas, when perhaps they're not. You need to battle to overcome your tendency to create conflict and then seek revenge in such situations by finding a positive outlet for your energy. For instance you may benefit from writing down your feelings of anger and resentment, making sure that they don't reach the party involved. If you believe that you're losing sight of the plot, then seek advice from a trusted friend or colleague. You are at your most powerful when using your insights for positive purposes. In particular your honesty and insights can be useful in a counselling situation, but be careful of taking these talents out of the consulting room unless invited to do so. Friends and loved ones may not always appreciate your ability to get straight to the point, particularly if they're feeling vulnerable or emotionally distraught. You need to learn tact and diplomacy and sensitivity to other people's pain. Your gifts, combined with compassion, make you a powerful advocate in any field.

Venus Conjunction Neptune

It is time for reflection rather than action. Artistic events, spiritual retreats and sojourns in nature are ideal for contemplative stage of your life. You are likely to have romantic notions right now. Let your imagination run wild. Indulge in a little daydreaming and avoid making life-changing decisions. Contracts, both business and personal, are best let alone because you are not in a practical mode - quite the opposite. Cast off as many responsibilities as is reasonable in your current circumstances and take pleasure in this creative and romantic phase. The more that you can relax and enjoy this phase the more you will feel rested and rejuvenated for the next phase. You may even discover a latent talent.

Venus Hard Jupiter

The planets Venus and Jupiter are combining unfavourably in your chart suggesting that you are somewhat fickle in relationships. It's not that you don't love your partner, but rather that the grass appears greener in other fields. Of course your ability to form a long-lasting relationship depends on other influences in your chart, but this combination suggests that you can be somewhat self-centred. When the going gets tough you lose interest and wander off for greener pastures. The good news is that you're likely to benefit through your partner, despite this inconsistent side of your nature. You're optimistic and talented, full of joie de vivre and optimistic plans for the future, which are likely to be successful. You're also likely to be surrounded by supportive friends, and many potential life partners. You're seeking a relationship with someone who will expand your horizons. You love to share adventures, philosophies and goals.

Mars Hard Pluto

An unfavourable combination of the planets Mars and Pluto has a powerful effect on your life, suggesting that you've intense emotions which are difficult to control. Violence may even be a theme in your life, either your own or someone else's aggressive actions. Those who know you well also recognise a volcanic temper when they see one. Whether you're the type to lose your cool often or rarely, you certainly make an impact when you do! On the other hand you're a great person to have around in a crisis because little daunts your indomitable spirit. You're capable of swift and effective actions, and commitment to seeing something through to the end. One of your key lessons is to come to an understanding of your own and other people's powerful emotions, and to express your own in a positive and creative manner. Fortunately your will-power is awesome once you've decided on your objective. You've the ability to work with persistence and determination, and to achieve a great sense of satisfaction when you have reached your goal.

Jupiter Hard Pluto

The planets Jupiter and Pluto are making a difficult aspect in your birth chart indicating that you've some difficulty achieving your life goals, but you will get to where you want in the end. The problem is that you reject the usual paths to success, believing that you've a better way of doing things. Your attempts to change the rules, or to try to make others agree with your insights, are sincere, but intrusive. As a result you often land yourself in troublesome situations, which can lead to disillusionment and distract you from your purpose. This can dent your confidence. You range from over confidence to completely lacking in confidence. The truth lies somewhere in between. Society has rules to run itself efficiently, and these can be to your benefit rather than detriment. Once you accept your own and society's limitations then you can achieve your objectives.

Jupiter Hard Moon

The planet Jupiter is making a difficult aspect to the Moon in your chart suggesting that you tend to be self-indulgent lacking the motivation to achieve your goals, or perhaps you've unrealistic expectations of yourself and your loved ones. You may lack faith in yourself and the fortitude needed to accomplish tasks on your own. It's possible that you put other people, particularly women, on a pedestal. You need to acquire self-discipline in order to complete tasks, which in turn boosts your confidence. Once this is achieved then you're likely to succeed in your objectives.

Saturn Hard Neptune

The planets Saturn and Neptune are combining in your chart suggesting that you've difficulty achieving your career ambitions. It's likely that you're a highly creative individual, but that you either lack the confidence to follow your true path, or the ability to make your dreams a reality. This doesn't necessarily mean that you aren't successful in your career, but rather that something is missing. It could be that you're dissatisfied with your career choice, because you're not following your true vocation. It's also possible that you enjoy your work, but aren't being paid well, which leads to frustration and disappointment. No matter how much other people urge you to stand up for your rights, you believe that you're not in a position to do so. The problem may be that you've difficulty stepping back and appropriately assessing all of your options. You lack the confidence to pave your own professional path, afraid to leave the security and comfort of your current job, or you're too busy chasing rainbows to manage your career. At some stage in your life you're forced to learn to believe in yourself, to find the right mix of creativity and practicality. Once you've made steps along this process you gain the confidence to continue. Like a child learning to walk for the first time, you're soon off and running.

Saturn quincunx Neptune

With Saturn Quincunx Neptune, adjustments in your life are mediated by the Angels Kafziel and Tamiel. Kafziel is the Angel of memory, solitude, and tears. Together these Angels put you on the path of personal integrity as surely as you follow one thought with another.

Your slow growth of understanding could be seen as a weakness. However, your path is one of steady, almost certain forward progress. You analyze and consider each decision and each new idea. In this way every step is firm and solid, not tentative or half-hearted.

Intelligent activity becomes part of your nature. Intelligent activity involves the skillful use and application of knowledge, so you must first gain knowledge before you can apply it effectively. Kafziel and Tamiel work in concert in your life by first supplying the means to learn, and then aiding your mind through dreams or visualizations of how to use the information you have gained.

As you allow your Angels into your life, you gain the capacity to maintain hope in the face of seeming disaster. You discover that even in the most difficult circumstances, you have Angelic protection, and you can find a way to work your way out of the problem.

These Angels help you learn how to manage pain. When you or someone else experience severe physical or emotional pain, your Angels provide the means for relieving its severity, as well as providing the path to resolving it altogether.

Zadkiel and Tamiel provide dreams to help you through life's difficulties. You have tenacity of spirit, and your Angels support its use. Sometimes you will have a conscious idea, and you work step by step to make that dream a reality. Other times dreams provide very direct messages about your life. Either way, your mental strength is a special ally throughout your life.

Neptune Sesquisquare NorthNode

With Neptune sesquisquare the North Node, agitation in or around you is eased by Tamiel and the entire heavenly host. You are inclined to think that anything is possible when this aspect is active in your life, perhaps because so many Angelic energies contribute to your lively imagination. Angelic presence, when called upon, soothes the emotions and smoothes your path through life.

A weakness is the lack of flexibility in dealings with other people, possibly due to your confusion about what they want or how you fit into their plans. Another possible problem concerns dreams that disturb your peaceful sleep.

If you have difficulty establishing good contacts with other people, call upon Tamiel and the heavenly hosts for comfort and support. They can stimulate imaginative ways of getting your ideas across to others.

On the up side, you can develop your psychic sensitivity so that you know what is coming in the next moment or the near future. This way you feel better prepared and can appear more adaptable, even if you still feel a bit foggy about the details.

With a host of Angels behind you to bolster your courage, you find that engaging with others in social activities becomes easier.

Pluto conjunct Neptune

With Pluto Conjunct Neptune, you experience a profound interaction between Metatron and Tamiel. Metatron has been called the King of Angels and the Chief of the ministering Angels. This Angel is thought to be the pillar of fire the Jews followed in their exodus from Egypt. He is a certain link between you and the divine. Metatron's association with Tamiel, the Angel of Primordial Energies, is extremely powerful.

You undoubtedly experience supernatural events and conditions during your life. Your Angels provide this resource and can help you refine it. Psychic impressions and intuition become second nature to you after a while. You learn to act on intuition in much the same way you would act on advice from your accountant.

One facet of the path of personal integrity for you involves purification of your soul. This means elevating your thoughts above petty jealousy and anger. While you may never overcome negative thinking entirely, working with your Angels will lift you up, step by step, to thoughts of compassion and love. Love overcomes fear and compassion overcomes hatred, it's just about that simple.

One possible weakness is over-sensitivity. This is only a weakness when you indulge the possibility. Your sensitivity is the source of at least one extrasensory ability. You will want to maintain your sensitivity while learning to manage any side effects. Other people may continue to see you as a sentimental type, but you will find that you really don't care what they think.

Another perceived weakness is confusion in interpreting psychic and intuitive information as it comes to you. Here again, this is only a weakness until you develop the necessary skills. Meditation each day allows your Angels to contact you more directly.

You have the power of a storyteller combined with the wisdom of a seer. You could write fiction or dramatic scripts, and your poetry can become the liquid fire of inspiration and soothing balm for the soul.

NorthNode Soft Moon

The North Node and the Moon are combining to suggest that you're being urged to come to terms with the emotional side of your nature. You may have difficulty expressing your emotions, particularly in groups of people. This is an area which you need to develop throughout your life, so that you can learn to use your intuition. This will better help you to pursue your purpose in life.

SouthNode Soft Moon

The South Node and the Moon are combining to suggest that you're particularly aware of the importance of emotions, and are being encouraged to use your knowledge in a constructive way. However, there is a tendency for you to become stuck in negative emotional patterns of relating to other people. In other words you have difficulty expressing your emotions, and this may lead to periods of self-imposed isolation and needless worry about the future. This also creates obstacles for you achieving your purpose in life. Your challenge is to forge ahead with your life without relying too heavily on your emotions, and yet remaining responsive to other people.

Chiron Square NorthNode

In your horoscope Chiron is squaring the Nodal Axis. This is often recognised as a harsh aspect; however, in this arrangement Chiron has a unique function in your vocation, calling you to be consciously aware of its influence over the course of your career. This suggests that the turning points in your vocation occur when you find yourself on the margins, a foreigner in the system you are working in. It is at these critical periods when you begin to forge your own unique destiny, realizing that you feel more comfortable on the fringe or edge of your profession, rather than in the centre. This insight frees you to pursue your calling.

This aspect suggests that your calling involves integrating something more subjective and intangible into your vocation. While this leaves you feeling an outsider, the truth is that you are keenly aware of what the system needs to be whole. Chiron is the image of the archetypal mentor and healer who teaches the disenfranchised young boys to become heroic. Similarly your challenge is to embrace what has been relinquished and integrate it back into the system. You are an advocate for approaches that are not purely mechanistic, economic and based on reason. Therefore it is possible that this urge will lead you into an 'alternate' discipline, one that complements what is generally accepted. This could lead you into the areas of unorthodox healing or therapy, unusual education, or alternative philosophies. Your challenge is to integrate these with your chosen profession without the stigma of feeling an outsider. Ironically you find your place in embracing these alternate ideas in the system you are in. It is alsoimportant to recognise that it is your wound and vulnerability that lead you to your vocation, not away from it.

Chiron sextile Jupiter

A sextile is a working aspect implying the need to put effort in to reap a positive result. Jupiter is abstract concepts, and when linked with Chiron it shows that there was some type of wound connected with how you understood what was going on around you. Perhaps you were made to feel that you were too literal; or perhaps the opposite, too far removed from the actual events around you is too abstract. In any event, part of this wound is a difficulty to be truly clear when to dwell on the abstract, and when to focus on the real world.

If you have not begun the healing, there is a tendency to get caught up in philosophical ideas and not realize you are drifting out beyond what is useful in the day-to-day realm. I’ve often seen this show up in the chart of a dreamer who tries to create a world that fits their abstract concepts, without realizing just how far they have strayed from reality.

The more control your wound has over you, the more you will find you are dwelling on the negative interpretation of various subject matter. But as you heal, you find that you focus more on the positive, uplifting perspective, and can lift others up as well.

As you grow, you develop the ability to catch the ‘feel’ of the times you are in, the general flavour of the current culture. You can tune in to people, and humanity, and get remarkable insights, able to see how things fit in to the larger picture.

One danger, though, comes from making use of this ability before you have grown beyond your own inner wound because your understanding gives you the ability to use your knowledge to control or manipulate others.

More positively though, as you become more whole, you have the ability to make people stop and really think. You can open people’s eyes, help them to see a much larger perspective, and you have the ability to teach others how to do this themselves.

Chiron Square Ascendant

This point progresses very slowly throughout your lifetime. Therefore you are likely to have this aspect in your birth chart. This progression may emphasise your healing abilities. You are on a quest to learn the many aspects of healing - physical, emotional and spiritual. The quotation from the Bible's New Testament Luke iv. 23. - "Physician heal thyself" - may hold special meaning. You may also need to learn when to give others the freedom to heal themselves and when to offer a helping hand.

Chiron sesquisquare Neptune

Because there are hosts of Angels directly involved with healing, assigning one Angel to Chiron is no simple task. In fact, the influence of Chiron in healing is similar to that of the Angelic hosts: this planet is a catalyst for healing energies within you, much as the Angelic hosts provide an atmosphere of healing within which you can work. However, the energy of Sariel resonates strongly with Chiron.

With Chiron sesquisquare Neptune, Sariel and Tamiel team up to show you how to move from a state of agitation to a state of restfulness and peace. When an Angel of healing meets the Angel of primordial energy, the potential for positive change is ignited within you. Your capacity to cleanse your body and mind of all impediments to health is greatly strengthened by this powerful duo.

Your capacity to heal reflects the partnership you can develop with your Angels. Two factors are important to note:

There is duality in everything. Any illness, discomfort, or mental aberration reflects one side of a polarity. On the other side you can find health, sanity, and satisfaction. Love casts out fear, for example. Pain can instill compassion. Emotional healing occurs when you go through your suffering instead of denying it. Angelic greetings traditionally have included the words, 'Fear not,' because the removal of fear from your consciousness creates suitable conditions for healing.

Physiology mirrors consciousness. As you learn the subtle connections between your belief, thoughts, and feelings and the physical body, you begin to see how positive, optimistic, creative thoughts produce healthy feelings, while negative, destructive, pessimistic thoughts create feelings of illness. You retain your free will, but your Angels create a condition in which you can more readily choose the enlightened path toward greater wellness.

Meditation can be painful for you at first because your body and mind are so used to rushing around every single moment. Take time to sit and meditate each day. Focus on your breath or on an object helps you gain a sense of space in which your healing can occur easily. Your Angels provide a bridge from your current state to one of greater intuitive understanding of wellness in your life.

Chiron sextile Mars

People who have this aspect have little doubt in their minds that they can do anything they set their minds to do! While you are not usually the type to do things merely to prove someone wrong, the thought rarely enters your head that any given project might be too difficult. If the wound is strongly influencing you, take it for granted that anything you choose to do, you will be allowed to do. It is not that you are, by nature, a lawbreaker, but rather, when you choose to do something, it just seems natural that you should be allowed to do it. As you heal from the wound, you will be able to accept that there are times when you will not be able to follow through on chosen actions because they are not appropriate, but as this develops, you will become more adept at resolving difficulties that keep some other people thinking a particular accomplishment is impossible. You have a great deal of talent in controlling and using Martian energy, no matter what field you enter. And you usually have a great deal of energy, often seemingly coming from nowhere. You have a remarkable ability to manifest Mars as a tool, whether you are skilled with scalpels or carving knives, athletics, or hard-hitting politics, or even simply cutting away at obstacles. Whatever you do, your methods carry with you your own personal brand, your own unique patterns.

Chiron square Sun

You are person who truly wants to change the world in some way, although you may or may not ever do anything about it. This urge stems from something very subjective, your wound has forced you to go through at least one, but usually several major changes in your self-image and sense of purpose. Any Chiron square throws the other body off balance, and often, so that the person must make time to re-establish the balance.

Most likely, the wound stemmed from your relationship with your father, or other male role model. Perhaps you never could understand what your parent expected of you, what they expected you to be or how they wanted you to behave, and so no matter what you did, you never received their approval to help you feel good about yourself. Or perhaps you were made to feel that you had to stay in the background, that your parent was much more important than you. No matter what, you developed into an adult with a poor sense of who you are and your potential. And as a result you became a searcher, trying to find your true self, your calling, your ultimate purpose, never feeling completely sure you are on the right path.

Once you have learned to leave a sense of ‘ultimate purpose’ open to change, and have learned that your self-image must be allowed to adapt through new circumstances, you then begin to thrill in self-discovery and in discovering more about the universe. At the same time this process goes on, you should begin to want to do something for the world in some way to correct an imbalance, open a door, teach, research.

NOTE: Some people never do accept change and are forced to cope with one disruption after another. If you continually fight the healing growth of Chiron, this aspect can become a symbol of feelings of persecution, as you nearly always see the disruptions as coming from external forces.

Chiron square Mercury

You are a very original thinker, one-of-a-kind, a true innovator and proud of it. A wound, very early in life, made you realize just how different your thinking was than of those around you. You probably embraced this discovery of being different and may even have felt happy about it.

The wound can cause you to stick to your conclusions rather than considering what other people have to say and there are times when this actually is a negative trait. Sometimes your conclusions are right on, but not always and you can have a blind spot about this.

As you heal, you will learn to listen, not only to your own logic, but also to that of others, and learn that at times others may be right.

And you speak your mind! (Try to stop you!) Have you heard the song with the refrain, ‘I did it my way’? That one is your theme song.

Some people love and admire you for your mind, and your words, but you have no trouble compiling lists of the enemies you have made among people who are too easily offended. There is even a tendency in you to try doing particular things just to disprove some statement that these things are impossible, cannot be done.

You can have a rather sharp wit, even a bit biting if you choose. Rarely do you find anyone with this aspect who is not rather intelligent. Chiron seems to push Mercury to learn more, find out more, and think more. Often, when you were growing up, you had trouble sticking to certain lines of thinking, and discovering (sometimes traumatically) that you had to change your thinking. Once you learn, through such forced changes, that your mind must adapt, be willing to try new ways of thinking, you then relish trying new and experimental approaches.
