Birth Chart Report for Clemens Brentano

By Stephanie Johnson · Bronze Edition

Your Sun Sign

Sun in Virgo

In contemporary astrology Virgo is associated with the sacred acts of an everyday life that promote health. With the Sun in Virgo you respect the holistic approach to life, aware of the need for moderation in the holy trinity of body, mind and soul. As an archetype Virgo represents the instinct for wholeness embedded in every human soul and with your Sun in Virgo you strive to consciously express this. This might manifest as your need to be healthy and to achieve balance in the chaos of an everyday life. It could also call you to become involved in the improvement and betterment of others.

In your daily routine you need to experience feeling balanced. In your busy world the repetitiveness and simplicity of domestic tasks is a mantra for stabilising and grounding your spirit. In the completion of simple tasks you are able to find a sense of fulfillment and well being. While meditation, yoga, walking the dog or reading the paper may be the rewards of an everyday life, other routines like paying the bills, cleaning the kids' room or mopping the floors can also be viewed as contemplative and meaningful practices. Your task is to find the synthesis between the extremes so the cadence of the everyday life is free of stress and worry as much as possible. In fact you might have already found the balance and made housework your meditation.

You need to systematically order health rituals to promote a sense of well being. It is imperative to be health conscious. You have great respect for the body and are able to apply its wisdom through a healthy diet and lifestyle, regular exercise and work. You have the ability to concentrate, focus on detail, follow instruction and be consciously involved with repetitive tasks, which combine to make you skilled at handicrafts and detailed work. Work is an important aspect of your ritual and no matter how mundane work may be you can find meaning in being focused and attentive to the task at hand.

Instinctually you honour the quest for purity of mind and soul. The psychology of Virgo suggests that this may be achieved through discrimination, analysis and orderliness. Hence you respect these qualities and try to revere them in their own life. The power of discrimination allows you to know what is important to pursue and what needs to be rejected. Analysis contributes to improving your world through identifying what works and what doesn't. And orderliness is very important, as a tidy environment promotes your state of calm and reflects your inner need for order and organisation. Your vocational quest is likely include health and well being, whether that is your own or others. Being adept at analysis and acute at concentrating you might find your vocational path leads to medical research, psychiatric nursing or scientific pursuits. As a details oriented person you are more likely to shine in a career behind the scenes rather than on centre stage. For instance you are more likely to be the editor than the writer, the administrative assistant rather than the boss, the stage manager rather than the actor. You are likely to enjoy these roles. To find your vitality and spirit and to feel soulful in the world, strive to find self-discipline and order and the qualities of moderation, diligence and service through what you do.

Your Moon Sign

Moon in Aries

With your Moon in Aries your need for independence and exploration is high and this applies to your vocation as well. You need to feel free enough to make your own decisions, feeling challenged and motivated by the tasks of life. Therefore in caring for the soul you need to find the courage of your convictions to follow your own course. Being active and physical is important for you, as you feel more alive through exertion and drive. Instinctually you respond quickly to situations. Able to think on your feet and be in the moment you may be well suited to work in critical situations, depending on other aspects of your birth chart. These handy responses may allow you to be adept at a variety of mechanical, technological and electrical trades. If not, they support you to be active and quick to respond in a work situation.

Your independent spirit needs to push itself, therefore physical work or work which requires nerve, adrenaline, stamina and courage to complete the task are well suited to your need to be heroically engaged. Occupations, including sport and business, which have goals and deadlines as well as risk factors, could also encourage your driving spirit. However at the end of the day what is important is that you have tended to your soul in work, which needs to trail blaze and be a pioneer, preferring to be out front than at the back of the queue. Without this stimulus you may feel bored and restless craving thrills and stimuli which could be unsafe. This is likely to be reflected in your choice of vocation. You are a self-starter and therefore starting your own business, working on your own or any form of self-employment may appeal.

If you are drawn to the nurturing professions then your Moon in Aries draws you towards risk-taking and tasks that involve you physically and mentally, demanding your quick reflexes and decision making, such as ambulance work, coaching, paramedics, emergency, trauma, organisational change etc.

Your Rising Sign

Ascendant in Sagittarius

The effervescent nature of Sagittarius is prominent when placed on the Ascendant in your Birth Chart. Your enthusiasm for life and the adventures that it offers is contagious. As such you are a natural teacher, traveller, philosopher and educator. Your purpose is not so much linked with money but rather with the riches that can be gained from education and knowledge. Life has meaning when you are “getting wisdom”. You're open-minded, honest, idealistic, jovial, impulsive and a sometimes deep thinker. You view life as a continual adventure with many exciting lessons, experiencing good fortune on your travels. Your irrepressible enthusiasm is irresistible, and others are keen to join your adventures. You're ardent, affectionate, and kind-hearted. Your biggest challenge when it comes to money is showing restraint. You are likely to attract money and good fortune throughout life but you need to learn to use your own, and other people’s resources wisely. Grandiose money making schemes and expensive holidays can quickly dry up funds. If you can restrain your impulses and harness your positive traits then you're likely to be fortunate in life and an inspiration to others. If you would like to focus on a positive affirmation connected to money then with your Sagittarian Ascendant you could use this one from “Creating Money – Keys to Abundance”by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer “Everything I do brings me aliveness and growth”.

Planets in Signs

Mercury in Libra

The planet Mercury in the zodiac sign of Libra indicates that you love to talk with your friends and loved ones, particularly in peaceful and pleasant settings. You're a good communicator with an ability to put others at their ease. Your listening skills are equally as good, as you enjoy hearing what your friends have to say. For this reason, friends enjoy dropping in for a chat. Professionally, you may also find yourself in roles that require good listening skills and sound judgement. As much as you enjoy pleasant conversation, you also dislike arguments. You've an ability to see all sides of a story, and therefore often find yourself in the role of peacemaker or go-between when arguments arise. However, disputes have a tendency to upset your equilibrium, even if you do manage to find a good resolution for all concerned. While you're gifted at solving other people's problems, there are often times when you find yourself sitting on the fence unable to make a decision for yourself. This can be quite uncomfortable as you toss different options over in your mind. At times like this you can seek the counsel of friends.

Venus in Libra

With Venus in the sign of Libra you enjoy the company of other people and tend to fill your life with people from all walks of life, although you do have a preference for people from the higher echelons of society. Your diary is filled with social occasions ranging from quiet chats with one or two friends, to larger gatherings of your loved ones. You've plenty of loved ones to choose from because human relationships are such a source of pleasure for you. You are kind and courteous and your enjoyment of people is contagious. As a result you're popular with your friends. Listening to other people's stories and offering soothing advice is almost second nature. You're particularly gifted at solving problems, because your first thought is to maintain harmony in relationships and you can always see both sides of a situation. Therefore you're able to bridge the gap between many a warring party. Your primary relationship is also important, and your first preference is for a long-lasting marriage based on fidelity and trust, rather than a series of shorter love affairs. It's important for you to keep the romance and enjoyment alive, otherwise you could feel trapped in an unrewarding relationship. You've a love of fine arts and enjoy sharing this with your friends and loved ones. You need only be wary of spending too much time and energy on your loved ones at the expense of yourself.

Mars in Leo

The planet Mars in the sign of Leo indicates that you have an honest and straightforward approach to life, meeting most of life's challenges head on. You're fearless and independent in your own life with the ability to be a strong leader for others less forthright. You're a passionate and generous individual with the ability to take other people under your wing, as long as they show some appreciation of your gifts. For these reasons you're often promoted to positions of authority and public prominence. You have a strong need to express your personal creativity, enjoying centre stage in most of your activities. You may even literally take centre stage in a theatrical performance or on a podium, as you have natural flair for the dramatic side of life. You're a formidable friend and foe as you have strong will power and the confidence to carry through most of your adventurous objectives. You need to be wary of becoming too arrogant and taking on more than you can handle.

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 Gemini

The planet Uranus was in the sign of Gemini from 1942 - 1949. 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 Gemini indicates that you belong to a generation which becomes focussed on new forms of communication and the world's networks. This generation is responsible for original and inventive ideas which change the world's communication network. Your creativity soars when you're tackling these issues.

Neptune in Virgo

The planet Neptune was in the sign of Virgo from 1928 - 1943. 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 Virgo indicates that you belong to a generation faced with the task of analysing the excesses of extravagance, and organising a systemic approach to blending the spiritual and practical. You're concerned with ensuring that spiritual matters become part of a daily routine. For instance, yours is a generation that may view regular attendance at church a necessity for good healthy living.

Pluto in Capricorn

The planet Pluto is in the sign of Capricorn from 2008 - 2024. 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 Capricorn suggests that you belong to a generation likely to experience a change in world government. Your generation possesses the ability to transform old structures into new and enduring ones.

Chiron in Aries

You are a sensitive soul whose journey towards wholeness may involve you in events that make you feel that you are singled out in some way.

It may be necessary for you to cross a threshold, perhaps some kind of pain barrier, emotional or physical, before you can embrace your own creative potential with full confidence. You may be defined in some way by a wounding event that calls into question your identity. As a result you may become a leader or pioneer. Even though being in charge and taking the initiative means facing your fears, you are capable of inspirational leadership and taking decisive action.

You may feel vulnerable, feeling that your pain and scars are visible to others. By being courageous, you will find the key to face life's challenges.

At times you perhaps feel a deep sense of isolation, or aloneness and feel that you have to push ahead on your own, without much support from others. But relationships will also bring you opportunities to heal. Over time you will begin to forge supportive connections with others who may have undergone similar experiences. You will discover you have a rare gift to heal others as well as yourself.

Planets in Houses

Sun in 9th House

The progressed Sun moves slowly through the houses. The ninth house of your chart is currently emphasized indicating that you are keen to spread your wings and explore new horizons. Travel, religion, cultural pursuits, sports and philanthropy are all themes. You may also be keen to communicate some of your own life philosophies or publish an artistic or written work. You need to expand your horizons or you will feel imprisoned by other people's expectations and society's limitations. Knowledge is the key to wisdom and understanding.

Moon in 4th House

It is time to focus on your home and family. This could mean that you need to address the needs of immediate family members such as your spouse, children, parents or siblings, or it could be that you are required to reassess your own role within your family. A family member may come to stay for an extended period of time, the birth of a child may change the nature of your family or perhaps a family member leaves the home. Whatever the scenario you are likely to make changes to your home. Renovations, extensions or a move to a new house are all a possibility as you take the time to reflect on your and your family's personal needs. This is the ideal time to spring clean your house. In fact the more that you can focus on the home and family and ensure that you have a firm foundation in your life, then the more that you will benefit in the future. You need to face your responsibilities to your loved ones and ensure that they are comfortable. You also need to make sure that you are comfortable in your family environment. An urge to explore your roots may also take hold during this phase and you may start to research your family history. Another way that you can be influenced during this phase is in the area of housing and development. You may develop an interest in property investment during this phase. The sign of your progressed Moon will also show you the manner in which you are likely to approach your family and home life. For instance if your progressed Moon is in a fire or air sign then you are likely to be restless unless actively seeking alternative solutions. However, if your progressed Moon is in an earth or water sign then you may feel more comfortable in shouldering the extra familial responsibilities.

Mercury in 10th house

Mercury is in your 10th house. As ruler of the intellectual signs of Gemini and Virgo, Mercurial occupations involve both the gathering and the analysing of information. The Mercurial archetype inclines towards professions that involve data, ideas and information technology, such as the information industry which now involves computers and the Internet. Statistical analysis, statisticians, scientists, accounting and economic analysis and librarians are also Mercurial occupations that involve research and processing of data.

Mercury was the messenger of the Gods and its astrological function is to deliver the message and to communicate. Therefore there is a host of Mercurial professions that include lecturers, teachers, writers, interpreters, journalists, radio announcers, editors, postal workers, the computer and information industry, the media and news reporting, advertising which might be of interest when contemplating career. Mercury is also the patron of travellers, their guide, and astrologically rules 'short trips' in astrology; therefore occupations involving the travel industry, drivers, couriers, tour guides and organizers, interpreters, flight attendants, cab drivers are consistent with this placement. Mythological Mercury was also the god of commerce and vocations involving trade, negotiation, contracts, verbal skills, argument and persuasion are akin to his nature. You might consider the field of commerce, commodity trading, or the stock exchange. These might also be an appropriate sector to help consume some of your abundant nervous energy.

The analytical side of Mercury also combines with the urge towards health in professions such as clinical psychologists, psychiatry and psychiatric nursing, dieticians, health care workers and medical analysis. The Virgo side of Mercury is also important in all industries that provide services to their clients. With this archetype atop your horoscope it is important that you have flexibility and continuous change in your vocation. Without adequate movement or variety in your career you may become anxious, stressed or scattered. However, with the influence of youthful Mercury you are destined for many interesting assignments and positions in your chosen career. You have the knack of being able to reinvent yourself and see things afresh.

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 9th House

Your spirit of adventure is likely to increase as the energetic planet Mars progresses into the expansive 9th House. During this period you are likely to seek activities that broaden your mind and open up new fields of possibilities. You may embark on a journey into new territory, learning much from your adventures. On the other hand you may begin an emotional or intellectual journey closer to home, exploring the expansive of the heart and mind. This is your time to focus on anything and anyone who lifts your spirit.

Jupiter in 9th House

Jupiter is also in the 9th House of your chart signifying that international affairs hold a certain fascination, challenging your view of the world and giving endless food for thought. You're interested in international economics and politics, religions and cultures of other countries, archeological findings which uncover the ways of life of ancient civilisations, and awe-inspiring overseas natural wonders. Discoveries of other galaxies and universal phenomena also excite your mind. You like to travel overseas to experience first-hand the attractions of other countries, but you're also happy to study in a college or university. You are likely to attract good fortune on your travels. Religion and philosophy also appeal to your enquiring mind. You're full of plenty of philosophical and religious ideals of your own, but you also like to keep an open mind. You're a wise person, basically optimistic about the future of the world. It's even possible that you possess prophetic abilities.

Saturn in 11th House

The planet Saturn progresses slowly through the Zodiac and therefore its influence is subtle. Saturn is a wonderful planet when you do your homework. However, if you try to escape your responsibilities then you are likely to suffer the consequences. So wherever this planet progresses you need to listen to your conscience and obey, rather than try to cut corners. In your case Saturn is progressing now through the 11th House of your Birth Chart indicating that your role in friendships, groups, clubs and community is likely to undergo changes. Friends may leave your social circle or you may move out of certain social circles. You may also search for a position of authority within a group, organisation or movement. In order to do this, regardless of the nature of the group or organisation, you need to face up to and work through certain inhibitions. This is your chance to be taken seriously when it comes to communicating with others in society.

Uranus in 7th House

The planet Uranus is in the 7th House of your birth chart suggesting that you've a need for unconventional relationships. Depending on other aspects in your birth chart, these relationships have a positive or negative effect on your life. On a positive note you attract an unusual primary partner, someone who is original or involved in an unusual occupation, perhaps even a genius in their field. Your marriage gives you just the right amount of freedom to pursue your independent activities. You also benefit from lively and unusual business partnerships, or a business partnership in an unusual project. On the other hand, you may experience misunderstandings and troubles through your marriage and business relationships, which can lead to separation and disputes, possibly even law suits. Perhaps your partner is cruel, or possibly you rushed into these partnerships with little thought of the consequences. If you've experienced troubles in your marriage and business partnerships, which have resulted in loss, then you would do well to avoid conventional partnerships in the future. You would also be wise to avoid legal conflicts, because you're unlikely to benefit.

Neptune in 10th house

In your 10th house you have Neptune, which suggests you are called to seek a vocation that will satisfy the creative yearnings, the soulful urges and the need to be of service to others. Your career path is not clear, nor can you expect it to be. However what you can expect is that you will be caught up in the chaos of life and need to learn to feel at peace with letting this take you where you need to go. There is a greater intelligence at work in designing your vocation.

Wherever Neptune is located in the horoscope you experience the urge to be in contact with the divine. Being in the 10th house of your horoscope suggests you seek the divine in your vocation and follows its calling into the world. Of all the planets Neptune resonates with the longing to find soul, since it feels trapped and suffocated by the mundane, literal and tedious aspects of life. It longs for connection, and often languishes in a sense of divine discontent. Its urge to embrace or surrender to the divine manifests in longing, idealisation, fantasy and is often experienced as a calling to help others. Hence in vocational pursuits Neptune longs to help or find a way to express the divine. There are two main paths Neptune can express itself in a career.

The first is through the helping professions where the individual must surrender their own ego needs for others. The helping profession can include a wide spectrum of occupations, such as nursing, social work, hospital work, psychology, working with physically disabled or mentally handicapped individuals, the ministry and other spiritual vocations. Working with the elderly, the poor, the sick or the underprivileged, volunteer work, and all the intuitive vocations such as clairvoyants, psychic and spiritual healers, dream and image therapists all appeal to this archetype. Neptune is also associated with the drug and chemical industries and careers in pharmacology, as chemists, with oils & essences, in drug & alcohol rehabilitation or as a psychiatrist reflect this connection.

The other path is expressing the divine through your inspiration, creativity and artistic calling. Poets, artists, musicians, photography and camera work, film and video industry, dance, fashion and glamour industries satisfy some of the creative urges of Neptune. With Neptune in your 10th you may have the soul of an artist whose fate is often to suffer in a world that is devoid of soul. Part of the fate of Neptune in the 10th is to feel that you do not belong in the world, yet your destiny waits in the world. Rather than being caught in the exhaustion of ambivalence it is helpful to realise you need to express your creativity in the world, not expect the world to be your muse.

Mythological Neptune also ruled the seas and there may be a deep yearning to work with the sea in a variety of ways such as oceanography, in other aquatic occupations, boating or ships. However this is often metaphoric of the deep urge to express feeling and soulfulness in the world. With Neptune in your vocational sector you may have to surrender your expectations in order to find the path right for you.

Pluto in 2nd house

In ancient Greek plutus meant wealth and it is this association with riches that was transferred onto Pluto. As lord of the underworld he ruled over the vast domain of resources hidden in the earth. Psychologically the deity reminds us of the wealth in our own underworld, the untapped resources and riches awaiting release. In your 2nd house this suggests that you have innate wealth and power to be mined. First and foremost, it is necessary to know what feeds the desire for wealth and capital, as money will confront you with deep issues in the self. Being in the 2nd house, Pluto has shaped your sense of worth and value, therefore this suggests your best assets are your honesty and integrity and your innate resource is your ability to work therapeutically with crisis and change.

One recurring pattern I have seen is the confrontation with one's sense of worth and power through money. In other words you may unconsciously find yourself close to losing your assets which drives you into transforming and rebuilding your possessions. However, you do not need to lose everything to know that you have the power to restore and rebuild your capital. You have a powerful sense of wealth creation which will work for you when you recognise that you would like to be more critically involved in your work and that you are worth it. Or you also may fear losing your money, be haunted by images of not having, which are ways you confront your own sense of worth. It is important to know that these feelings are not prophetic but psychological, forcing you to honestly confront your own sense of worth and find the resources that promote a valued sense of self. You also have the knack of transforming what others have discarded or undervalued and make it an object of worth.

Invest in the things that are of worth to you, not others. Wealth is a subjective experience and while others may objectify money and possessions, to you it is different. What may be invisible to them is often a great asset to you. Therefore, you have a gut instinct for the right shares to purchase and a feeling about the best house to buy; this valuable resource needs direction. Income could come through mysterious ways, inheritances but of course vocationally professions involving research, medical or psychotherapeutic work, crisis management and consulting or with any underground link could also be possible. What is important to know is that your resources are the depth of your perceptions, the integrity of your convictions and the power of your honesty. But perhaps the greatest asset you have is the ability to trust yourself in times of decision making about resources and to know that you have made the right choices. You will eliminate what is not necessary; however, you will also bring the hidden treasure to the surface.

;=====================================================================

NorthNode in the 7th House

In your horoscope you have the North Node in the 7th House and the South Node in the first. In the horoscope this is the axis of self and other, the delicate balance between being focused exclusively on others as opposed to yourself. Therefore this tug-of-war between you and others is an embedded feature of your vocation. Your chart suggests that you are more inclined to follow your own desires rather than compromise, yet the task in this life is to feel fulfilled and complete in your relationships, be they intimate or business partnerships.

To feel that you are an independent soul, free of the need to be involved with others becomes an unhappy deception, as this is based on a false sense of security forged out of a defensive sense of independence. Naturally you do have a strong spirit and a well developed independent streak, but your task now is to place effort and conscious will into relationships. Interestingly your time invested in others will be rewarded with realizations into yourself. The pathway in front of you suggests that the focus on others will bring out more of your own authentic self. Independence, freedom and adventure are innately aspects of your character and therefore you will not be able to lose what you own, unless of course you do not value it. Through relating and the interchange with others you discover the missing link to your sense of selfhood. Therefore in your vocational quest your partners, associates, colleagues and workmates play a significant role. You love a contest and the challenge now is to master relationship. Even when facing your adversaries, your challenge is to find the middle ground through developing reconciliatory strategies. Therefore vocationally you are well suited to managerial and leadership roles, as you have an innate sense of being able to take risks and confront difficulties. Effort is needed to remain focused on others; however, when this is accomplished the mix of entrepreneurial skill and personal interaction contributes to you becoming a leader in your field of endeavour. Interpersonal relationships are the key to your expression of individuality and through your associations you are able to make an impact on the wider community.

Chiron in 5th House

Relationships are delicately balanced at the best of times. A loving relationship offers the opportunity for healing of emotional wounds from the past and personal growth and fulfilment. When two people relate in a tender way then it is possible to provide the greatest opportunities for healing rather than more hurtful experiences. Working through emotionally difficult times is when Chiron is working at its best. At times in relationship, one person may inadvertently trigger the other’s hurt feelings. These feelings may be left over from your childhood, or from a previous relationship. Either way your current relationship is an opportunity to relate differently. A loving union provides the chance to let go of the past and experience intimacy and true love now. This placement of Chiron in your Combined Chart indicates that the ability or inability to express joy and passion is important. Creative projects, romance and children are all sources of joy if they are pursued. Are you in agreements on these areas of life? For instance do you agree that you both want to be parents? Does one of you have a passionate hobby that precludes true intimacy with another? Do you both agree on what constitutes romance? This placement alone is not a significant one in a Composite Chart, but it does indicate that these key areas of relationship need to be sensitively handled and addressed before the relationship progresses too far.

Nodes

NorthNode in Gemini

In your natal horoscope you have the North Node in Gemini and the South Node in Sagittarius signifying you have access to a breadth of knowledge. Innately you are scholastic, yet ironically schooling may never have brought this out in you. It is through your own course of study, adventure and travel beyond the horizon that have educated you. Through your own personal experiences and training you have accumulated a large library of resources and in your vocation you need to draw on these. The dragon you will fight in your professional life will be the feeling that your hard-won opinions and beliefs are the right ones for everyone. Ironically you will be called on to disseminate your ideas and beliefs but now the righteousness needs to be extracted so these concepts and ideals can be more widely distributed. By nature you are a teacher, an educator and a trainer and your vocation is to inspire others not convince them of your beliefs.

Qualities that need both development and expression in a vocation are concentrated on the faculties of communication and ideas. You need to widen your sphere of influence in order to disseminate your innate knowledge, whether that is through speaking, writing, teaching, broadcasting or telecommunications. Therefore it is important to network, make contacts and be active in the community of colleagues. With your breadth of understanding and intuition you have an uncanny sense of knowing what is right. Let your intuition, innate knowledge and far sightedness lead you concentrating on articulating and forming ideas so that your beliefs can be understood and embraced by the world at large.

Your invitation is to be a correspondent with larger ideas. Since you have an innate knack at seeing the larger picture and the underlying meaning to what is going on you are called to impart these concepts to a wider audience, becoming a practical dreamer, an everyday philosopher. Communication is a necessary part of your vocation. Whether you express your creativity through design, writing, journalism, politics, lecturing, body movements, laughter in not important; what is necessary is that you articulate these creative ideas. Any medium that can offer a venue to exchange ideas, thoughts and information is vital in you feeling vocationally content. Flexibility and the freedom to communicate are paramount. Having an instinct for education and knowledge you are able to marry this with facts, statistics and information, therefore employment which involves telecommunications, the Internet, sales, specialised information, maps, atlases, books, magazines, news, reports, and statistics might appeal. However your vocation finds you, it probably will be when you're on the move, in between or asking the larger questions about life.

Aspects

Sun Hard Uranus

The Sun is making a difficult aspect to the planet Uranus in your birth chart indicating that you're impulsive and determined to be an individual. You want to do things your own way and will dig in your heels if anyone tries to stop you. You've the ability to be a unique and original leader, but you need to be wary of letting your impatient and excitable nature stand in the way of you achieving your life goals. If you're not careful you're easily embroiled in various dramas over perceived or, in some cases, real injustices. This could range from a minor conflict with a sales person or major battles with authorities. This tendency to clash with other people probably originates from your childhood relationship with your father or a father figure. It's likely that you were a wilful child, who liked to have the freedom to learn through experience rather than through parental advice. Of course the extent of your rebellion depends on other influences in your chart. You may have clashed with a strong-minded male parental figure, either through head-on conflict or passive lack of co-operation. Possibly the loss, or absence, of a strong male during your childhood meant that you were given too much freedom and lacked appropriate parental guidance. It's also possible that in your mind you feel that you were not given enough freedom. Given your need for individual freedom, you may have felt trapped. Either way, as an adult, you struggle to curb a tendency to lash out whenever someone else or circumstances appear to stop you getting or doing what you want. This can result in a feeling of being isolated or separated from loved ones or society. However, it's more likely that your own wilful nature is preventing you from achieving your goals in life. You need to find the right mix of respecting your own original identity and the needs of other people. Once you've achieved this balance then you're free to pursue your unique talents, and to succeed in reaching your goals.

Sun Soft Mars

The Sun and the planet Mars come into contact in your chart meaning that you're hard working and energetic, able to tackle most of life's challenges with confidence and a positive attitude. A natural-born leader, you prefer taking the initiative, rather than sitting back and waiting for things to happen. You're courageous and like to take a few risks in life, particularly ones that satisfy your sense of adventure and provide an outlet for your boundless energy. Self-motivation comes easily and you find it difficult to accept the motto that "all good things come to those who wait". You prefer to tackle a project or problem head on rather than wait around for a solution. While confidence and initiative are positive traits, you do need to exercise some patience and caution. Knowing when to take risks and when to wait are both vital to a successful outcome in any project. As long as you find positive outlets for your enterprising nature, and don't act too impulsively you're likely to stride forth and succeed in achieving your life goals.

Moon Soft Uranus

The Moon is making contact with the planet Uranus in your chart suggesting that your home life is never dull. You're a resourceful, inventive and independent person, who needs a stimulating household in order to feel fully alive. If your home and family don't provide a little excitement, then you're likely to find it difficult to settle in one place. As it is you're often restless, seeking adventure and change. You enjoy the unconventional side of life and need excitement, and are likely to show the wilful side of your nature if forced to conform to other people's demands. You're a unique individual with many enterprising ideas, enjoying the freedom of expressing yourself in unconventional ways and attracted to exciting and different activities in which you excel. It's possible that you're drawn to unusual houses, or to out-of-the-way locations. You may enjoy living in a commune rather than a traditional family situation. Whether you realise it or not, others may see you as a little eccentric. As long as you can accept and enjoy your individual qualities, then your loved ones are also likely to appreciate your unique contribution to family life.

Moon Soft Mars

The Moon is making an aspect to Mars in your chart indicating that your home life is active and boisterous, rather than a peaceful environment. Fortunately you're an impulsive and emotional person, who prefers action to becoming bored by inactivity. You're likely to feel more comfortable when faced with a challenge. For this reason you may enjoy working around the house or working from home. It's possible that your need for an active home life stems from your childhood home environment, which was busy and boisterous. Perhaps your mother, or a strong woman in your household, was vivacious and dynamic, possibly even fiery. In some cases male members of the family can display these traits. Either way at a young age you learnt how to enjoy a spirited home life, which you've carried into your adult life. You need to be wary of a lack of sensitivity to other people's feelings. Not everyone is as feisty as you. You could also try to avoid becoming embroiled in arguments with women. This could be difficult as you're impetuous, liable to act without thinking. Mostly you enjoy the challenge of new activity, but at times your vigorous nature can land you in hot water.

Mercury Hard Moon

You need to take care in your communications and education because of the unfavourable combination of the Moon and the Planet Mercury. You've a sharp mind and a quick wit, but unfortunately you've a tendency to gossip and be sarcastic rather than put your skills to good use. In some cases this combination can also highlight a tendency to dishonesty and worry. Of course you're worried, because you can only judge other people by your own standards and these may not be very high! Of course much of this depends on other influences in your birth chart. On a positive note you can turn your mind to your studies and to improving your communication skills.

Mercury Soft Uranus

The planets Mercury and Uranus are connected in your birth chart indicating that you've an incisive and ingenious mind. You enjoy progressive topics in your studies and your communications with other people. In fact you may be ahead of your time in your thoughts, ideas and opinions. You're generally successful in your studies because you're able to communicate your original ideas with ease. Creativity and intuition are second nature. You're an independent thinker, who likes to be given the freedom to express your ideas. In fact woe betide anyone who tries to keep you quiet or change your mind. You make impulsive decisions, some would say rash, but generally speaking you tend to land on your feet. Your projects tend to reflect your individual flair, and stand out from the rest of the class or society. Writing, publishing, advertising, science, astrology and electrical affairs may all be of interest, although any unusual subject will catch your attention.

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.

Venus Soft Neptune

The planets Neptune and Venus are connected in your chart indicating that you yearn for romance in your primary relationship. Whether you realise it or not, you're seeking an ideal and perfect partner, who may only exist in fairy tales. If you're not careful you'll become disillusioned with the imperfections of relationships and seek solace in a fantasy world. You need to face the realities and imperfections of yourself and your partner as much as possible. This doesn't mean that you need to completely rule out romance and idyllic love. In fact it might help if you're able to escape with your loved one to a romantic setting, away from the demands of everyday life. Coming to terms with the reality of your relationship simply helps you obtain a better understanding of your primary relationship, and helps prevent you becoming disillusioned. In other words taking off the rose-coloured glasses means that you can make a proper assessment of your primary relationship. As a result you'll experience fewer feelings of resentment and disappointment because your partner fails to be perfect, and you won't be in danger of overlooking some major flaws such as drug addiction or deceit. With the right partner you'll enjoy a sense of peace and fulfilment. You may also enjoy artistic or spiritual pursuits together. You're ardent and loving, responding quickly to your partner's need. In turn you benefit from acts of kindness, love and appreciation.

Venus semisextile Neptune

With Venus Semisextile Neptune, difficult moments of growth take on more creative meaning because of Aniel and Tamiel. Aniel is the Angel Guardian of sexuality, and Tamiel governs your unconscious energies and your dreams. Together they form a powerful channel for all creative energy, and sexuality is one of the most potent of these.

You probably have experienced the longing for love. You wish to experience love from family, friends, and romantic partners. Aniel and Tamiel team up to provide all sorts of fantasies in this department, and they also help you to manifest some of those fantasies in truly moving and supportive relationships.

You have a potent erotic imagination. When you think about sex, you are able to supply all the fine lines and broad brushstrokes, all the intonations of voice, and all the physical sensations of passion. Your erotic dreams may take on epic proportions.

You have a well-defined interest in mysticism, even if you don't recognize it at first. You are drawn toward exotic clothing and foods, unusual expressions of faith and love, and even to dark vampire-like expressions of passion and possession. Remember, the light, bright side of love is balanced by darker energies, and to experience the light, you must at least be aware of the darer side of your fantasies.

High ideals, though, can lead you to the spiritual heights of sexuality. You are naturally receptive. Aniel and Tamiel support you in discovering a safe, secure partnership in which you can surrender to passion!

One potential weakness is your susceptibility to influence from others. Infatuation can end in rather crushing disappointment when you find that your expectations are either impossible, or that your partner simply can't meet them. Aniel and Tamiel, in these moments, carry you through your sorrow toward another opportunity for great love.

Venus Hard Pluto

The planets Venus and Pluto are combining unfavourably in your chart suggesting that drama plays a key role in your personal relationships. You're fiercely loyal and committed, and expect as much from your partner. You like to feel that there is an unbreakable emotional bond between you and your primary partner. Problems arise when you don't feel this bond with your partner, either because your partner is consumed with another interest, or if a third person appears to be lurking on the scene. At times like these you struggle to keep things in perspective. You're a jealous person, and quite capable of seeking revenge when wronged. You need to be wary of this darker side of your nature, seeking help when appropriate. You need also to be careful to choose the right person as your primary partner - someone who reciprocates your love and passion. Otherwise you can waste a lot of time and energy trying to make a doomed relationship work. You may also benefit from directing some of your energy into an all-consuming project, such as fighting for human rights or an intensely creative pursuit.

Mars Hard Saturn

Conflict is likely to be a key feature of your life because of the influence of the planets Saturn and Mars in your chart. When these combine in an unfavourable manner it leads to troubles and discord. You're probably well aware of the difficulties that you face in some areas of your life, finding it difficult to motivate yourself to overcome them. Other people and circumstances seem to stand in the path of your success, which is frustrating. In some cases you could be frustrated by a physical illness, which prevents you working towards your ambitions. It's true that you shouldn't neglect your physical health, because you could be prone to illness and harm through accidents. You may find that resentment and thoughts of revenge are ways in which you motivate yourself into action. Of course you would do well to avoid acting on these feelings, otherwise you could end up in violent disputes or in trouble with the law. This influence in your chart can indicate achieving notoriety, which is very different from achieving success. It's possible that you've difficulty remembering a time when life didn't have its problems. Perhaps you had a tough life as a child either through difficult family circumstances or because of a strict and harsh parent figure. Of course much of this scenario depends on other influences in your chart. On a more positive note you're confident and ambitious, capable of driving yourself and others to achieve your objectives. You can be motivated by the thought of achievement, and are likely to succeed through hard work and self-discipline. In fact you're determined to succeed in certain areas of your life. Your will power can be indomitable, particularly when you've determined on a course of action.

Mars Soft Uranus

You're positive, self-confident and enterprising. This is because the planets Mars and Uranus are combining positively in your chart. You're enthusiastic and highly self-motivated, if somewhat impulsive, enjoying adventure and new horizons. You do need to be wary of accidents caused through your own rash actions, particularly as you're courageous and likely to be attracted to risky sports and activities. Your dangerous driving on the road is also likely to cause a few hair-raising moments, both for you and other drivers. You're full of good ideas, and once you've determined on a course of action, then you've plenty of motivation to see it through to successful completion. You're independent and prefer to be given plenty of room to carry through your own ideas in your own way. Fortunately this combination usually indicates that you succeed in your wishes, as well as your projects. It's even possible that you'll rise to prominence during your lifetime because your "do or die" attitude to achieving your goals.

Jupiter Soft Saturn

The planets Jupiter and Saturn are making a beneficial aspect in your birth chart indicating success in achieving your life goals. You're wise and perceptive, with a talent for creative ideas and the ability to put those ideas into action. You're blessed with a wonderful sense of timing, knowing exactly when to make the right moves to achieve a desired result, whether it be for yourself or for a group project. You've just the right blend of optimism and realism. For these reasons you can enjoy success in self-employment or be a valued member of a team. Whether you're self-employed or not, you work well within a structured system and therefore can do well in business. It's likely that both conventional and unorthodox approaches to life appeal, as you understand the advantages in learning from tradition, as well as the benefits of trying new ideas. You've a chance to be very successful as you're neither profligate nor mean, but have a balance. This is a very fortunate aspect. If you don't take your abilities for granted but use them wisely you can gain great success in life.

Saturn Hard Mars

An unfavourable combination of the planets Saturn and Mars can indicate difficulties in your profession, particularly in partnerships or companies. You need to be careful to avoid litigation, which you're like to lose. Of course this depends largely on other influences in your chart. Nevertheless you need to act with the utmost integrity within your career to ensure success rather than scandal.

Neptune Conjunct Midheaven

Neptune, the planet of creativity and spirituality, is atop your horoscope suggesting that these ideals are an important feature of your vocation. From an early age you may have been aware that your calling was to become spiritually active in the world. While you may not know what this actually looks like, you feel deeply moved by the urge to be of service. In vocational pursuits you long to find a way to express the divine. Generally this will be either through being a helper or an artist. Your path in life is never clear cut; therefore you need the courage of your convictions and faith in your beliefs to sustain yourself in the world. Confusion, uncertainty and not knowing where you are going are common feelings when you reflect on your career. Your vocation is a work in progress but in the meantime it is important to bring the creative and spiritual aspects of your nature into the open.

Neptune Sextile Ascendant

This planet progresses very slowly throughout your lifetime. Therefore you are likely to have this aspect in your birth chart. This progression may emphasise your urge to express the intuitive and artistic side of your personality.

Neptune Square NorthNode

In your horoscope Neptune forms a right angle to the Nodal Axis. Traditionally this is often a testing aspect; however, when aspecting the Nodal Axis, Neptune has a unique function to play in terms of your vocation. An established way to think about this aspect is to place Neptune at the bending in the cycle, a time when a change of course is imminent. Therefore in terms of the course of your vocation it is necessary to face your own spiritual and creative needs.

This suggests that you will be challenged to continuously re-imagine your vocation in order to feel fulfilled by what you do. When your life direction becomes run of the mill or you feel your vocational path does not provided enough creative sparks or spiritual sustenance you will feel moved to seek out some soulful nourishment. While it may be difficult to inject some creativity or spirituality into your job, it is necessary for you to introduce this into your life or you will feel haunted by a sensation of purposelessness. This can be done in numerous ways; a few suggestions might be volunteer work for the needy or underprivileged, an art or photography class, playing music, following a spiritual discipline, a rendezvous with the imagination through dream work or Tarot, or an engagement with the soul through a form of devotion. When you feel fulfilled in this aspect of your life you are better able to know how to infuse your work with meaning and soul. However you invite the creative spirit into your life is not the issue; it is the fact that you need to in order to find fulfillment that is critical. And once you are able to do that you feel that you have turned a corner in your life, bending towards a more authentic way to follow your life path. It is important that you channel your creative imagination, as without a structure for it you may find that you are bypassing your vocation.

Neptune Soft Pluto

The planets Neptune and Pluto both move slowly through the zodiac, and therefore any connection between the two planets affects birth charts for a short period of time. You were born in such a time. This combination in your chart means that you're interested in opportunities to bring about fundamental change to human values. You are aware of injustices in society and, depending on other influences in your chart, may prefer to fight against them rather than sit back and accept the ills of society. Your creative urges may be linked to politics, or expressing your political views through the arts or spiritual or charitable organisations.

Pluto trine Neptune

With Pluto Trine Neptune, you experience a dynamic psychic link 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 Venus

The North Node and the planet Venus are combining in your chart suggesting that your destiny is linked with the need to develop harmonious and balanced relationships. Relationships play an important role in your accomplishments. You are joyous when you're part of a team, working in collaboration with other people to achieve your objectives.

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.

SouthNode Soft Venus

The South Node and the planet Venus are combining in your chart to suggest that relationships play a key role in either helping or preventing you from achieving your purpose. Perhaps you struggle to relate intimately with other people, or perhaps you need to learn independence in order to focus on your own objectives. Either way, a major part of your life is spent learning about personal relating skills so that you can achieve your mission.

Chiron square Pluto

There is a deep wound because you were made to feel you were not in control of yourself, your life, or your direction, and as a result, there is a very strong need to be the master of your own fate, the captain of your own ship. There is almost the feeling that ‘it cannot be any other way’. On a positive level you develop a great deal of self-control and a thirst for new and better ways to improve yourself.

Another side to the wound is that you are extremely sensitive to the environment. If healing has not begun, there is the danger of feeling that other things, and people, are encroaching on ‘your space’, or that others are trying to take your power away from you.

Another expression of this square is the need for continual self-discovery, and a great deal of curiosity to delve into the unknown. The negative expression is an anxious concern that others are delving too deeply into your personal affairs, interfering, and invading privacy.

Still another manifestation of this aspect is the desire for a world in which every person should have the right to manage his/her own life. Positively, you will go out of your own way to help others do this, striving to secure for each individual the same opportunities. In the negative expression there is a danger of dividing people in to ‘us and them’, and trying to give opportunities to ‘us’ at the expense of ‘them.’

Chiron quincunx Midheaven

Quincunx is always an aspect of adjustment. Chiron shows where one needs to focus on healing, and in many ways it can be said to show the hero’s journey, the dragons one must overcome in order to become whole. The Midheaven is how you’d like the outside world to see you, and so it is your public image and the career roles you take on. Putting these together shows that you have some very deep wounds which have many levels, and have impacted on you as a child, what you wanted to be when you grew up, and as an adult, the way you see yourself professionally and dealing with the public. As a result, your career will be an ongoing journey of healing as you uncover this pain, that hurt, and work to heal them.

It can be quite difficult, with periods of seemingly long-term discomfort and perhaps low self-esteem, forcing you to adjust your ego ideal, your interaction with the public, and the career choices you make.

This can go on until you come to terms with the fact that your life will never become set, unchanging; you will always be evolving, you must always be open to new ways of looking at yourself and what you are doing with your life; and that each time you go through the healing of another wound you are stronger, more whole, and more able to handle the next ‘dragon’ you need to face.

Chiron quincunx Neptune

No one alive today was born with Neptune quincunx Chiron.

Chiron opposition Venus

This aspect does give you a completely unique taste in arts; such that it could lead you to create a whole new style or school of art, if you express the artiste within you. You find beauty in objects others may overlook, look down on, or close their eyes to. When it comes to personal value systems, yours is distinctly unique. Many people with this aspect follow their own path privately within society; others leave society altogether. For some there arises a personal imperative to show society where and how it is wrong to teach others about false values versus true values.

In relationships, you have many lessons to learn, and may find it difficult to remain in a lasting relationship. Part of the difficulty comes from a very basic Venus concept of self-worth. There is a deep wound within you that can cause you, at some level, to always compare your worth to that of other people, and often find yourself lacking by comparison. A major lesson that needs to be learned is to end the comparing, and to enjoy both your own unique worth, and the different but equally unique worth of others. Positively, you are the type of person that fights for the rights and the values you cherish. You are truly aghast at finding injustices, and will work to do something about them.

The potential here is for you to be a very caring, giving person, once you have come to terms with your own Venus (what you truly find as valuable, what you want to attract into your life). As you grow to like yourself, you will grow to become the type of person who will go out of their way to see that others have any opportunities they need. You will give the proverbial ‘shirt off your back’, if you feel that it really will do some good.

Everyone, male and female, has a feminine side, an anima or animus. With Chiron opposition Venus, there is a lot of pain deep within connected with this part of your nature. Any aspect between Chiron and Venus shows that there were major issues dealing with your sexual role, and/or your relationship with members of the opposite sex. When this aspect expresses negatively, it can be the most extreme case of being unable to deal with one’s own anima or animus as the case may be.

Perhaps you were if a male ridiculed for your feminine side as a child. Or perhaps you were not allowed to indulge in it. (I’ve seen, for example, cases where a male child was discouraged from doing things like painting, or enjoying poetry, made to feel these were ‘not appropriate’ for boys.) Another possibility is the other extreme, that you were judged for being too male, having too much ‘testosterone’, so to speak.

The healing begins when you embrace your feminine side, and find a way to balance it with your masculine side, bringing about wholeness. When the wound is really intense, I have seen some males with extreme ‘macho’ behaviour along with a lot of difficult relationships, and other males going in the exact opposite direction, becoming super-feminine and still having trouble with relationships.

Chiron conjunct Moon

No matter what the rest of your chart is like, this aspect makes you very sensitive to vibrations of all types, so you must learn early in life some deep philosophy which takes into account unseen forces. If you don’t, you can grow up terrified of forces beyond your control. For some, this takes on a deep interest in a profound religion, but in whatever direction you were pulled towards, you needed some belief that allowed you to accept your sensitivity, and to accept the forces around you as part of the universe.

You are also extremely susceptible to influence from your personal environment, and soon develop very unique criteria (tastes) about what it takes to make you comfortable. For some it is a choice to live in a residence that other people would feel are anything but normal. (One person I know sought out a place to live in that is haunted; another moved into a house made entirely of rubber tires.)

There is a side to this aspect that can be summed up in the phrase, ‘the hunger’. On some level as a child you felt you were not getting enough of your needs fulfilled, perhaps not enough food, or enough nurturing, or comfort. As a result, until you heal the wound, you seem never to quite get your fill of something. For some, it is food, and they eat way too much; for some it is security, and they fear going out into the world; for some, it is the warmth of a companion, and they are very needy in relationships. The key to healing is to delve into the roots of your feelings, understand why you felt deprived, and forgive those who made you feel that way. In this way you can free yourself from the hunger that is rooted in the wound, and live more in the present.

Should you choose to, you can easily sway people’s emotions because you are able to tune into feelings common to everyone; some emotions most people can identify within themselves. You probably have an instinctive understanding of how to help others, as you have a deep empathy for the pains and sufferings they feel. Especially those that suffer because they must go without.

You most likely had a mother who was quite unique in some way, perhaps a researcher or pioneer in some area, or simply someone who loved to open new doors to see what was on the other side. Or she may have been involved in medicine, health, or healing, trying to find out how to help people. As a result you inherited a deep curiosity yourself, and an instinctive dislike of closed doors, a belief that nothing should block you from finding answers.
