Your Sun Sign

Sun in Sagittarius

In Sagittarius we encounter the human virtue of faith that encourages each soul to know the continuity of life through its darkest moments. With your Sun in Sagittarius you are blessed with this gift of faith. Your positive spirit can soothe the troubled soul and your innate wisdom can guide the weary traveller. Your zodiacal messenger is an archer whose bow is taut, ready to release an arrow towards the heart of the galaxy. This arrow suggests your power of perception and your ability to penetrate to the heart of the matter. With your Sun in Sagittarius you are a positivist and urge to act according to the highest values and principles possible. You flee from futility by focusing your arrows on a faraway target, one that is preferably unknown. Whether this is an overseas locale or a philosophical ideal, you are on a quest to make the foreign familiar and participate in broadening your horizons of life.

Your instinct to the religious and philosophical as well as your urge to develop spiritually will lead you into many different cultures, beliefs, ideas and places. You must ascribe meaning to the world around you and in order to do this you search for the answers to metaphysical questions. You are naturally far sighted. Your inner vision extends far beyond what the naked eye can see. You are intuitively orientated, following your instinct and sensitivity, in the face of scepticism and statistics, trusting in the reality of internal perceptions. Buoyed by your faith you are confident in the power of positive thinking and spiritual insight. Conviction is your empowerment and the certainty of your beliefs allows a buoyant attitude even through the most difficult of times. Protected by an armada of affirmations you can always be optimistic, even at the darkest hour. William Wordsworth defined faith as 'a passionate imagination', as it is an act of lovingly engaging with the divine. Your ability to conceive of a more worthy life, to know the existence of something greater than just what is visible and the urge to search for a higher purpose in life requires your courageous spirit and open mind. You need to explore cross-culturally and journey beyond the safety of what is familiar. Therefore you are highly motivated by adventures into the unknown whether it is through physical travel, intellectual discoveries or educational opportunities. Vocationally you are well suited to any sphere that offers you the opportunity to educate, administer, publish or inspire others.

What is moral and right is of great importance. You live by a code of ethics that inspires you to do what is noble, non-discriminatory, honourable and just. You seek temperance, moderation and balance in order to find the middle path and discern between right and wrong. For you right action is not imposed by an external moral code but spontaneously springs from your inner respect for all of life. When you act ethically you feel closer to the divine and therefore closer to your goals in life. Your capacity to search for meaning and establish your own belief system, free from the prejudices and opinions of others, is your vocation. But one of your greatest initiations is the experience of having faith in the process of life. When you are armed with a reason you can face anything. To find your vitality and spirit and to feel soulful, you need to strive for justice and temperance and remain enthusiastic and optimistic about the world. Your ideals, ethics and positive nature need to be your constant companions.

Your Moon Sign

Moon in Libra

Having your Moon in Libra reflects your need for harmony and co-operation. To feel safe you need your environment to be peaceful, uncluttered and orderly. If your external surrounds are messy and in disarray, then this affects your mood and ability to feel well. Naturally you are polite, welcoming and gracious but in an unpleasant atmosphere you find yourself being rude and unpleasant. Therefore to care for the soul, surround yourself with what is pleasing and calming. Your need to beautify and place things harmoniously could also be a feature of your vocation. Whether you literally choose a career as an interior designer, feng shui practitioner, professional artist, beautician or stage designer, you will bring your innate urge to harmonise into whatever career path you choose.

As a youngster you were always aware of differences, whether that was the delicate balance between the sexes or the way someone else was behaving. You have a natural tendency to judge others in order to know what you liked or didn't like. Your ability to judge is high, and therefore you have an instinctual ability for making detailed and considered appraisals when asked to make a judgement. You have a keen awareness of others and an urge to relate. Naturally your vocational path is about relationship, first and foremost in your own personal relationships where making choices is not as easy. Your urge to work in a partnership or in close co-operation with others might be reflected in a close business partnership or working in one-to-one situations with clients.

In nurturing professions the Moon in Libra would naturally be inclined towards individual or relationship counselling, marriage guidance, conflict resolution, where negotiation and relating skills need to be well developed. Your social skills, hospitality, ability at conflict resolution and beguile are your strong characteristics.

Your Rising Sign

Ascendant in Aries

Your destiny is to actively seek your purpose in life, taking the initiative rather than waiting until circumstances are comfortable. This may come easily to you if other aspects of your Birth Chart (and therefore personality) support this goal. However, this may be a challenge if part of you often prefer comfort and security. Your Ascendant in Aries denotes enterprise, enthusiasm, self-assertion and initiative. You are likely to experience more satisfaction throughout life if you can incorporate these qualities. You need to be frank, pioneering, headstrong and self-reliant. You revel in anything that enables you to take the initiative, avoiding following other people's lead in preference for striking out into new territory. You value challenges, particularly those that test you physically and mentally. It's likely that your purpose is linked to taking the initiative, starting something new that benefits other people. Your intellect is keen, and you're full of ideas. All of these traits can propel you on a journey which is meaningful and of true worth. Money does not provide you with happiness. If you seek projects for the sake of making money only, then you are likely to become dissatisfied with your work, profession and perhaps with life. It is important with this Ascendant that you continue to seek new challenges, rather than stay in a situation because it provides material comfort only. Your soul wants to soar. Money may provide you with the freedom to experience life to its fullest potential, but you must ensure that you move forward when you hear that still small voice calling. Meditation may help you slow down long enough to listen to your true calling. If you would like to focus on a positive affirmation connected to money then with your Aries Ascendant you could use this one from “Creating Money – Keys to Abundance”by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer “I change the world around me by changing myself”.

Planets in Signs

Mercury in Sagittarius

The planet Mercury in the zodiac sign of Sagittarius indicates that you're a born philosopher, enjoying any information which helps you see the big picture. You don't like getting caught up in the details of everyday life, preferring a more grandiose picture. You can often be found at the hub of any project which requires a vision for the future, as long as you can leave the details to someone else. You enjoy religion, as long as it incorporates all religious viewpoints and people from all walks of life. For you can't tolerate intolerance. You enjoy talking to people from a variety of cultures and backgrounds, and of all ages, as this gives you the feeling that the world is your oyster. You also enjoy studying, whether it be in the halls of academia or the halls of life. You're a seeker of knowledge. At some stage in your life, you may also enjoy teaching others. Astrologically speaking, the planet Mercury is considered to be in detriment in the sign of Sagittarius. This means that you must be wary of becoming too grandiose and idealistic in your thinking. While the big picture is important, it's also important to slow down and attend to the details in life.

Venus in Scorpio

With Venus in the sign of Scorpio you're ardent and passionate in your primary relationship, and insist that your partner returns the intensity of your emotions. You're likely to enjoy the heights of passion if your love is matched in its intensity, finding yourself thrust into a world of almost painful pleasure. Sensual pleasure is important to you, although you also like to discover your partner's innermost thoughts and feelings. Problems can occur when your love isn't returned, or if your partner can't keep the intense fires of passion burning. Then you're likely to suffer the depths of despair, perhaps even resorting to manipulation in order to keep your partner's attention. Secret liaisons could play a part in your relationships, either your own or your partner's, particularly if the intensity becomes too claustrophobic. Jealousy and thoughts of vengeance can be a problem, although you would be wise not to give in to follow these avenues. Your challenge is to use your resources to find a middle path between the highs and lows of intense emotions within relationships. Your relationships can then flourish as important resources in your life. At some stage in your life you may benefit financially or through a legacy from an important relationship.

Mars in Capricorn

The planet Mars in the sign of Capricorn indicates that you're motivated by ambition. "A job worth doing is a job worth doing well" could be a good motto for your approach to both your personal and professional life. You have a serious side to your nature which seems to hold you back when you're young, but stands you in good stead as you grow older. You're cautious, slow to take risks, preferring the tried and true path trodden by others before you. It's not that you want to rely on other people. Quite the contrary. You're self-reliant and independent. It's simply that you're a serious person, who prefers to take things slowly and make sure that your responsibilities are carried out properly. You're a quiet achiever, reliable and trustworthy. You may not be as good as others at sounding your own trumpet, but you quietly achieve all that you set out to achieve, even if you do take a little longer than others. For this reason you're easily noted for promotion and leadership roles later in life as those in authority come to value your skills. It's also possible that you prefer working independently of other people, in which case you'll benefit through your business or professional associations. This is fortunate because you're eager to get ahead in life. The planet Mars is considered to be in a favourable position in the sign of Capricorn and therefore it's likely that you achieve your ambitions, although perhaps later in life.

Jupiter in Aquarius

You've the planet Jupiter in the zodiac sign of Aquarius in your birth chart indicating that as a broad-minded and liberal person you like to be allowed to follow your own original path through life. You're also equally happy to accept other people's freedom to follow their own path, no matter how unusual that may be. While conscious of the rights of individuals, you are also a humanitarian and like to see each person contributing their gifts to humanity. Your interests may be linked with the fields of science and metaphysics, or it may simply be that you've an unusual approach to a traditional field. It's certainly true that you've an original and inventive approach to life, and this can be inspirational to other people. You're cheerful and social, and enjoy exchanging ideas with other people in convivial circumstances. You're likely to spread your unusual ideas through teaching or in lectures in academic circles or foreign countries. At times you can be so involved in intellectual pursuits that you're indifferent to the ordinary affairs 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 Sagittarius

The planet Neptune was in the sign of Sagittarius from 1970 - 1984. 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.

Neptune in the sign of Sagittarius indicates that you belong to a generation possessing the gift of spiritual vision. You'll be able to help humanity focus on spiritual goals and become more expansive and inclusive of differing races and beliefs.

Pluto in Pisces

The planet Pluto was in the sign of Pisces from 2043 - 2067. 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 Pisces suggests that you belong to a generation of spiritual attainment. Your generation possesses the ability to break down traditional spiritual and religious barriers, and to pave the way to a new understanding. Yours is the healing generation.

Chiron in Aquarius

You may sense that you do not fit in to the mainstream, indeed you may not want to, and may prefer to stand apart. Trying to fit in, forcing issues, feeling isolated or cut off, or having to change your approach in order to fit in, can cause you stress. On the one hand, you value your independence and creative freedom, but having autonomy comes with a sense of isolation. You can also feel uncertain about your identity. This is the key to your wound.

As you search for your identity, you are likely to be interested in alternative approaches to living. Creative expression is important to you, but you may have trouble finding your particular niche until you understand more about yourself. Don't be disheartened by a lack of immediate results as you explore your options. You may mistakenly believe that your progress should be faster, or should happen with greater ease, but that is not the case. You sometimes think that you are right and everyone else is wrong, or vice versa. It is possible you may be resistant to new ideas, information or technology, or be well ahead of the times and full of new ideas that you have trouble getting off the ground. Circulation problems, high or low blood pressure, burnout, panic attacks, nervous disorders, or headaches can be signals that you need to relax and go with the flow. Find a balance between fluctuating extremes and try to keep an open mind. Try meditation, hypnotherapy, homoeopathy, or acupuncture. Explore a variety of alternative and non-traditional options.

Healing will truly come to you, when you learn to remove any mental blocks and honour your uniqueness.

Discovering more about yourself will lead you to express your creativity and embrace your individuality. In your search, explore a range of options, ideas and lifestyles. As you do so, you will come to know yourself better by becoming aware of the similarities and differences between yourself and others. The by-product of these encounters is your growing self-awareness and insight that will eventually lead you to find your true self and a way to express your unique creativity.

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 6th house

You were born when the Moon had set. Being just below the horizon, your 6th house Moon plays a major role in your attachment to work and the way you nurture yourself. With the Moon in this sphere, it needs to be used productively through daily tasks and labours, seeking its expression in the continuity of ritual. Being the most personal of all the planets it suggests that you have your own individual needs and private routines that must be integrated into the work sphere. You need to be attentive to what you need in your work routines. Therefore it is important that you are safe and secure where you work, feel that you belong and are a member of the work team. In fact you prefer your work team to be like family and often go about making your workplace your nest. You do need the continuity between work and home and therefore personal pictures, mementos, souvenirs, kids' drawings and your favourite coffee mug probably adorn your worktable or desk. It is important to make the workplace like home and your work mates like your family. But it is this very instinct to mother your work mates that can often lead to feelings being bruised.

Therefore it is wise to be cognisant of your propensity to bring intimate needs into the workplace and then feel hurt when they are not reciprocated. Another way to focus your urge to nurture in the workplace is through occupations of service and duty. You are naturally drawn to healing, restoration and caring; therefore it is quite common for this astrological image to be reflected in health occupations, work with children or the elderly, as a midwife, a nurse or a carer. But there are many ways this image may manifest. Drawn to the past, the Moon in the 6th may excel at collecting antiquities, restoring furniture, historical research, genealogy or occupations involving food like chefs, restaurant work, catering. However this archetype presents itself, the underlying urge is to be of service.

Consider your needs at work. No doubt you need to work, but why? If you are able to tap the underlying needs and start to support them, then you will be taken care and feel secure. It is work that makes you secure, not the pay cheque or the retirement benefits. Therefore the secret to your fulfillment at work is that you find employment that you feel you belong to and where you feel needed, part of the whole. This fulfillment then provides you with the security and contentment you seek. Also be mindful of your personal rituals. You might prefer shift work, work from home, a family business or home industry; however, this might manifest it is imperative to recognise that you have to meet your own individual work needs.

You are also highly sensitised to the atmosphere of your work environment, the moods of your work mates and the ethos of the industry you work in. Therefore protect yourself from situations which are not conducive to your sensitivity. When work stress builds up you will feel it in the gut; it is telling you have had a gut full, and it is time to become more separate and take care of yourself. If you hear yourself saying you are sick of work, take heed as you may well become sick just to get some time off! Work is a necessity of your life and a major attachment whether you would like it to be or not. Therefore it is imperative you take good care of your health, diet, and daily regimen. But first make sure work is a safe and restorative experience.

Mercury in 8th House

As the planet of communications progresses into the 8th House of your Birth Chart you may start to change your mind on some important matters. Gradually you see the light when it comes to certain issues. Secrets may be revealed, or you may start to gather new information for a new topic of interest. Resources are more readily available and this is a beneficial time to gradually reassess your financial investments, as well as how you invest your emotional energy. It is also possible that you gradually find the inner resources to tackle some tricky emotional, financial or metaphysical matters.

Venus in 7th House

The planet of love is progressing slowly through your marriage sector. You can look at the moment that this lucky planet first triggered the sensitive axis of love, however; you are likely to feel its warm and loving rays for some time. If you are single and asking the question, "When will I find love?" then the answer is very soon, if not already. Now is an excellent time to focus on the type of person who you would like to attract into your life. It has been said that some spend more time shopping for shoes or cars that searching for a life-time partner. Well this is your time to rectify any oversights when it comes to love. It is time to draw up your relationship wishlist, decide what is negotiable and not-negotiable and then socialise in places that you enjoy and which are possible meeting places. Perhaps someone already exists? Have you taken a look at friends close to home? Once you have drawn up your relationship wishlist then you may be well advised to re-think some of your friendships in the light of possible romance. As this planet moves through this sector you may feel more and more determined to find love. However, you need to avoid feelings of desperation. As a television character in "Big Bang Theory" states, do not indulge in "desperation emanation, of anti-phermones". If you find that you are becoming somewhat "desperate" then turn your attention to self-improvement, in particular grooming and pleasurable activities. Ask yourself, "would I like to be married to me?" the good news is that you are likely to attract not one but many potential lovers during this phase, so focus on what you value most and enjoy. If you are married then this period could signal a time of renewed romance. Set aside some time for activities that promote fun, pleasure and romance.

Mars in 11th House

During this period of your life you are likely to advance your own goals and ambitions through your friends, associations and groups. As a consequence you may feel an urge to join a club or group, perhaps even taking on a leadership role. Your efforts are likely to be noted. For this reason you are best advised to do your best to remain a calm and forceful leader, brokering peace and diplomacy whenever possible. Your status in society is likely to increase through belonging to a group that truly reflects your own hopes, dreams and wishes while also benefitting society at large.

Jupiter in 12th House

Jupiter is also in the 12th House of your chart signifying that in life's most despairing moments you've the ability to dig deep into a well of optimism and overcome all difficulties. You're a kind-hearted person who likes to help anyone who is suffering, perhaps even working in a charitable organisation. You're more likely to work behind the scenes rather than taking on a public role, refusing to accept public accolades. Nevertheless your good works don't go unnoticed and you're likely to benefit in other ways. It's possible that you work in an institution such as a hospital or museum, where you can work quietly and unobserved. If you do have an active public life, then you benefit greatly from extended periods of time spent in seclusion. You've a great respect for ancient wisdom, the spiritual teachings of past civilisations. Secret societies may also play a beneficial role in your life. Although you may suffer setbacks during your life, these are followed by successful periods.

Saturn in 7th 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 7th House of your Birth Chart indicating that marriage, contracts and treaties are serious matters indeed. If you were born with Saturn in the 7th House then you already understand the importance of making a personal or business commitment. If not then then you are likely to learn through experience. Either way you need to face your fears of commitment, make realistic assessments and where possible seek professional advice. This way you can form lasting and worthwhile bonds in marriage or business contracts.

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 7th House

The planet Neptune placed in the 7th House of your chart means that you're searching for perfection in your intimate relationships. On a positive note you can become involved in a creative partnership, enjoying romantic and artistic pursuits. You may also benefit from a marriage that is based on shared spiritual ideals. However, it's also likely that you suffer pain and loss in your marriage and business partnerships at some stage in your life. This could be emotional pain, financial loss or perhaps even the death of a partner. It's possible that you could avoid the pain associated with this placement of the planet Neptune by forming a long-lasting relationship, based on spiritual or artistic interests. It's also possible that you suffer in a deceptive relationship early in life, and then go on to form a lasting and loving relationship. Either way you're susceptible to pain in your primary relationship, because you have such high ideals. Although you can enjoy the initial excitement of any new partnership, you've a tendency to become disillusioned as the imperfections of others become all too obvious. You need to be particularly careful of business partnerships, because you're vulnerable to deception and loss. This is particularly true of legal agreements, and you're likely to come off second best in any legal conflict. It's also possible that your grandmother had an important influence on your early childhood and family life, influencing your expectations of relationships.

Pluto in 12th House

The planet Pluto is in the 12th House of your birth chart indicating that one of your biggest challenges is to overcome your overwhelming sense of responsibility for other people's problems. This is quite a feat because you're often at the centre of conflict without really understanding why. This probably started when you were a young child, and seemed to be the focus of the rest of your family's aggression. Perhaps you couldn't seem to stop yourself getting into trouble, feeling compelled to get into mischief. It's also possible that there was no justification for the accusations. As an adult you again seem to be in the thick of conflict, even if it's now the role of mediator or spokesperson, rather than perpetrator. These situations seem to happen even if you don't want to be involved. It could be that you've the inability to say "no" to others people's problems, or that you're swept along by events. As a result you may have the urge to study psychology or another avenue that explores the unconscious realms of the human psyche. You may also be drawn to study secret arts such as magic or alchemy. Once you've gained some understanding of this pattern of behaviour, you may choose to be an advocate on other people's behalf. Making a choice is very different from being caught up seemingly against your will.

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 11th House

In Greek myth Chiron was the carrier of the ancient ways of healing, divination and magic. As a vestige of the past Chiron was marginalised in the shift when rational medicine and science became the dominant paradigm. Chiron is marginal to the rational sphere and therefore feels excluded and excommunicated from the modern world where linear thinking, information and certainty are prized. In the 11th House Chiron struggles to be part of a group which is conformist and conventional. Instead you need to find like minded others who also are marginal to the prevailing paradigm. With Chiron in the 11th finds you will find your tribe outside convention and tradition feeling at home with groups who are interested in the authentic ancient ways.

In each of the houses of relationship Chiron’s experiences the archetype of the outsider. In the 11th the individual will often feel outside the group or excluded from associations and organisations you are a member of. In a developmental way this is a painful experience as your feelings of exclusion often fester and become a wound. In order to insure that these do not become chronic or lifelong wounds it is imperative for you to understand that your communal life exists away from the mainstream. Your colleagues are also marginal and share the similar wound of feeling apart. While your soul group may exist outside convention, your role is to act as a mentor or healer in the group’s experience since you are able to see things differently or from another perspective. With Chiron in the 11th you are able to remain on the sidelines to comment on what is taking place at the centre of the group. In this way you are be a spokesperson for radical ideals, controversial ideas and groundbreaking social reform. Underlying Chiron in the 11th is a bigger agenda about healing the tribe!

Close friendships are healing boons. With Chiron in the 11th you are drawn to friends who are both mentors and guides. However in return you are able to offer healing in your mutual companionship. This placement also suggests your friends and close associates can help heal your wounds of feeling disconnected from others and may help to reshape your earlier feelings of not belonging. With Chiron in the 11th you are prone to recreating your feelings of abandonment through your relationships with colleagues and associates. Therefore with this placement it is imperative to recognise your unconscious patterns and become more aware of your role in your friendships. The friend and the group are both arenas of wounding and healing and therefore while you may have experienced the pain of being excluded from the system, you must return to the group to find your salvation. Your kindred spirits will also be friends who feel disenfranchised, yet with their support and love you will find a place to belong.

Nodes

NorthNode in Sagittarius

You were born with the North Node in Sagittarius and the South Node in Gemini, the mutable polarity of the zodiac which aligns with the quest for knowledge and truth. Your South Node suggests that you have a curiosity for life while your North Node suggest a call to adventure, to quest for truth and meaning seeking answers to the larger questions of life. Therefore vocationally it is important to pack a suitcase or strap on a backpack as preparation for a journey of discovery and education. To discover your pathway in the world you will need freedom of movement and lots of opportunities to be mobile. Opportunities for growth, advancement and learning as well as your intuitive and strategic abilities need to be fostered in a career. You need to know that you have an infinite range of possibilities, a freedom of movement, wide-open spaces and a limitless promise of discovery in your career; anything less is disappointing!

Your invitation is to be able to perceive the bigger picture out of the infinite information and communication available. Your task is to make the information meaningful, offer vision in a short sighted environment, see beyond the details and inject spirit into a soulless world. You must battle the dragon of being too logical and rational and use the divine gift of your intuition and perception to make a difference. While you feel more comfortable in the square your destiny lies outside it and you will be called on to be much more visionary and far seeing than you are comfortable with. Your destination points towards education and mentoring. Somewhere along the way you have accumulated a tremendous amount of information, facts and data. In fact you may still feel that you need to gather more through classes, courses and programs. However this may leave you feeling stuck in the role of apprentice and learner, rather than what your destiny pulls you towards and that is the role of educator and visionary. Somehow it is imperative to channel your learning into the creation of new systems of knowledge and education. Your idealism and interest in social education and reform may require that there is a degree of social involvement in your occupation.

Ethics, morals and ideals are important; therefore it is essential that your work reflects your personal ethics. You need to be involved with something that you can believe in and recommend. Your philosophical and humanistic view of the world needs to be utilised, as then an enthusiastic energy that inspires and motivates others is natural. Vocations involving the dispensation of knowledge, sales, motivation and encouraging others to perform beyond their limits are natural for you. Your need for freedom and the necessity to fully express yourself to pursue your goals openly and honestly is important.

Aspects

Sun Conjunct Midheaven

You were born near midday, as the Sun had reached its highest peak. Like the bright Sun you are called to shine in the world suggesting your destiny is to be identified through your career. Your vocation is a call to know yourself and you will identify strongly with your work and profession. The Solar qualities of leadership, fathering, fostering, creativity, self-expression, confidence and courage are important to develop. It is helpful to understand that, like all vocations, there will be peaks and troughs, successes and failures, as well as critical moments of transition. It is imperative to be as aware of the times of descent and the shadows along your career path, as it is the ascent and light.

Sun Hard Moon

When the Sun and the Moon are combining unfavourably in your chart, it means that you're likely to have difficulty succeeding in life. You may have trouble in money matters, struggle with employment, and suffer at the hands of other people. You should be particularly wary of troublesome women, who could create obstacles to you achieving your goals. In some cases, this combination can also mean that you suffer from ill health, which further hinders your chances of success.

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.

Moon Soft Neptune

The Moon and the planet Neptune are connected in your birth chart indicating that you're a soft, imaginative and sensitive person, who needs a peaceful home environment. Your home needs to be your haven from the world because at times you feel overwhelmed by the harsh realities of the world, and you need to shut away. If this isn't possible then it's likely that you'll be distressed and confused. It's true that you live in a fantasy world. Family members may have stories about your daydreaming ways as a child, which continue well into adulthood. It's also possible that your loved ones feel the need to bring you back down to earth, believing that this will help you cope with the world. Nevertheless you've learned to trust your own instincts, telling you of a need to escape somewhere to dream, even if it's only one room. In this case a room with a beautiful view would definitely appeal to your aesthetic nature. Your imagination is important in helping you to develop your artistic or spiritual gifts. It's likely that your relationship with your mother, grandmother, or an important woman has played a key role in helping you develop the imaginative side of your nature. Perhaps this woman had artistic or spiritual gifts, or encouraged your own talents. It's likely that, although you've an idealised picture in your mind of this woman, that she has had a positive effect on your life. Your house may also be a restful haven for your loved ones, because you've a flair for creating a peaceful environment. This may be your ability to listen with sensitivity to other people's problems and plans, or the ability to create beautiful environment with artistic ornaments, soothing music and indoor plants and flowers. Perhaps you also have artistic talents, which can be displayed in your home. You may find a great sense of satisfaction in living close to water.

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 Hard Saturn

Much of your adult life has been spent trying to overcome the difficulties that you faced as a child in your home and family. Astrologically speaking this is because the planet Saturn is contacting the Moon in your birth chart. Ancient astrologers believed that the planet Saturn had a malefic influence in a person's chart. In your case your early home life has been adversely affected. The extent of this effect depends largely on other influences in your chart. In some cases it can mean that your childhood home lacked spontaneity and warmth, but was well-organised and structured in a manner which helped you to feel supported and safe. However, it's more likely that circumstances in your family led to you feeling that home was a cold and unsupportive environment. This could have been one painful incident such as the loss of a family member, or it could have been the result of years of hardship. It's possible that one of your parents, perhaps your mother, was a strict and severe influence, unable to show you the affection that you felt you deserved. As a result it's likely that you're somewhat shy as an adult, lacking in self-confidence and sensitive to criticism. You may be emotionally reserved. Perhaps you have chosen at some stage in your life to live in solitude rather than risk the lack of affection and warmth that you felt as a child. As you grow older and work on your self-esteem you can build a lasting maturity. You develop an inner self-confidence which helps you build firm foundations in your life and achieve your ambitions, as well as loving family relationships. You work solidly to build yourself a secure and firm footing, earning the respect of those around you. You can succeed in business and in your career, particularly through being noticed by your superiors. You may also benefit through investments in land and property.

Moon Sextile Neptune

During this period you are more sensitive to other people and your surroundings. You may feel the urge to pursue a more spiritual path, perhaps rejoining a former religion or joining a new spiritual group. Alternatively you may be drawn to creative or artistic expression. During this period you are more likely to remember your dreams. They may be more vivid, carrying messages for your waking life. Your perceptions are changing in subtle ways. You are rather like the butterfly that is emerging from the cocoon. Enjoy the new emerging you. As a result you will discover new depths and meanings that colour your life.

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 Hard 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. Although you can be secretive by nature, you find it difficult to appreciate other people's need for privacy. You feel impelled to uncover any secret, be it personal or societal. Fortunately you also know how to keep secrets. 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. The 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. 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.

Mercury Conjunction Neptune

You may find it difficult to concentrate right now. Your mind is muddled. It is time to slow down, particularly if you are a mentally focused person. If you are able to, you need to avoid any task that requires mental agility and concentration. Instead allow your mind to wander to more creative pastures. This can be the perfect time to consider an artistic, philanthropic or spiritual interest. A holiday or a spiritual retreat may be beneficial.

Mercury Soft Moon

The planet Mercury is associated with the Moon in your chart indicating you've a quick wit, and a sharp and penetrating mind. Depending on other influences in your chart, you're likely to excel in any studies, but particularly in communications, media studies, research, and languages. You may also be adept at public speaking, because of your sharp mind, and your clear elocution.

Venus Soft Pluto

The combination of the planets Venus and Pluto in your chart indicate that you enjoy commitment and challenge in your personal relationships. Unlike many other people, you're not afraid to make the necessary changes demanded within close relationships. In fact you prefer change, especially if the alternative is a staid and steady relationship. You like to be consumed with love and passion, and are happiest when with a partner who feels the same way. You can be disappointed when others fail to soar to great emotional heights and plummet the emotional depths by your side. You want intensity, perhaps even a little drama, in your primary relationship. You're fiercely loyal and committed, and expect as much from your partner. Problems can arise when you don't feel a strong bond with your partner, or if that bond is threatened, particularly by another person. You're a jealous person, and quite capable of seeking revenge when wronged. You need 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.

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 Saturn

You can succeed in achieving your life goals, but only after you've learnt to balance the conventional and unorthodox sides of your nature. This is because the planets Jupiter and Saturn are making a difficult aspect in your birth chart. There is a dissident side to your nature, which you've difficulty keeping under control. Unrestrained enthusiasm can lead you into trouble. At other times there's an orthodox side which is overly cautious, causing you to hesitate unnecessarily when action is required. Finding the right balance is hard work. Generally speaking you're a poor judge of when to take action and when to wait patiently. As a result you're likely to suffer financial loss if speculating in the business or financial world. You would also do well, if possible, to steer clear of lawsuits. On a positive note when you can blend the two opposing forces you're capable of great things. You can enjoy success in self-employment or be a valued member of a team, particularly in the business world. Once a balance is achieved you're sure of achieving your objectives in life.

Jupiter Soft Pluto

The planets Jupiter and Pluto are making contact in your chart indicating that you've the enthusiasm to live life to the fullest and are likely to succeed in reaching your objectives. You are inclined to think big when tackling projects, preferring the satisfaction that follows the accomplishment of large projects. Whatever project you tackle, you do it in a big way. It's likely that you've many goals in life because you're progressive and ambitious, eager to make the most of opportunities that come your way. What you lack in attention to detail you gain in enthusiasm and energy. You're a natural-born leader or teacher, inspiring others with your grand schemes. You may teach a classroom of adults or children, or on a one-to-one basis or you may simply inspire others by example. You need only to be careful to keep your ego under control, and to make sure that you're not too grandiose. You're likely to succeed in achieving many of your hopes and wishes.

Saturn Soft Pluto

The combination of the planets Saturn and Pluto in your chart suggests that you're an ambitious, insightful and powerful person. You're likely to make a powerful impact on your friends, family, colleagues and loved ones, both as a child and an adult. At times you might be surprised by the extent of other people's reactions to your presence and opinions. You may even surprise yourself by your own reactions to some circumstances. Authority is likely to be a continuing source of difficulty in your life, as you attempt to find the right balance between your own individual rights, and those of the community. Of course there are many instances when these two rights coincide, but you're more likely to find yourself involved in the clashes, perhaps as a mediator. It's possible that you could become involved in someone's power struggles, in which your role may or may not be central to the outcome. It's true that you've the ability to be a powerful leader, perhaps in the government or armed forces, or as an executive or politician. You can be a powerful leader, but first you must learn to use your unique insights for positive purposes. The 19th Century author John Stuart Mill said in his work On Liberty (1859) that: "Everyone who desires power, desires it most over those who are nearest to him, with whom his life is passed, with whom he has most concerns in common, and in whom any independence of his authority is oftenest likely to interfere with his individual preferences". Herein lies a key to your chart. You've the ability to succeed in your ambitions, but first you must learn how to deal with the balance of power in your life, respecting both your own and other people's rights to succeed.

Uranus Soft Neptune

The planets Uranus and Neptune are combining in your chart suggesting that your creative urges are strong. You enjoy exploring new territory, either through studying or travelling and your talents may lie in writing, healing, social welfare, healing or spiritual fields. You may be keen to explore metaphysical matters, perhaps even belonging to a secret society or a group dedicated to global healing, charity or spirituality. Your psychic abilities and intuition are likely to be heightened, and this may help you explore your creativity.

Uranus semisextile Neptune

With Uranus Semisextile Neptune, difficult moments of growth take on more creative meaning because of Zadkiel and Tamiel. Zadkiel is the Angel of Death, and Tamiel of Dreams. Together they extend your understanding of the nature of life and its limits. They also reveal the many ways you can change your life through skillful action.

You have a natural love of ritual. You find, when you think about it, that ritual pervades everything you do. You get along with other people very well because you observe the steps of ritual, entering into each conversation, activity, or association according to socially or culturally defined rules, and in so doing you put other people at ease without undo fuss or bother.

You can develop subconscious talents through conscious expression. In concert with your Angels, you express little pieces of your subconscious awareness in conversation or action. As you do this, you affirm your less conscious abilities and honor them and your Angels. Then your mind is better able to provide ideas and feelings to aid your work.

Inspired idealism may not be what you think you have been looking for, but you are certain to find it eventually. Your Angels send you dreams and ideas all the time, and you have only to pay attention to them. Your idealism provides a foundation for you to help others who experience major disasters or transformations in their lives. When you or others experience loss, your Angels are ready and willing to lift you up.

A potential weakness is the lack of stamina. Physical exercise to build lung capacity and muscle strength is well worth the effort. The physical strength you gain provides a foundation for emotional and spiritual strength.

For mental strength, meditation or yoga provide an organized practice. Kundalini yoga provides a medium for mental focus as well as physical exercise, building all the structures you need to support your developing psychic awareness.

Another possible weakness of structure could lead to high blood pressure and its associated ailments. The above mentioned exercise, meditation, and yoga all serve to reduce blood pressure and strengthen the system so as to avoid dangers of stroke and heart ailments.

Heightened psychic states including clairvoyance are the norm for this combination.

Neptune Conjunct NorthNode

With Neptune floating nearby your North Node your vocational pathway is enriched by your imaginative faculties and creative possibilities. Since youth you have heard the siren's call, drawing you into an enchanted world, not many can see, but one that has always been available to you. Upon entering this world you are engulfed with exalted feelings and transcendent thoughts that lift you up and inspire you. Therefore your invitation is to make your rich inner world a part of your vocation. In our disenchanted world this is no easy feat and it takes a heroic act to bring the sacred into the mundane. You struggle against the tide of what is the consensus reality, valuing what is often invisible to others and honouring what is subtle. Therefore it takes a great strength of spirit to pursue your artistry and vulnerability and not collapse under the sheer weight of the task.

It is not always an easy task to find the place for your Neptunian calling in the world. Vocationally there are two broad categories: one is the sphere of creativity immersing yourself in your imaginative faculties through art, music, literature while the other is to be engaged in helping whether that is as a physical healer, an emotional helper, a spiritual advisor or a psychological counsellor. Your task is to become one with what you do therefore, at times will feel lost in what you do and what you feel you should be doing. The goal is never clear and constantly shifts but more than anyone you know you want to find meaning and soul through you life work. You are ready to dedicate yourself and therefore have no choice but to go in the direction the river of life takes you. Be aware that whatever road you take you have a deep urge to be connected with your soulful essence which can be manifested through your compassion or your creativity. It is not the easiest route as the world does not provide a lot of avenues for this archetype to pursue, therefore call on Providence to assist. You need a muse to remind you of your calling to bring the other world into your everyday.

Neptune semisextile Midheaven

With Neptune forming a semisextile to your Midheaven, your natural psychic ability presents moments when imagination is poignant and bittersweet. You experience the value and importance of psychic information directly and sometimes so pointedly that it is painful. You may have moments of self-doubt that test your core beliefs and yet stimulate creative change.

When the world showers you with glamour and other people try to convince you of realities that don't mesh with your own perceptions, your Angels can help you to express compassion for others, while understanding your own motivations.

On the plus side, Tamiel supports your receptivity, empathy and sensitivity. Awareness of Mind is enhanced through angelic associations, and your contemplative nature expands as you explore your own ego. This may sound odd, as many spiritual belief systems indicate that ego is to be avoided or quelled. However, if you go through ego issues instead of around them, you are better able to resolve them.

Tamiel also supports you by revealing your greatest mental and emotional weaknesses, so that you may resolve them. For example, you may be susceptible to deception, either from others or through yourself. Your Angels help you to perceive deception and to dispel it.

You have a powerful imagination that can be utilized in the search for self-awareness and spiritual consciousness, and your Angels are there to help you.

NorthNode Soft Sun

The North Node and the Sun are combining in your chart to suggest that you need to overcome any inhibitions which stand in the way of you achieving your purpose. You'll feel most joyful when you're fully expressing yourself. It's possible that events will force you to come to terms with your identity in order that you learn to express your fullest potential.

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.

NorthNode Soft Mars

The North Node and the planet Mars are combining to suggest that you're being challenged to become assertive and focussed on your personal goals. Independence and self-confidence are keys to your growth in this life, and you may find yourself thrust into leadership roles.

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 Mars

The South Node and the planet Mars are combining to suggest that you may experience difficulty being assertive and finding the drive to succeed, or alternatively you may have a tendency to misdirect your energies. Your current life lesson is to express your energy positively and assertively. Your talent for independent action needs to be developed so that you can achieve your purpose.

Chiron sextile NorthNode

No entry for this aspect

Chiron trine Moon

One thinks of a trine as being ‘easy’, but Chiron in trine still reflects a lesson that need be learned. With a trine, Chiron teaches that one has a tendency to get stuck in a particular mindset, or emotional set, and Chiron will keep creating one situation after another until you extricate yourself from this mindset and no longer need Chiron’s help.

Trine the Moon, the lesson is to not taking anything for granted. The more you heal from your Chiron wound, the more you learn this lesson, and the more you discover that most people around you never do learn not to take things for granted.

Because of this, you develop the ability to be a good teacher and problem-solver. You can see that a problem may exist simply because things were taken for granted, and can help others to see this possibility. You develop the knack of simplifying complex situations, and for seeing things the way they really are. You learn that even in the most commonplace there may be things beyond your previous knowledge.

Chiron conjunct Mars

This aspect gives you an incredibly strong tendency to do things your own way. When you were a child you may have heard your parents, frequently, saying, “All right, do it your way. Don’t listen to me.” and as an adult it is still difficult for you to accept advice to do something differently than that you had planned.

However, as a child, you WOULD accept advice if you felt that it was coming from a mentor. And that could have had difficult consequences, if the person you saw as mentor was of less than reputable character, or someone prone to poor judgement.

One of the lessons of this aspect is when to take advice, when not to; and who to listen to. As an adult there is still the need to follow your own path to resolve problems, although there is still a desire to listen to advice if you feel it comes backed by some authority noted for special or unique insight, rather than just from your own opinion or some arbitrary authority.

Once you tap into the energy of this aspect you develop a remarkable ability to find the key to overcome other people’s problems and you usually are very concerned with doing just that.

But in your own life it can be quite a different story. You tend to have continual or recurrent problems with Martian things (attacking problems, cutting in to things, taking focused actions, to name a few), over and over, until you learn some major lessons. After that, you can not only work to attack your own problems in unique ways but you may also develop a remarkable insight into what makes other people tick.

There is almost always a unique view of sex, and of sexual roles, which is totally of your own. This is not to say that it is abnormal or unnatural but merely that it seems to be one you have found for yourself, often a bit beyond socially accepted traditions.

One downside of this aspect is that you do make some enemies in life, or at least, alienate some individuals but this is never something you do on purpose. Rather, happens incidental to your tendency to pursue your own ways.

Chiron square Uranus

If you have Chiron square Uranus you are part of a small, select group of people, born either between 1943–1944, or 1997–1998. It is not an easy aspect, can be a great deal of conflict in the life of anyone who has this aspect.

For one thing, you are always your own person never submitting to the dictates of others, a truly ‘one-of-a-kind’ individual. This does not sit well with many of the people you meet.

On a positive level you are an individual who will try something new, if it is important to you, even if you know it might bring ridicule. (Of course you would prefer acceptance, but you would much rather achieve success, or discover the truth, than worry about the opinions of others.)

On a negative level there is a danger that you might attach yourself to any guru or teacher who promises real fulfilment for you, who tells you they will show you your true purpose in life. You need to learn to constantly question rather than following a promise from an unreliable source.

One thing that seems extremely important to everyone with this aspect is that you discover the truth about self, and about life, then once you have found it, to reveal it to others if possible.

Chiron sextile Neptune

This aspect instilled in you a real longing for a ‘Utopia’, and your definition of Utopia is shaped by the sign of your Neptune, in Virgo it is healing the world’s pains, and of you finding the perfect way to be of service to others; in Libra it is a place of peace, harmony, and finding your other half; or in Aquarius, a place of brotherhood, a better future, and where you are able to truly express your unique self. The House position of your Neptune further defines the area of life where the perfect world is dreamt of.

This dream world, fantasy or ideal is seen on some level as the cure to most (if not all) of your problems, and can be projected onto others, seeing it as the cure-all for the problems of others as well.

The wound of this aspect was written about by Don Henley in his song ‘The End of the Innocence’ when he talks of the deep pain that is felt when one loses one’s innocence and discovers that the Utopia one idealized was a fantasy, and would not happen all by itself:

“When ‘happily ever after’fails “And we’ve been poisoned by these fairy tales”

The healing comes when you learn to see what part of your ideal Utopia can be made real if you decide to work to make it happen.

Positively this aspect gives you the ability to do a great deal for others because of your idealism and imagination. There is a great deal of ‘soul’ in you, and you really can see a world that ‘could be.’

Negatively, if Neptune is too strong, you can lose yourself in the search for the ideal and even, if not careful, end up living in a world that others perceive simply as fantasy.

There is a great potential for healing here, as well as for psychic perceptions.
