Sun soft Venus

The combination of the Sun and the planet Venus in your chart can vary depending on other influences in your chart. Ancient astrologers measured the beneficial or damaging influences of Venus in terms of how close this planet was to the Sun's beams. The closer the planet to the Sun the more detrimental. On the positive side you're fond of company and pleasure, particularly seeking the company of women friends. You take pleasure in caring for your appearance, and in attending pleasurable outings. Dancing, music, art, theatre and other artistic pursuits are also appealing. On the other hand you could be over-indulgent, spending too much time and money on your appearance, and seeking pleasure at the cost of achieving your goals in life.

Moon Trine 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.

Moon Hard Mars

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

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 Hard Jupiter

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

Moon Hard Pluto

The Moon and the planet Pluto are connected in your birth chart indicating that you're an intense and emotional person, prone to extreme highs and lows. You love drama and intensity, because these give you a sense of being deeply connected to your loved ones, and to the world. It's likely that your family and home life are periodically emotionally volcanic. This can be problematic if other members of your family don't desire the same level of intensity, particularly if they're seeking peace and quiet at home. If this is the case your needs are directly opposed to your loved ones', which may not concern you, but could result in dramatic changes in your personal life. This is also a problem because you've a deep sense of commitment to your personal relationships, and feel betrayed if others don't share this commitment. It's likely that your need for emotional intensity originates from an early childhood experience, probably linked with your mother or another strong woman figure. Your relationship with your mother is likely to be immersed with intense feelings, perhaps even stemming from a life-or-death situation. You may feel positively or negatively about your mother. Either way your feelings are likely to be strong. You're a resourceful person, and can rely on your own resources to solve most problems. You need to find a creative outlet for your intense nature, something that will totally absorb your attention. Perhaps you would enjoy property development, or renovating your house. You're a powerful person with leadership skills, and a need for a challenge.

Mercury Hard Neptune

The planets Mercury and Neptune are forming a difficult pattern in your chart suggesting that your mind is sometimes confused causing you to suffer setbacks and delays in your education and communication with other people. At times you're vague, lacking concentration and resolution. It's possible that you've spent many hours day-dreaming, lost in a world of thoughts and ideas which seem to have amounted to very little. This is partly because you lack the ability to make decisions, doubting your own abilities and relying too heavily on the influence of other people. It could also be a result of your lack of self-control. On a positive note other influences in your chart, or the development of self-discipline, can help you achieve your dreams. If this is the case then you're likely to express your thoughts in an artistic or creative manner. This could be through art, poetry, literature, story-telling, or music. It's possible that you possess genius in one of these fields. You're also likely to excel in medical or spiritual circles, where your heightened sensitivity to other people can be truly appreciated. You're more likely to follow an unconventional, rather than orthodox, path if you become involved in medicine. This is because you're attracted in psychic and spiritual phenomena. In fact you may possess psychic gifts. You may also enjoy reflective periods near the water, or with nature.

Mercury SemiSquare 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.

Mars Sextile Neptune

Imagination, intuition and relaxation are all key words that can be applied to your life right now. It is not a time to take on extra responsibilities. Instead you should take some time out and take a vacation by the ocean or in the middle of the countryside. If you cannot get away from your responsibilities at work then perhaps an evening art or meditation class would be more feasible. You need to spend more time in spiritual, artistic and philanthropic pursuits. As a result your imagination and creativity can blossom. If you do not slow down then you may feel lethargic or lack motivation and wonder why. Listen to your intuition and dare to dream.

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 Jupiter

Your friends have difficulty keeping up with you because the planets Mars and Jupiter are combining to give a boundless source of energy. On the whole you're a lively and resourceful person, who delights in good health and keeping busy. Any course of action is entered into with confidence and determination to succeed, which you're likely to do. You're always ready to help those who will help themselves, but you've no qualms about leaving behind those who are determined to rest on their laurels. You certainly know how to get yourself and other people motivated, and can make a good leader or manager. In fact you're quite ambitious, not afraid of tackling big projects. Others may think that you've taken on more than you can handle, but you usually prove them wrong. You're generous, self confident and lucky, with a tendency to go where angels fear to tread. You're also courageous, approaching life with gusto regardless of the consequences. You may be particularly keen to travel, enjoying the stimulation of visiting other venues. You could direct your energy to achievement in sports, politics or travel. Your only problem will be suffering from "burn-out" because you don't know when to stop and rest.

Mars Soft Neptune

If anyone needed to experience quiet and reflective moments in life, then it's you. The combination of the planets Mars and Neptune is urging you to "slow down and smell the roses" on a regular basis. This could be spending time in nature, listening to inspirational music, swimming in the ocean or sitting in a quiet house of prayer; any activity which provides emotional and physical rest and soothes the soul. If you don't schedule in quiet time then you're likely to suffer from lethargy and despondency, and possibly even physical illness. Escaping to a world of fantasy and contemplation is much more rewarding than other means, such as alcohol or drugs. And your chart is saying that you do need moments of escape. It's also possible that you have either a strong artistic or spiritual side to your nature, which motivates many of your actions. Your hobbies or career may reflect your spiritual or artistic interests. Your spirituality could be either orthodox or liberal. The artistic side of your nature may benefit from activities such as art, theatre, dance, music, design, film and craft work. You may also be inspired by sports such as swimming, tai chi, karate or kung fu.

Jupiter semisextile Neptune

With Jupiter Semisextile Neptune, difficult moments of growth take on more creative meaning because of Zadkiel and Tamiel. When the Angel of Mercy and the Angel of Primordial Energy meet, you understand the depth of happiness that you can experience. You have had glimpses of this happiness in the past, and perhaps even extended periods when you felt blissful. Now you have a tool to make the interaction between these Angels a part of your daily life.

Through your meditation, you can cultivate a sincere love of humanity. Your Angels guide your thoughts toward compassion and integrate your feelings with the knowledge that you need to express compassion effectively in everyday life.

Naturally idealistic, now you can focus on your idealism and make some of those goals become reality for you and for others. As you listen to your Angels, you find that ideas come to you easily and naturally. Even when you don't know the mechanics for a particular action, you sense the right activity and then either learn how to do it, or find people who know.

You are impressionable. This can be seen as a weakness until you learn to manage the impressions you receive. Initially, when you have no filtering system, you receive impressions from everyone and everything. Part of developing the mind in childhood relates to developing structures and organization for feelings and sensations. Even as an adult, you continue to define and refine your mental structures. Eventually your realize that impressions from other people translate almost instantly into meaning for you.

Another possible weakness is a general lack of muscle tone. It's important for you to find an exercise program that works for you. It can be as simple as a walk every day, or as complex as a serious weight or strength training program. The idea is to aim for some exercise each day, and some activity that builds and maintains muscle strength.

Expand your interest in mysticism through study of one or more subject. Pursue connections between your religious beliefs and your mystical thoughts. Your Angels will fill in the blanks in what you read or study. Meditation allows your mind to sort through what you have taken in. Meditation also allows your Angels to speak directly to you and provide additional insights.

Wisdom comes to you through the association of Zadkiel and Tamiel. Your dreams provide a ready source of inspiration because they put the energies of your Angels into pictorial, auditory, and sensory form.

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.

Jupiter Hard Moon

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

Jupiter Soft Neptune

What an idealist you are! It's doubtful that life would ever live up to your high expectations or that you could achieve all that you dream of. This is because the planets Jupiter and Neptune are connected in your chart. Don't despair. You may be idealistic, but you're also talented and possibly inspirational in some aspect of your life. As a result you're likely to achieve many of your hopes, but not all of them, and perhaps prove to be an inspiration to other people. Possibly you've a talent for music or the arts, or perhaps you're a gifted teacher or philosopher. You're certainly compassionate. Whatever your creative talent, your active imagination needs a positive outlet, one that can inspire you and perhaps other people. You're capable of reaching for the stars, as long you acquire the self-discipline needed to develop your abilities. Your spiritual beliefs may also play a prominent role in helping you achieve your ambitions.

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.

Saturn Soft Uranus

You're recognised in your career for your ability to plan and organise, making the most of available resources while adopting new and innovative approaches to tasks. This is because of the combination of the planets of Saturn and Uranus, which indicate a mix of initiative and good old-fashioned common sense - a formidable blend. You're independent, resourceful and self-motivated, all of which enable you to achieve success in whatever you turn your mind to. You may discover that you've natural abilities in the fields of science, mathematics, research, business organisation, industry and metaphysics. It's likely that you'll succeed in any career that utilises your gift for blending the old with the new.

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.

Neptune quincunx Ascendant

With Neptune forming a quincunx to your Ascendant, you experience repeated instances where you must adapt to circumstances. Your Angels are always present to support you in deciding what adjustments are necessary for yourself or for the people around you. You often feel that spiritual guidance is immediately present, and that you don't even have to seek it at all!

You are susceptible to influence from the environment and other people, and you benefit from meditation and affirmations that your Angels are always with you. As you practice contacting your Angels, you find that you can identify and choose the most promising opportunities quickly and easily, and thus benefit from them more fully.

You have a natural capacity to channel or to use other psychic skills. If you open yourself to any and all energies, you may feel drained or even assaulted by negativity. Instead, you can enlist the help of your Angels to develop suitable 'shields,' so that positive influences come into your sphere easily, while destructive energies are rebuffed before they can affect your emotions or physical body.

Your imagination can be used for storytelling, music, or creative arts of all kinds. Your talent flows from a deep well of spiritual energy, and your Angels aid you be keeping the flow steady and constant. Even when you cannot come up with a good idea, your Angels are at work building the next idea for you.

Your devotion to other people is noteworthy. As you develop your own protection, you find that you can extend yourself to others by choice, and you discover your energy is virtually limitless.

Neptune sextile Midheaven

With Neptune forming a sextile to your Midheaven, your natural psychic ability provides many opportunities to use creative imagination. It also sets up the opportunity for self-doubt that in turn tests your core beliefs and allows for 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.

Pluto sextile Neptune

With Pluto Sextile Neptune, your life is enriched with opportunities presented by the Angels 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.

One possible expression of this aspect of your birth chart is that you have at least one extrasensory ability. At first you may experience some confusion in interpreting psychic and intuitive information as it comes to you. You are likely to overcome this confusion once you develop the necessary comprehension of your abilities and thus develop your psychic skills. Meditation each day allows your Angels to contact you more directly to help in this area.

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 Mercury

The North Node and the planet Mercury are combining to indicate that you're being urged to develop your communication skills. Your destiny in this life may be linked to some form of teaching or communication, with individuals or groups.

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.

SouthNode Soft Mercury

The South Node and the planet Mercury are combining in a way that suggests your communication skills are highly-developed, but you need to avoid your tendency for talk rather than action. You're being challenged to stop scattering your energy in all directions and put your communication skills to good use so that you can achieve your purpose.

Chiron opposition Uranus

Between 1952 and 1989 Chiron exactly opposed Uranus forty-one times, and was in orb of opposition for just about everyone born during those 47 years. Thus, it is more of a generational influence than an individual one.

Historically, you can see that this aspect is tied into the accelerated pace of scientific advancement during the second half of the Twentieth Century. Actually, one of the problems is that science is making discoveries faster than they can be integrated into society; even faster than proper safeguards can be devised for our protection from side effects and from the discoveries themselves.

This same ‘vibration’ is, in many ways, a part of the nature of individuals who have this aspect. There is a thirst for the new, for discovery, for experiences, that often outweighs the taking of any precautions. Others dare not try to curtail your freedom, the consequences may not be pleasant. The urge for independence can be so strong that it can create difficulties in relationships. The only relationships that truly last for someone with this aspect is one where each person is given a lot of space to be themselves, in truth, it is difficult to find someone sufficiently secure to give a partner that much freedom. It does give a real spirit, though.

The wound of the whole generation, though, can be summed up in the words, ‘fallen heroes’. For thousands of years, people had heroes to worship, people to look up to as almost godlike. But this generation has seen all of its heroes fall, or show very unheroic sides, or in one way or another, prove they are just like everyone else. As a result, your generation has had a wound that each person must learn to heal in his/her own way, but the lesson is to become one’s own hero to become the person you would like to look up to and respect.

Chiron opposition Sun

There is usually a deep wound here when it comes to fairness and/or equality, to the point that you felt the need to prove you are ‘as good as’ others. It may be that you always had to defend yourself in one way or another, or it may be that you were made to feel that you had to ‘win’ at all costs.

One major lesson you can learn from this aspect is when to compete, when not to! learn how to choose your battles.

This aspect can make you a real fighter, which can be for good or bad. If you see something that you feel needs change, or an obstacle that needs to be overcome, you won’t rest until you’ve ‘won’. This may be a physical fight, but this doesn’t necessarily make you a physical fighter (other aspects in the chart would show that). What this aspect does do is make you appear always ready to take up a banner, always ready to take up a cause.

As you grow, and heal from the wound, any particular cause you are drawn to will be for the betterment of life, or to help others in some way. But if you resist healing, there can develop the feeling you need to fight even for small things, or there can develop a paranoia giving you an ‘us versus them’ attitude. Even as you evolve and grow, the urge to ‘do battle’ is never dissipated, but as I said, you learn to choose your battles. With this aspect, though, you never feel more alive than when you respond to a challenge in some way, or offer a challenge to someone else.

One thing that cannot, unfortunately, be avoided with this aspect is the making of enemies. It goes with the territory. But as you grow, and heal, you will find that even your enemies will respect you.

It is impossible to have this aspect without developing strong principles, and of course, to feel the need to stand up and fight for them as well. You will not sacrifice your principles to appease others.

But other people are important to you, not just for competition. You understand yourself so much better when you have feedback from others, and are always looking for another perspective, another viewpoint.

Chiron quincunx Mercury

Quincunx is the aspect of adjustment, and when connected to Chiron, it shows there was a deep wound related to others’ expectations of you. Mercury is the logical mind, and with this aspect, it seems other people expected you to look for another way to see something, an alternative way to analyse the situation and when you did not do so to their satisfaction, you were criticized, or judged as wanting; or perhaps what was expected of you was to come up with more answers, or to find entirely different types of answers to questions. In any event, there is a wound here when it comes to how you think, how you communicate, with a feeling you are not going to be ‘right’ unless you change your thinking, or cover more territory, or see on more levels.

Positively, this aspect does give you the ability to perceive many different levels going on in a situation at the same time. People who have this aspect perceive both the obvious and the more subtle processes as well. When solving problems your mind weaves in and out among the different levels, discovering and connecting ideas and events that one-track thinkers never discover!

Negatively, you can see too many levels, too many features, and sometimes so much that it cannot be sorted out. Too much information can be as bad as not enough. This aspect is very good to have if you are working to help others become more realistic, once its lessons have been learned. The search on many levels for information is natural, creative, BUT, you must learn to discriminate, sort out what you find, and not just accept everything.

Chiron Square NorthNode

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

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