Birth Chart Report for Michelangelo

By Stephanie Johnson · Bronze Edition

Your Sun Sign

Sun in Pisces

Piscean virtues are numerous as the sign is attuned to the spiritual. Therefore you are familiar with heavenly qualities like compassion, sympathy and thankfulness. To turn the other cheek, and to feel blessed to give rather than to receive, are the great selfless acts associated with Pisces. While you might become enraged at being 'ripped off', you do accept it as the way it was meant to be. Certainly, as Mahatma Gandhi suggested, forgiveness is an attribute of the strong, not the weak. Forgiveness is one of many soul states you are experienced in, so no wonder you are drawn to the realm of mystics, healers and prophets.

In a personal way your imagination is what allows you to access the soul and give meaning to your life. When you have no room for the imaginative process then everything that is mysterious or unknown becomes projected onto matter and begins to happen outside you, rendering your inner world barren and lifeless. Imagination allows your soul to breathe and brings you back in touch with your own mysteries and unconscious processes, restoring meaning to your life. You are fluent in the language of the imagination, which speaks through images, dreams, symbols, signs, omens, oracles, hunches and feeling responses and are also the medium through which the spiritual realms are made accessible.

The unconscious realm is the phantasmagoria where the colours, shades and sensory experiences are alive with meaning. You know this realm of creativity and spirituality well. You easily navigate journeys to the other world to be reinvigorated by contact with the spirit world. You are an artist who seeks this expression on a canvas, in a song, through movement or in a sonnet. Your imagination allows the soul to manifest through their creativity. An impressionistic atmosphere pervades your life and you are able to escape from the banality of an ego-driven life to feel encompassed by something much greater. Your imagination is the gear that takes you to someplace higher.

Without imagination you are a fish out of water and life becomes soulless, dull and meaningless. You have the ability to re-inspire your life through acts of compassion or creativity. Whether you are expressing the music of your soul through helping others, volunteering at the local hospital, dancing in the dark or journaling your dreams there is a great necessity for you to be actively engaged with the imagination. Your great gift is the ability to lift the veil of illusion through activating your imagination and allowing the compassionate act of serving others to legitimately flow out of you. Through imagination you are able to enter the soulful place to serve creative possibilities in yourself and others. To find your vitality and spirit and to feel soulful in the world, you need to strive to be compassionate, forgiving, sympathetic, thankful and understanding.

Your Moon Sign

Moon in Scorpio

You are born with the Moon in Scorpio suggesting that you are nurtured through close and trusting bonds with others. Rather than breadth you need depth of contact. You feel deeply, intensely and passionately, often preferring to contain your feelings rather than expressing them. You often feel your own emotions are too intense or destructive to express; at other times you prefer to be private, being no stranger to feelings of grief and loss. Yet, when you do share your feelings, they are often transforming and liberating. You are a witness to your own power of honesty. Because of your urge to get to the depth of the matter, destiny often provides you with the critical situation to know the transforming power of your feeling life.

When you were young you did not have the full capacity to understand your intensity and depth. You may have experienced this in your need to be private, keep a secret diary, your interest in all things hidden and mysterious, sexual curiosity or through intimate friendships. However as you have matured you have recognised this need. Trust, integrity and honesty are paramount for you in order to begin to open to intimacy with another. Your need to be intimate is important in any life path highlighting your need to trust those you work with and for. Ultimately, power is an issue you experience on your life path as your intensity and integrity threatens others. Even though others may be insecure and you risk hurting their feelings, the truth is more important to you. You must continue to dig below the surface even if that is confronting to others. Metaphorically you are an archaeologist and in depth analyst who excavates buried treasure. This may also manifest in any profession that requires you to dig deep in a literal sense, such as scientific research, editing and proof-reading detailed reports and written works, encoding computer programming languages or perhaps in formulating detailed political policy.

If you are called to the nurturing professions then your Moon in Scorpio may be drawn to critical care, oncology, bereavement counselling, emergency work or in depth therapeutic work. To care for the soul suggests that you are able to honour the dark, recover the repressed and honour the feeling life without judgement or strictures.

Your Rising Sign

Ascendant in Cancer

Money is not to be confused with love. Caring for others is your major purpose in life. This could be caring for your own family and friends, extended family, pets, children or the elderly, or caring for humanity, or all of these. You're impressionable, tenacious, hospitable, sympathetic and moody. You've strong feelings, ranging from the most pure feelings of compassion to the most intense feelings of antipathy. On the positive side your life is motivated by the highest form of feelings motivating you to care for other people, and bringing both you and the other parties a sense of warmth and emotional satisfaction. However, on a negative note you're highly impressionable and your feelings may be misguided. You're sensitive and easily hurt, and can build a protective wall if you feel vulnerable. All of these traits indicate that you need to make sure that you do not equate love with money. Emotional security does not equal financial security. Your goal is life is to nurture emotions, relationships and your own spiritual goals, not money-making ventures. Take time to notice how little importance money has in your life when you are truly feeling safe and happy. Then take a moment to think about how no amount of money really eases the troubled times. True worth comes from the intimacy and the experiences that you share with your loved ones. If you would like to focus on a positive affirmation connected to money then with your Cancer Ascendant you could use this one from “Creating Money – Keys to Abundance”by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer “I bring love and a positive attitude to everything I do”.

Your natural tendency might find it easier to be in the world, be public and involved with your career path; however this astrological statement highlights the importance of the inner and private world. Hence a career theme might be the ongoing encounter between the stress of the outer world and finding enough time and space to engage with the demands of the inner world.

Chiron in 8th House

Relationships are delicately balanced at the best of times. A loving relationship offers the opportunity for healing of emotional wounds from the past and personal growth and fulfilment. When two people relate in a tender way then it is possible to provide the greatest opportunities for healing rather than more hurtful experiences. Working through emotionally difficult times is when Chiron is working at its best. At times in relationship, one person may inadvertently trigger the other’s hurt feelings. These feelings may be left over from your childhood, or from a previous relationship. Either way your current relationship is an opportunity to relate differently. A loving union provides the chance to let go of the past and experience intimacy and true love now. This placement of Chiron in your Combined Chart means that this relationship is likely to be deep and meaningful. Shared resources, sexual intimacy and metaphysical matters are highlighted. Together you can help each other recognise what is truly valued in your lives. Whether your lessons are painful, or happy, you learn much about money, sex, and sharing. It is possible that this union will result in a business or work that has an esoteric bent. It is also important when Chiron is placed here that you both carefully negotiate, as much as you can, your values when it comes to sharing. For instance do you agree on the type of investments that you want? Do you both want to invest in property or would one of you prefer to rent and put have a large savings account? Another sensitive area is sexuality. The energy of Chiron can be very healing, but it can also be hurtful. You need to ascertain early in your relationship whether or not you are sexually compatible. If you have conflicting values in this intimate area then you need to be very sensitive to each other’s needs. The more that you address any relationship problems early in the relationship the more that you avoid conflict later on. It is important that you both speak your truth, not what you think is expected. Emotional truth will surface sooner or later when Chiron is placed here.

Nodes

NorthNode in Libra

You were born with the North Node in the sign of Libra and the South Node in the opposite sign, Aries suggesting you are heroic by nature, but you are now invited to be more aware of others, to be diplomatic and mindful of other's feelings. Your inner warrior needs to be gentle and your urge to crusade for noble and just causes needs to integrate a diplomatic point of view. The dragon you battle is the passionate and independent impulses that pull you back to your individualistic standpoint. Your goal of peace is not accomplished through fighting and confronting others, but by forging relationship and partnership with those who once were the enemy. You have inherited a fiery and independent will, knowing what you want and how to go and get it. However to feel that your life has meaning and purpose you need to use your action-orientated spirit in a cooperative fashion for the good of others. You are a crusader but now for others; you are a fire fighter but now you fan the flames of life in others. Learning to stand outside yourself helps you forge relationship and a cooperative spirit of equality.

The spirit you have inherited needs to feel free to take action without relating to authority or being bound by rules and regulations. Its need for independence, including the need to make its own decisions, is high therefore you thrive in a vocation that encourages an independent and enterprising personality. When you trust your own integrity and motives your entrepreneurial spirit is a boon for everyone. Vocationally this independent spirit is a vessel for others and when you join in partnership, you help your partner and colleagues to become successful and fulfilled. The classic storyline may be that your partner is recognised for his or her success, but make no mistake that you have played a leading role. Your need to feel able to act independently in the world is paramount, yet your destiny is that you must learn to temper this in relationship. Therefore you are successful at being out front when you have another's interests at heart.

Self-image is important and personal identity needs to be a focus in any career path. Vocations utilising and encouraging the personality and identity are appropriate. You are self-motivated but also driven by competition and challenges from others, working best in partnership. And when you utilise your innate pioneering spirit you will find yourself initiating projects which help others. You have the knack for working in a managerial portfolio and your vision and motivation inspire others. Life may lead you in a direction where your tendency towards relating leads towards counselling professions. You develop the capacity to listen to others, a skill you use successfully in counselling and training. You can develop that ability of reflection, which draws individuals out of themselves and helps them get what they want.

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.

;*Explanation

Sun Opposition Pluto

Transformation is the key to this period. You are like the butterfly that is emerging from the cocoon. However, the process is not necessarily an easy one. You need to work your way out of the cocoon, say goodbye and fly away. The drawback is that the birth process is not easy. However, the reward is that you will feel reborn and able to live your life much closer to your true nature.

Sun Soft Saturn

It's likely that you will have the chance to take on responsibilities and prove yourself successful at some stage in your life, although you're more likely to rise to the challenge as you grow older.

Your father may have earned your fear or respect leaving his mark on your character. Your father's guidance may also have helped or hindered your progress in life. Either way he's been a significant influence in your life. It's also possible that you took on extra responsibilities at a young age, because of your father's inability to live up to his responsibilities. This could have been as a result of your father's own weaknesses or an illness, or separation or even death. While you believe that certain experiences are "character building", you may have some difficulty coming to terms with the lasting effects of your relationship with your father. Perhaps in latter years you will gain understanding from your experiences.

Sun Trine Neptune

It is time to slow down and contemplate. Spiritual, artistic and philanthropic activities are highly beneficial right now. Nature walks and trips to the seaside are also very soothing. If you have been working hard or undergoing rapid changes in your life then you would be well advised to make the most of this period. Relax and reflect. This is a time of assimilation rather than action. Feelings in connection to the past may emerge during this period.

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.

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.

For these reasons you're likely to encounter problems in your early childhood education, particularly if you attend a school that has a traditional approach to education. You're more likely to shine in an education system which encourages independent and free thinking. At any age you're likely to react to authority figures, showing a defiant and audacious attitude.

You don't mean to be thoughtless, it's simply that you're so often restless in your search for stimulation. One of your major struggles in life is with discontentment. In fact you may be ahead of your time in your thoughts, ideas and opinions. With a little patience and tolerance, you'll be successful in helping others understand your unique and innovative ideas.

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.

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 may be reacting to perceived sleights, which were not intended. It's also possible that you've become set in your ideas and find it difficult to change your mind. Your rigidity may be preventing you from understanding the true meaning of other's words and actions. Although you've difficulty in communicating your thoughts to others and overcoming the obstacles in your education, you do have strong will power.

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.

These values may be represented in your choice of career. You may also feel compelled to work with others helping them find their place of truth and integrity in the world. Therefore your profession may be linked to dysfunctional or displaced families, or anything that attempts to bring darker elements to life. Psychology, forensic science, mining, property management and investment, environment science, migrant work, aged care and farming may appeal.

Perhaps you've a tendency to overpower other people, and now you need to do find the right blend of asserting your own rights and listening to other people, in order that you achieve your purpose. You would do well to remember the adage, "There's no time like the present", as you may have a tendency to avoid facing problems and obstacles that stand in the path of your success.

Chiron sextile Venus

You have a great deal of love for others, and caring but it seems the Venus passivity is accentuated in this aspect. That is, this sextile seems to express itself more quietly and subtly than most other Chiron aspects.

Positively, you tend to try and help others on a day-to-day basis, sometimes openly but seldom advertised. But negatively, at times you could be more assertive in giving your assistance.

Part of the wound here is that you were made to feel, to some extent, that your assistance was not of value, or that others could be of more help than yourself. So one of your lessons in life is to get to know yourself well enough to truly see your value, both to yourself and to other people. Because the sextile is an aspect that requires some work in order to reap the benefits, you need to interact with people frequently, on many different levels, in order to learn just how much you are worth. As you heal, you learn not only of your own value, but gain insight to help others see their own value. Many with this aspect go on to help the under-privileged, the ill, the handicapped, to find ways to be of use to society.

Chiron here does bring out your romantic side or your poetic nature. There is a definite one-of-a-kind quality in any talent you have, and should other aspects propel you into the arts, your creative works will live long after you have passed on.

Chiron square Neptune

The wound from this aspect stems from not being able to pay attention to your dreams. The environment you grew up in forced you to repress, or discount your dreams, or place them on the back burner. Perhaps you were even laughed at for your wild imagination.

To heal this wound, you need to allow yourself to believe in your dreams again, to get in touch with your imagination. The wound may have gone so deep that it gave you a fear of the unknown, fear of what you cannot see, hear, taste, smell or touch. You must find a way to give yourself permission to open up to what lies beyond the senses, what lies outside the realm of apparent reality. Otherwise, you may find yourself with a tendency to go overboard into the real world then to submerge yourself into material things, in order not to have to deal with the unknown.

Healing from this wound, the most common expression is the tendency to have some dream that is totally you, some image of the ideal self that is the way you want to be and then to believe totally that you can be this. The magic of believing in yourself.

This aspect does not denote success or failure at achieving this dream, only the very strong belief that this is what you could be. There is also, if the aspect is strongly emphasized, a desire to overcome any obstacle that interferes with your understanding of life or of the universe. Even if you have not begun to heal from the wound, there is a curiosity deep within that never completely is broken. You crave understanding, hunger to know what the meaning of life is; the more you heal, the more you allow yourself to explore, to search for truth, and to imagine possible worlds, possible alternate futures.
