Birth Chart Report for Molefi Kete Asante
Your Sun Sign
Sun in Leo
Having your Sun in Leo, a fixed fire sign, suggests the traits of being constant, enduring and warm-hearted. Fixed fire conjures up the image of a fireplace, a location where the power of fire can be contained, whether raging in a hearth or softly twinkling on a candle. Like this metaphor you have the ability to emanate warmth, personality and charisma when your passionate feelings are tempered and focused. These fires are your creativity and your creative act is to explore and discover the self. Being affectionate, tender and hospitable, you are endowed with the spirit of generosity.
Being loyal and protective are your strong virtues. You demonstrate this through your allegiance to those you befriend and a fidelity to those you love. Astrologically Leo is associated with the heart, a central focus in the body. Therefore your focus is the heart and you have the ability to radiate warmth for yourself and others in your atmosphere. Anias Nin suggested that when she cast her own warmth around her it was reflected in others, a great truism for Leo.
As the archetypal father, king of the pride or queen of the parade you'll often find the archetypal Lion at the centre, on the seat of power. While you might fantasise it is a throne, it is more likely that yours will be the teacher's seat at the head of the class, the director's stool in front of the action or the psychiatrist's chair opposite your client. Your vocation inspires others to become their true self, encouraging them to be creative and playful. You can embody both the serious and the playful professional. Ironically while you can be dignified and powerful, you also have a healthy inner child who balances the serious sides of life with amusement and frivolity. It is your lion heart, who best know how to play, find amusement in the humourless, and irreverence in formality. Therefore while you might aspire to greatness you don't want to be precious. Wisdom without humour, truth without wit or status without integrity is antithetical to your nature.
While you are responsive to others, in your own heart you know that you cannot remain true to others without first being true to yourself. You instinctually know that being true and constant begins with it the difficult task of creating an honest relationship with yourself. This often means you need to be candid about your vulnerabilities, sincere about your fears and straightforward about your motives. Hence your honour in being genuine allows you to shine. Your heroic journey begins with acts of self-disclosure, a vulnerable act that softens your heart to express love easily and authentically. Again Anias Nin described this truth when she remarked that when you possess light within you will be able to see it externally. The possession of the heart light is your gift but its great virtue is keeping it alight through acts of loyalty and fidelity. To find your vitality and spirit and to feel soulful in the world you need to strive to find creativity, generosity, joy, loyalty, affection, and optimism in your occupation.
Your Moon Sign
Moon in Virgo
You have the Moon in Virgo reflecting your innate understanding of the cycles and rhythms of life. Your feelings and moods are embodied inspiring your life search to understand the nature of health and well being. To care for your soul you need to provide enough ritual to feel you are able to deal with the natural chaos and disorder of life. Without order or coherence you are prone to worry, anxious about what might happen. You are so acutely aware of what may possibly go wrong that your body often bears the stress, making it imperative to create the rituals of an everyday life through work and health. This characteristic calls you to your vocation to analytically understand the complexities of life.
From a young age you might have recognised your urge to attend to others, to cultivate, prepare and improve situations. Instinctually you are drawn to be of service through figuring out the problem. Whether your vocational path has led you into the service or technology industries, repair, labour or improvement occupations, you have a great need to be productive and helpful. Work and labour provide you with the means to feel productive and meaningful.
If you are called to the nurturing professions then your Moon in Virgo is comfortable with clinical work such as psychiatric nursing, clinical psychology, medical research and analysis. Instinctually you are health conscious and to care for your soul you need your daily regimen to be balanced and regular. Therefore you are naturally drawn to learning about healthy habits and routines. Being in touch with health may be so nurturing you may be called to a vocation where you can participate in assisting others feel healthier through diet, preventative medicine, holistic healing, exercising or analytic methods. Naturally you find these skills inside you.
Your Rising Sign
Ascendant in Virgo
Caution is a keyword for your Virgo Ascendant. Perhaps you are a cautious person from birth. Alternatively another side of your nature may dictate that you learn discrimination as you mature. Either way this Ascendant is asking that you make it your duty to put your analytical powers to good use. You are unlikely to be happy if you take no action at all. Imagine staying in the same job for an entire working life simply because you lacked the courage to step into the unknown, or the self-worth to apply elsewhere? This is unthinkable for many other members of the Zodiacal circle but not for anyone with strong Virgo. Your strength is that once you put your mind to something then you can achieve it. You've a quiet, reserved, retiring and receptive side to your nature but you can also be quietly determined. Although you're not strongly ambitious you do persevere to accomplish your goals in life. You're economical, thrifty, hygienic, and tidy in body and mind. Order and precision are your preferred modes of self-expression, and you like other people to follow your lead. You lead by example and when others follow you are satisfied. Your fate could largely depend on your circumstances, but is likely to be linked to your organisational ability. Your intellectual ability could also feature strongly in your life, perhaps through research. When it comes to money you are also cautious. This can be a positive indicator if other parts of your Birth Chart (and therefore your personality) are reckless. However, you do need to take some risks in life, even small ones. Your fulfilment is likely to come from being of service to others. You need to discover which area of service is likely to give you the most joy, not for security or monetary reasons, but for sheer pleasure. This is allowed even for the most dutiful of Virgos. If you would like to focus on a positive affirmation connected to money then with your Virgo Ascendant you could use this one from “Creating Money – Keys to Abundance”by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer “I know what I love to do and I do it”.
Planets in Signs
Mercury in Virgo
The planet Mercury in the zodiac sign of Virgo indicates that you've a discriminating mind, with an ability to appreciate the finer details of life, at times becoming obsessed with detailed knowledge. Your power of concentration is quite awesome. You can also be critical and analytical, and quite the perfectionist. All of these traits may be to your detriment in daily life, if your family and co-workers feel the brunt of your high expectations and your critical tongue. However, you shine in areas which require a sharp mind and keen intellect. You're particularly apt when doing any kind of research, whether it be delving into the finer details of an insurance policy or conducting scientific research. In fact you make an excellent scholar, perhaps leaning towards the study of hygiene or medicine. You're more than capable of completing undergraduate or post-graduated work at a college or university. Astrologically speaking the planet Mercury is considered to be dignified in the zodiac sign of Virgo. Therefore you excel in communications with others, which require clarity and precision, and excel in any field requiring concentrated effort and intellect.
Venus in Cancer
With Venus in the sign of Cancer your relationship with your family plays a key role in your life, as you like to feel that you belong to a tribe. Whether the relationships run a smooth or rocky course, you're bonded with your family. Your mother in particular may be a key figure. You also like to form close friendships. Social occasions may revolved around family events, and over the years your friends become part of the family, mingling easily with family members at social occasions. You seek a partner who can also become part of your family and help you keep the home fires burning. You enjoy sharing the comforts of your home with your loved one, including forming a family of your own, as you enjoy children. Domesticity is an important avenue of sharing with your partner. You enjoy cooking for your loved ones, and providing for their needs. You may also enjoy tracing the family tree. When it comes to money matters, you like the security that a regular income brings. You also like to invest your money, gaining emotional comfort from the fact that it's a nest egg for the future.
Mars in Virgo
The planet Mars in the sign of Virgo indicates that you're a shrewd person and will pursue your personal desires in a practical and methodical manner. You have a strong drive for perfection, and can often be found organising and re-arranging your environment in order that you live life more efficiently. You're keen to employ schedules and routines to help you run your daily life. It's also true that you find it difficult to cope if your routines are disrupted, and you have little patience for less-organised people. In fact you can be quite critical and judgmental, believing your methods to be the most practical and efficient, superior to other people's efforts. You don't suffer fools gladly and need to be careful to curb the perfectionist side of your nature. In some cases your interest is likely to be sparked by scientific pursuits, in particular medicine, but generally any science or research could be pursued. You prefer to be able to pursue your own interests without interference from other people and can systematically remove anyone who stands in your way. While this may sound harsh, it's true that you possess a vengeful side of your nature if opposed.
Jupiter in Cancer
You've the planet Jupiter in the zodiac sign of Cancer in your birth chart indicating that you are an idealistic person, who has a strong humanitarian side to your nature. You want to take everyone under your wing, whether they be family members in trouble or victims of world disasters. You may feel the urge to travel overseas to take care of other people, possibly even becoming involved in a humanitarian or religious welfare group. It is also possible that you have a large family. If not your friends will become your family, and you've many friends. This depends on other influences in your birth chart. You're kind-hearted and popular and so attract friends from both the lower and higher echelons of society. Although you mean well, you do need to be wary of becoming too meddlesome in other people's affairs. You're likely to benefit from your connections with your loved ones, possibly through unexpected inheritances and legacies. Astrologically the planet Jupiter is considered to be in a favourable position in the sign of Cancer and therefore it is likely that you will achieve your goals.
Saturn in Gemini
The planet Saturn in the sign of Gemini signifies that you're a disciplined and logical thinker with the ability to organise details. You're observant, adaptable and resourceful - all qualities which enable you to be promoted to managerial positions. You can also achieve great success in intellectual pursuits where the combination of logic and ingenuity are formidable. In fact you could excel in any position which requires organisational abilities. In some cases you may feel torn between two pursuits, not sure which path to take in life. It's also possible that you could benefit from having two projects on the go at once. You prefer straight talk and can sometimes be accused of lacking tact. This doesn't overly concern you because of your belief that honesty is the best policy in the long term. You need to be careful because you could be deceived by others who are not as honest as you. Although you could suffer some difficulties through family members or financial investments, you're likely to achieve your ambitions, particularly in the intellectual fields.
Uranus in Gemini
The planet Uranus was in the sign of Gemini from 1942 - 1949. It's important to note that Uranus spends a long time in each sign, and therefore the interpretation applies to a generation rather than the individual. For a more individual interpretation you need to look at the house position of Uranus in your chart. Uranus in the sign of Gemini indicates that you belong to a generation which becomes focussed on new forms of communication and the world's networks. This generation is responsible for original and inventive ideas which change the world's communication network. Your creativity soars when you're tackling these issues.
Neptune in Virgo
The planet Neptune was in the sign of Virgo from 1928 - 1943. It's important to note that Neptune takes about 164 years to make a complete cycle, spending about thirteen years in each sign, and therefore the interpretation applies to a generation rather than the individual. For a more individual interpretation you need to look at the house position of Neptune in your chart. Neptune in the sign of Virgo indicates that you belong to a generation faced with the task of analysing the excesses of extravagance, and organising a systemic approach to blending the spiritual and practical. You're concerned with ensuring that spiritual matters become part of a daily routine. For instance, yours is a generation that may view regular attendance at church a necessity for good healthy living.
Pluto in Leo
The planet Pluto was in the sign of Leo from 1939 - 1957. 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 Leo suggests that you belong to a generation of people concerned with the lack of or acquiring of power. People of this generation have the ability to use power both positively and negatively. World power and leadership are also important issues for these people.
Chiron in Leo
Some of the core questions you need to ask yourself relate primarily to your creative essence. What do I want to create? What is the nature of creativity? What am I creating this for? Issues associated with children may also challenge you. You may need to get in touch with your inner child, to help answer some of these questions. Underlying these questions is perhaps a deeper question that you first need to ask yourself. Before you can express your creativity, you first need to learn more about yourself. Who are you? You may have a deep-seated identity issue that you need to address.
Issues around children and the need for creative expression may challenge you. Children may in some way be a catalyst for finding out more about who you are, if not directly, then indirectly. You may have a strong desire to have children, or no desire for a family at all. Stress can also affect your fertility. Other potential concerns can develop in areas such as heart, spine, circulation, sports injuries and fatigue. But finding your true identity will be the most healing experience of all. Expressing yourself creatively can help you to find yourself. Let yourself participate fully without fear.
Make time for play, for sport, for creativity and for fun. Over time you will learn more about who you are and where your true potential lies. You will discover the healing power of love that lies within and discover your creative essence. As a result you may discover an inner artist who is seeking expression.
Planets in Houses
Sun in 12th House
The progressed Sun moves slowly through the houses. The twelfth house of your chart is currently emphasized indicating that you are working behind the scenes on something significant. This could mean that you are going through a more introspective phase, contemplating the universe. On the other hand it could indicate that you are spending many hours concentrating on a particular long-term project. Perhaps you have a sense that you are preparing for greater things? If so, look to see when your Sun progresses into your first house. This is when your life is likely to turnaround.
Moon in 1st House
This is your time to shine, to receive the rewards of your previous hard work and accolades for your achievements. Perhaps you have been secretly working away on a project, concentrating your efforts on behind the scenes activities or quietly pouring your energies into a budding relationship? Now you can step forward and declare your interests. For instance you may have been working quietly and steadily on a written project, which you are hoping will one day be published. Now is the right time for you to seek publishers and recognition for your work. Perhaps you have been persistently working on a business idea, consulting financial planners and setting up a network of contacts and colleagues, searching for the appropriate venue or establishing a home office. Now you can reap the rewards of your networking. Whatever the scenario now is the right time to assert yourself and consciously seek your happiness. It is also the ideal time to reassess your personal image and habits. A new health regime will give you the boost needed to cope with this phase. You may change your personal fashion style, your hair and clothes in a way that more authentically reflects your personality. The sign of your progressed Moon will also show you the manner in which you are likely to assert this new assertive side of your nature. For instance if your progressed Moon is in a fire or air sign then you are likely to be more gregarious and inspirational, making quite dramatic changes. However, if your progressed Moon is in an earth or water sign then you may have a more steady approach.
Mercury in 12th House
Even the most extraverted person is likely to become more introspective as the planet Mercury gradually merges with the 12th House of the Birth Chart. This is a time for contemplation, meditation and concentration. You can seek solace in alone time, as long as you do not dwell on dark thoughts. This is a time to immerse yourself in the joys of the beauty of nature, the minds of great mystics or the workings of something that deeply fascinates you. If you have a heart-felt project that you have been longing to focus on then you can now organise your schedule so that you can concentrate for long periods of time. Some may call this a period of confinement. This may well be the case. Think of a woman who is confined during pregnancy. She is birthing something new. You can also be reminded of the season of Winter when all appears to be bleak and cold, but in reality seeds are germinating beneath the ground and animals are hibernating ready for Spring. This can be a primeval time during which your mind is enriched and you discover a tribal sense of belonging.
Venus in 11th House
The focus gradually shifts to your friends and social interests during this phase. If you are single then you are likely to enjoy this time whether partying with friends, or taking part in quieter or more serious pasttimes. If you are married then communication is the key to you being able to pursue your own hopes, dreams and wishes without jeopardising the intimacy of your primary relationship. Perhaps you could both share some new interests, or agree to pursue activities of your own. A strong relationship is likely to thrive on the renewed stimulation that comes from external sources. If you have been living a more independent lifestyle then you may find your focus shifting to groups, clubs and causes that require you to work more closely with others. The idea is that external stimuli from friends, clubs and community can provide much pleasure during this phase.
Mars in 1st House
As the planet Mars progresses through the 1st House of your chart you are inclined to become more assertive than you have been previously. If you are already a headstrong individual then this could see you even more focussed on your own goals and objectives. If you have been lacking self-conviction then now you should gradually grow in confidence. Slowly and surely you can gain a sense of purpose, hopefully working in co-operation rather than competition with others. During this period you can face and overcome obstacles.
Jupiter in 11th House
Jupiter is also in the 11th House of your chart. There's a popular song that has a line "I'll get by with a little help from my friends", and this could be your theme song. You've many true and fortunate friends, some who hold prominent positions in society. Your friends do their best to support you emotionally, and perhaps even financially, so that you can achieve your life goals. This is fortunate because you've high hopes of achieving success in your life. You're popular amongst your friends, a real social success, and the resulting benefits are considerable. You also like to belong to groups of like-minded people, and these associations can also prove beneficial. Whether you realise it or not, your optimism and cheerfulness are an inspiration to your friends, and they too can benefit from their association with you.
Saturn in 10th house
Saturn is in your 10th house. The archetype of Saturn tends towards perfection and represents the need to excel. Often this is a defensive position which stems from innate feelings of not being ‘good enough’. Therefore with Saturn in your 10th house, you are motivated to try even harder. Professions which encourage a need for excellence and precision can direct some of this energy; however you need to be aware of your perfectionist tendency and how it inhibits your freedom to be creative and accepting. You are ambitious to do your best. In the early stages of life the drive for success may be denied. When the need for perfection becomes compulsive you might get caught in your workaholic temperament, which is often triggered through feeling inadequate or not measuring up. Another manifestation may also be that you rebel against success, as this is your grand mutiny against the oppressive forces of tradition and expectation that you experienced. Or you might be caught in the paradox of wanting to be successful but fearing it as well. You will recognise the tension that exists between the fear of failure and the fear of success.
With Saturn in the 10th house you were aware from a young age of the expectations that were placed upon you and the role that was being forged for you in the world. This feels stifling and oppressive at times. However, to rebel against this tradition and responsibility would be an act against your self, because when your defensiveness is stripped away, you have innate ambition and an authentic urge to succeed. Moreover you also have the self-sufficiency and incentive to do well. Therefore the labour of Saturn in the 10th house is to shape your own autonomy and become your own authority. While your profession path will include working for others, you probably feel more satisfied being self-employed. Respecting your boss is difficult when you fid that you may be more dedicated and competent than them.
Occupations allowing a sense of authority therefore are important for you. Your need for responsibility and autonomy is high. Positions such as executives, surgeons, technicians, scientists, corporate managers, school principals, teachers, law makers, politicians, and councillors could fulfill this need. However self employment and direction would also suit your need for autonomy in the world.
Saturn is also associated with many ‘trades’ especially the building trades but also may be connected to agriculture and real estate. Contractors, bricklayers, builders, gardeners and landscape design, architecture and building design, construction industry, labourers, real estate dealers, land developers, engineers are under the jurisdiction of Saturn. The need for hierarchy is important to Saturn, as is the need to respect their superiors. With your need for autonomy and authority, a common pattern might be conflicting with management when trying to attain a position of influence and control. Your bosses and superiors are your challenges which help you find your own inner authority and confidence.
Uranus in 10th house
In your 10th house you have the planet Uranus, whose discovery near the advent of the industrial age reminds us that this archetype presides over burgeoning industrial revolutions. Being innovative it rules the technological revolution, new and cutting-edge technology, the electronics industry and ground-breaking aspects of the electronics and engineering fields.
Computer programmers and technicians, Internet based occupations, radio and television and the broadcast media are akin to the nature of Uranus. As an altruistic planet, it rules humanitarianism and social reforms including the areas of politics, compassionate concerns and occupations, promotion of causes, professional and humanitarian associations, social services. The innovation of this archetype leads to vocations which encourages inventiveness, science and technology.
Occupations which deal with the human condition and the advancement of the individual such as psychology, especially approaches like group psychology, Adlerian, Gestalt, and psychodrama will appeal to the archetype of Uranus. Astrology, community work and reforms, many of the new age occupations, like reiki healing, crystals, channelling, complementary therapies and medicine all appeal to the non-conforming aspect of Uranus. It is the extraordinary and non-traditional vocations that call you. Therefore it is not too far out to consider being a rock musician, a metaphysician or even a science fiction writer. To be true to yourself you need to find the road less travelled through the world. Expect the unexpected. But if you were to imagine one thing, anticipate that your career will take you farther afield than anyone else in your family and/or tribe has been before. When you were born your vocation probably did not exist, or if it did it was probably not one your parents would have considered for you. To find your fulfilling career you need to recognise the avant-garde, futuristic and unique aspects of yourself and how you might shape these into a role for you in the world.
Neptune in 1st House
The planet Neptune placed in the 1st House of your chart means that you're a compassionate and loving individual, although sometimes this side of your nature can be overwhelming. In other words you're so sensitive to the responses of other people, and to external circumstances that you're easily swayed and have difficulty pursuing your own path in life. As a result you become lethargic and morose, and your own creative interests suffer. It's also possible that you possess such chameleon-like qualities that you've trouble being honest in certain situations. You deceive yourself and others. You need to be wary of allowing this to become too prominent a feature of your life, concentrating instead on developing techniques for developing creative communication with others. On a more positive note your sensitivity means that you have heightened artistic tastes. You're greatly moved by beauty in all forms, but particularly the attractions of colour and sound. The colours and sounds of the ocean have the ability to move you at a deep level, soothing your troubles and providing you with a source of inspiration. Your sensitivity may also extend to the spiritual realms, and you may possess psychic talents, in particular mediumship or clairaudience. It's also possible that a grandmother has had an important influence on your life.
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 1st House
In your horoscope your North Node is in the 1st House and your South Node is in the 7th House. This is the axis of self and other, which suggests there is a delicate balance between being focused exclusively on yourself as opposed to following in someone else's footsteps and losing your personal focus. On one hand you are very comfortable compromising your position to fit in with others, yet it does not work to your best advantage. This tug-of-war between what you want and what others' desire is an embedded feature of your vocation. Your chart suggests that the scales may instinctually tip to the side of others; therefore it is imperative that you know your own mind and become clear about what you want. On your path through life it is necessary to construct your own game plan, forge a streak of independence and accept that others are naturally supportive of you, no matter what you decide to do. Therefore it is best that your vibrant personality reflects your desires and is not shaped by the expectations and requests of others.
You are discovering who you are on a very individual basis. Personal development becomes vital in feeling that you are fulfilling your life purpose. Bringing your inherent understanding of others and your fluency in social situations to your state of affairs, all the time focusing on your goals will help reconstruct relationships in a renewed and more fulfilling way. Building your life around another will keep you fixed in a pattern that is not fulfilling, increasing your anxiety and feelings of despair. In order to be more fulfilled your task is to focus on the self without fear of compromise or recrimination from others, specifically your partners, friends and siblings. Vocationally you need to strike out on your own, knowing that your significant others are backing you completely. With this awareness become a crusader for others and allow yourself to take advantage of all the support offered you. Ironically the more you assert yourself and voice your point of view, the more you gain in terms of partnerships and relationships.
Chiron in 12th House
Relationships are delicately balanced at the best of times. A loving and sound relationship offers the opportunity for healing of emotional wounds from the past and personal growth and fulfilment. When two people relate in a loving way, working through emotionally difficult times then Chiron is working at its best. At times in relationship, one person may inadvertently trigger the other’s hurt feelings. These feelings may be left over from your childhood, or from a previous relationship. Either way your current relationship is an opportunity to relate differently. A loving union provides the chance to let go of the past and experience intimacy and true love now. This placement of Chiron in your Combined Chart indicates a strong subconscious connection. You are drawn to each other without really understanding why. This is your challenge. You need to understand this attraction before making a full commitment. If you are drawn to each other because you share a strong sense of empathy then this can be the basis for a meaningful relationship. However, if one of you feels sympathetic to the other’s dire circumstances in life, and wants to protect, or perhaps even subconsciously take advantage of the other, then this is a relationship to be viewed with caution. Either way this union does provide you both with an opportunity to face and heal deeply held wounds from the past. In some cases two people who have faced and risen above addictions can form a strong and supportive bond. Together you may discover a profound interest in the arts, music, poetry and other such pursuits, or in healing or spirituality. Together you may benefit from meditation and retreat, as long as you also take part in practical and earthy activities. It is important that this relationship does not become one of supporting each other’s addictions, wounds or need to permanently retreat from the world. This union needs to help one or both of you heal the past and move forward in a loving, safe and wholesome manner. As you find you own fulfilment, together you may work with other people, helping them to find peace and contentment.
Nodes
NorthNode in Virgo
You have the North Node in Virgo and the South Node in Pisces, the astrological polarity that finely balances the natural schism between order and chaos. It might feel easier to slip into the twilight zone where you are invisible and not identified. However your task is to create a rhythm and a routine in making the creative and caring aspects of yourself an everyday reality. You are fighting the dragon that wants to be unidentified and selfless, but to be heroic you need to be sure that your service is acknowledged and you are rewarded for the deeds you do. It is natural for you to know what others feel and fulfill their longing. This instinct to serve others and be of assistance to the world-at-large is a noble and virtuous inheritance, but one that may leave you feeling exhausted and overlooked unless you consciously attempt to use this skill in your everyday work life. Your task is to disseminate your innate creative, imaginative and original talents through work
Your North Node is represented by the image of the maiden, a complex image that has undergone considerable transformations from its original meaning. Ironically it implies an image of freedom and independence, a woman in relationship to her internal self, contained and autonomous, in charge of her own desires. Vocationally this motif is important as you need to follow its calling into the world considering your own needs while also honouring your desire to be of service. The urge to serve and to strive for wholeness needs to be recognised in your vocational pursuit. However while you may project this urge onto a literal career your vocation is the calling to serve yourself first. Therefore it is important that any vocation fulfills your desire for self-improvement and self-understanding. It is this quest that may lead you into a wide spectrum of occupations in health care, social services or holistic healing. You could excel in the field of health care whether it be through dentistry, nursing, mental health, nutrition, medicine, social work, clinical psychology or holistic healing careers involving herbs, natural remedies and therapies, nutrition, hygiene, physical realignment, naturopath etc. While these are possible careers it is more metaphoric of your need to be in touch with the natural world which could manifest in many other ways.
You need to develop your discriminatory faculties, not as a defence against chaos, but as a container for your imagination. You need to learn to deconstruct the whole into its various parts in order to help it function better. Whether this deconstruction is done through dissection, editing or criticising your goal is to improve it, therefore your quest to perfect needs to be recognised in any profession or else it may be experienced as obsessive. Routine and ritual are very necessary in order to promote a sense of coherence or any chaos in the workplace will become unsettling.
Aspects
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.
