Birth Chart Report for Virginia Woolf
Your Sun Sign
Sun in Aquarius
In contemporary astrology the zodiacal image of Aquarius has been transformed from its ancient counterpart through the discovery of Uranus, the first planet sighted beyond the seven classical ones of antiquity. As Uranus replaced Saturn as the modern ruler it brought the collective values of parity, liberality, consensus and social equality to the zodiacal territory of Aquarius. When the stage production of Hair opened in the 60's its leading anthem was called Aquarius, a revolutionary ode to world peace. With your Sun in Aquarius, you sense the winds of change and want to be carried away by the new spirit of freedom and equality for all. Aquarius is the archetypal essence that reminds us that world peace and equal opportunity are not only ideals, but also human values that can be achieved through a humanitarian spirit.
Your Aquarian virtue of freedom is not only the urge for unity in your external environment but your inner experience of independence which inspires you to strive for the rights and liberty of others. It is the freedom of your spirit that strengthens you to be liberated from the herd, to make your own choices, create an unconventional lifestyle, assess a situation independently, evaluate freely and be politically incorrect. All these are essential to your lifestyle and vocation. As a result you may enjoy exploring advanced and ground-breaking professional avenues in science, technology, astrology, electronics, aeronautics, or multi-media.
You are drawn to feats of humanitarianism that lessen mass suffering, improve living conditions and help in time of crisis and catastrophe. You celebrate the communal spirit that forges trustworthy communities and establishes socially responsible organisations. You embrace the individuality of each person but exist for the good of the whole. Brotherhood and Sisterhood is your ideal and it is here where you encounter your spiritual siblings; they are your friends, allies and colleagues, kindred spirits who share your inner spirit of freedom, individuality and human values. Your freedom of expression for the shared passions and enthusiasm is your link to your friends and colleagues. Friendship and the experience of being accepted for just being who you are is like returning home to a sense of congeniality and an enjoyment of the shared spirit of life. You need to experience the sense of belonging to a larger family and have your individuality acknowledged within the larger collective.
Your task is to learn the value of inner freedom, no longer being enslaved to wanting what others have or feeling the need to be like others. You yearn to be valued as an equal individual within the group. Equality is not having the same as everyone else or being like everyone else, but embracing your individual needs, desires and tastes. Freedom to be outside the herd, to broaden your perceptions and admire your own uniqueness is your vocation. To find your vitality and spirit and to feel soulful in the world, you need to strive to be altruistic, broadminded, detached, friendly and original. Let your humanitarianism be your guiding impulse.
Your Moon Sign
Moon in Aries
With your Moon in Aries your need for independence and exploration is high and this applies to your vocation as well. You need to feel free enough to make your own decisions, feeling challenged and motivated by the tasks of life. Therefore in caring for the soul you need to find the courage of your convictions to follow your own course. Being active and physical is important for you, as you feel more alive through exertion and drive. Instinctually you respond quickly to situations. Able to think on your feet and be in the moment you may be well suited to work in critical situations, depending on other aspects of your birth chart. These handy responses may allow you to be adept at a variety of mechanical, technological and electrical trades. If not, they support you to be active and quick to respond in a work situation.
Your independent spirit needs to push itself, therefore physical work or work which requires nerve, adrenaline, stamina and courage to complete the task are well suited to your need to be heroically engaged. Occupations, including sport and business, which have goals and deadlines as well as risk factors, could also encourage your driving spirit. However at the end of the day what is important is that you have tended to your soul in work, which needs to trail blaze and be a pioneer, preferring to be out front than at the back of the queue. Without this stimulus you may feel bored and restless craving thrills and stimuli which could be unsafe. This is likely to be reflected in your choice of vocation. You are a self-starter and therefore starting your own business, working on your own or any form of self-employment may appeal.
If you are drawn to the nurturing professions then your Moon in Aries draws you towards risk-taking and tasks that involve you physically and mentally, demanding your quick reflexes and decision making, such as ambulance work, coaching, paramedics, emergency, trauma, organisational change etc.
Your Rising Sign
Ascendant in Gemini
Your Gemini Ascendant denotes versatility, flexibility, and adaptability. You're clever, cunning, and intuitive. These traits need to be expressed in your life if you are to feel a degree of satisfaction. If other parts of your Birth Chart (and therefore personality) show a leaning toward security then this Ascendant can be an excellent motivator. Your Ascendant means that you easily find the answer to any questions. All you need do is seek and you will find. Complacency will not do. You will know when you need to listen to your Gemini Ascendant when you are feeling restless and bored. You are well-advised to seek stimulation and pursue your interests. If you are bored then you are likely to start worrying or fretting. Money, for the sake of money, is not your ultimate goal in life. Your primary motivation is stimulation, because you hate to be bored. You enjoy exchanging ideas with other people, whether it is through the spoken or written word. Your inability to concentrate, combined with your hectic pace of life, can sometimes get in your way in pursuing your true purpose. Sooner or later you're forced to listen to the advice of those around you, telling you to select a course of action. Therefore you could also benefit from a financial advisor. Communication is vital, and you soon develop a strong desire for knowledge and expression which leads to true fulfilment. If you would like to focus on a positive affirmation connected to money then with your Gemini Ascendant you could use this one from “Creating Money – Keys to Abundance”by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer “I honour and value my creativity and ideas”.

Mercury in Aquarius
The planet Mercury in the zodiac sign of Aquarius indicates that you're brimming with original and unique ideas, which you want to share with all of your friends and colleagues. You enjoy exchanging ideas with other people, particularly friends and groups of people. You have a wide range of interests, and an ability to converse on a variety of topics. You're particularly interested in the new and original, and also in subjects which affect the world as a whole, rather than individuals. For this reason you may delve into environmental issues, science, metaphysics or politics. You're an inventive thinker, capable of communicating your original ideas to others. At times, however, you rebel against old and traditional ideas, chafing at the bit when you stumble across the more staid thinkers of the world. You like to think of the world as one large family, and can't understand small-minded thinking such as racism. On the whole though your understanding of human nature stands you in good stead for helping others to see your point of view.
Venus in Capricorn
With Venus in the sign of Capricorn you're shy in relationships, slow to form friendships with other people but, once you've committed to another person, then you're steadfast in your efforts to maintain the relationship. This is particularly true of your primary relationship. Not one to be distracted by romantic illusions, you may appear to be reticent, almost cold, in the first throes of love. This is partly because you're timid, but it's also because you like to weigh up the pros and the cons to any new relationship. You're a great believer in the adage "actions speak louder than words" and you like to observe other people's actions. You form relationships slowly, but they are enduring. Your head isn't ruled by your heart, although you like to think that you've a good balance. This is fortunate because you're ambitious in relationships, seeking a partner who is of good character and good standing in the community. For these reasons you may have more difficulty in your relationships earlier in life, seemingly missing out on the flurry of social contacts being experienced by your more flighty friends. It's later in life that your relationships flourish and you're placed in positions of trust and responsibility through your liaisons with other people, particularly people in authority. It's also later in life that you stand to profit through your relationships, either financially or through promotions in your social standing.
Mars in Gemini
The planet Mars in the sign of Gemini indicates that you like to initiate ideas and spread information, and can often be found at the hub of communications whether it be at work or home. In fact life can be quite noisy and erratic for those around you. A restless person, you find it difficult to settle down to a single activity and often have to juggle several ongoing commitments. Fortunately you're a dexterous person, who mostly seems to be able to handle several projects at once. You know most of the tricks of the trade and can easily sidestep any problems. Although sometimes your rash behaviour can land you in a spot of trouble, in which you need all of your resources to see you through. You like to learn through your own mistakes rather than rely on other people's advice. You have a tendency to collect information from all sources trying out all of their advice for yourself. You're ardent in your pursuit of education whether it be through study, travelling, reading or everyday life. It's also likely that you're adept at writing or teaching.
Jupiter in Taurus
You've the planet Jupiter in the zodiac sign of Taurus in your birth chart indicating that "success comes to those who wait" could be a good motto for you. This is because you like to take your time and build up your resources slowly and surely. You're a dignified person who realises the value of planning ahead and working towards a goal. Persistence pays off and material wealth is often the result. You're a peaceful person, more likely to be seeking security through expanding your financial resources and property rather than travelling around the world. It's not that you don't like to travel, but simply that you're a little stuck in your ways and prefer to travel for a purpose. Adventure and fun can just as readily be found on the home front as far as you're concerned. It would also be fair to say that you're somewhat attached to a comfortable life, which you easily build for yourself. Reserved by nature you prefer to travel along known pathways rather than venture into new and exciting areas. At times you can also be a little over-indulgent, but then you can usually afford to be. You're also like to have fixed religious ideas, whether they be traditional or unorthodox. It's not that you're narrow-minded, but rather than you adhere to a set of beliefs which can be your guide through life. You're interested in practical spirituality. In other words you believe that it's important to incorporate your religious or spiritual ideals into everyday life. "Actions speak louder than words" may be an appropriate adage for your personal beliefs. For this reason you could also become a patron of a group or organisations.
Saturn in Taurus
The planet Saturn in the sign of Taurus signifies that you're a slow and methodical worker, with practical skills and an ability to carry through on your promises. Although you can be a little slow for some people's liking, you're persistent. Where others may have lost interest in a job or given up in despair, you're able to keep on going until the task is finished. For this reason you're likely to benefit through your work, although you must be wary of becoming too stuck in your ways. You can be quite stubborn and this can be difficult when working on a group project. This tendency to refuse to change your ways can be an obstacle to you gaining managerial positions; nevertheless, you're likely to be in a well-paid position in your profession. Money and possessions are important to you, in particular for comfort and financial security. You're likely to achieve your financial objectives through thrift and careful investments. It's important that you're prudent and economical. Although wealth is an important objective in your life, you're quite reserved when it comes to discussing your personal finances with other people.
Uranus in Virgo
The planet Uranus was in the sign of Virgo from 1962 - 1968.

Chiron in Taurus
Financial matters are a part of your life that may cause you stress. At some point you may suffer as a result of poverty, or perhaps you just feel that you never have enough in the way of material resources. This might lead you to work hard to establish your financial security, but for a while you may have to work in an occupation that is not personally rewarding, which could undermine your self-worth. At some point you are likely to make some important changes in your occupation, so that your job better reflects your evolving values.

Planets in Houses
Sun in 10th house
In your 10th house you have the Sun. Solar occupations have been traditionally linked with speculation and risk-taking in entrepreneurial business ventures. While the Sun is not psychologically associated with risk, except perhaps the risks of self-discovery, the Solar sphere of the 5th house rules speculation and gambling and conjures up images of commodity traders, promoters, stock exchange personnel, investment bankers, high risk investors.
Solar qualities of leadership and fathering are connected with authoritative and executive positions. The Sun represents vocations that father and foster others, and with the Sun in the 10th house leadership is part of the career path; hence positions such as foremen, presidents, magistrates, community leaders, business managers, instructors, principals and team directors are reflective of the Sun shining through the 10th house. On a personal level the need for the personal father's approval may be high and this could be unconsciously transferred onto superiors in the workforce when father's approval feels lacking or is withheld. Father may also be influential in the choice of vocation; this is not always conscious, as father's unlived professional life may be cast a shadow over your own career path.
The Sun is also linked to entertainment professions, amusements, self-improvement, creative expression or careers involved relating to an audience. Acting, the theatre, the performing arts, motivational training, teaching, sales, advertising and promotions are all consistent with the urge to express the self. This also could manifest in careers involving amusement centres, or professions which deal with leisure and recreation. The Sun is also the natural ruler of the 5th house, suggesting working with children and children's products. A wide range of careers would fit this category such as teachers, child counsellors, children's recreation or amusement, children and educational toys, children's wear etc.
Of all the planetary types, the solar type is one of the most difficult to typify. However, you need to enjoy what you do and feel personally identified with your vocation. There is a strong affinity with creativity and a need to be acknowledged and congratulated for your creative endeavours. Ultimately what is important is that you are able to identify with your career and be able to place your creativity and yourself at the heart of what you do.
Moon in 12th House
It is time to slow down and reflect on your life. You are ending one phase of your life and starting another. This does not mean that everything changes during this phase, but rather that you change in some meaningful way. At the end of this phase you may be in the same career, home, and relationship with the same friends and family members. However, you are likely to have changed in some way. Of course, it is possible that your process of reflection results in a change of direction, ending one phase of your life before moving on to a completely new scenario. You would be well advised to ponder any changes rather than make rash decisions. This is a time of you working surreptitiously to achieve your life goals. You are unlikely to receive recognition for your efforts right now. This will come later. You can liken this phase to a theatrical production. Much behind the scenes work is carried out on a production before the season begins. The director plots the action, the actors rehearse, the sets, lighting and costumes are designed, to name just some of the behind the scenes activities. Eventually the lights go up on a polished and professional performance and everyone receives well-deserved accolades. Right now you are working behind the scenes on something important in your life. This could be a hobby, a work project, home renovations, pregnancy, finances or perhaps even a budding relationship. It is important that you take time to contemplate your goals and personal needs so that you can benefit from the rewards that come in the next phase of your life. Procrastination is not helpful during this phase. Meditation and prayer may be beneficial. The sign of your progressed Moon will also show you the manner in which you are likely to withdraw from society. For instance if your progressed Moon is in a fire or air sign then you are more likely to be restless unless actively working behind the scenes on a project. If your progressed Moon is in an earth or water sign then you may be more satisfied to reflect quietly on the different aspects of your life.
Mercury in 10th house
Mercury is in your 10th house. As ruler of the intellectual signs of Gemini and Virgo, Mercurial occupations involve both the gathering and the analysing of information. The Mercurial archetype inclines towards professions that involve data, ideas and information technology, such as the information industry which now involves computers and the Internet. Statistical analysis, statisticians, scientists, accounting and economic analysis and librarians are also Mercurial occupations that involve research and processing of data.
Mercury was the messenger of the Gods and its astrological function is to deliver the message and to communicate. Therefore there is a host of Mercurial professions that include lecturers, teachers, writers, interpreters, journalists, radio announcers, editors, postal workers, the computer and information industry, the media and news reporting, advertising which might be of interest when contemplating career. Mercury is also the patron of travellers, their guide, and astrologically rules 'short trips' in astrology; therefore occupations involving the travel industry, drivers, couriers, tour guides and organizers, interpreters, flight attendants, cab drivers are consistent with this placement. Mythological Mercury was also the god of commerce and vocations involving trade, negotiation, contracts, verbal skills, argument and persuasion are akin to his nature. You might consider the field of commerce, commodity trading, or the stock exchange. These might also be an appropriate sector to help consume some of your abundant nervous energy.
The analytical side of Mercury also combines with the urge towards health in professions such as clinical psychologists, psychiatry and psychiatric nursing, dieticians, health care workers and medical analysis. The Virgo side of Mercury is also important in all industries that provide services to their clients. With this archetype atop your horoscope it is important that you have flexibility and continuous change in your vocation. Without adequate movement or variety in your career you may become anxious, stressed or scattered. However, with the influence of youthful Mercury you are destined for many interesting assignments and positions in your chosen career. You have the knack of being able to reinvent yourself and see things afresh.
Venus in 9th House
As the planet of love progresses into the 9th House of your Birth Chart so do you begin to question the meaning of life. In particular you may query the relationships, the lifes and times of your loved ones and your deepest connections with others. You may feel an urge to break the bonds of the past and to emerge with a new set of values. Your understanding of God, the world at large and world issues may come into focus. If you have connections with other cultures or people from foreign lands then these are likely to change for the better. If those connected to you do not make positive changes, then you are likely to instigate them yourself. You are ready for a new phase of life that is based on meaningful and purposeful connections. Your world is expanding in ways that bring you pleasure and likewise you want to share your experiences. You may feel an urge to study an academic course, or travel to foreign lands. If so then you are likely to do so for pure pleasure rather than from a sense of ambition, purpose or duty. Money will flow when you need it for publishing, travel and study.
Mars in 2nd house
Masculine Mars is in your 2nd house, the sector that reveals your potential earning power and what you value. Planets in the 2nd house are the forces that mould your sense of worth and value. Considering the Martian presence in your life can help you understand your authentic attitude towards money and possessions. Mars values independence, therefore you probably prefer to earn your own living and pay your own bills rather than relying on others to provide. You would probably also chose to be self-employed or at least do your own thing if given the choice. As a warrior you prefer to fight your own battles rather than someone else's. You value your independent spirit and want to put it to work. Quite common with this placement are individuals who earn their living in trades such as electricians, fitters and turners, builder or carpenters where there is goal and deadline. Occupations where danger and adrenaline is high such as working in an emergency unit, the police force or the fire patrol would also appeal to action-packed Mars. Given the entrepreneurial streak you might also be fired up working in high risk positions such as the stock market, financial trading, investing or property development. This energy also yearns to be active so physical or sport-orientated jobs might also suit. Therefore there are a variety of vocations you might be drawn to. Even though they may be masculine in temperament they are not always the exclusive domain of men. As the best-seller Men are from Mars suggested earning your income is dictated by this archetypal essence which is drawn to danger, intrigue and excitement, values independence, adventure and courage and needs to be stimulated and challenged.
One of your resources is your entrepreneurial flair and your bravado. You are willing to take a risk, confront obstacles and be challenged. This suggests you will be quite happy exploring all your options on your career path, starting and resigning from many different jobs until you find your niche. As you look back over your career path you will probably find a number of fool-hearted enterprises that you have attempted. All were important for you as you learn on the job and need to experiment with your what works and what doesn't. You need to be challenged and inspired by what you do and need a goal post in sight. Your competitive nature needs to strive for a finish. Whether you compete with others in the workforce or against your own standards you do need to set guidelines and objectives.
Mars is also the planet of desire and depending on your background you either have a strong desire to go and get what you want or are ambivalent, still caught in the backwash of earlier attitudes which do not support your sense of self esteem. One thing is for sure: you do want things and it is natural for you to wish for these. So make your wish list and work towards getting these. Look at what you value. Whether that is a red sports car or a surf board you probably are attracted to boy's toys and gadgets that make life a lot more fun, sporty and adventuresome. And this is the way you value life and will try to earn your living. Happiness for you is finding the way to be gainfully employed doing your own thing.
Jupiter in 12th House
Jupiter is also in the 12th House of your chart signifying that in life's most despairing moments you've the ability to dig deep into a well of optimism and overcome all difficulties. You're a kind-hearted person who likes to help anyone who is suffering, perhaps even working in a charitable organisation. You're more likely to work behind the scenes rather than taking on a public role, refusing to accept public accolades. Nevertheless your good works don't go unnoticed and you're likely to benefit in other ways. It's possible that you work in an institution such as a hospital or museum, where you can work quietly and unobserved. If you do have an active public life, then you benefit greatly from extended periods of time spent in seclusion. You've a great respect for ancient wisdom, the spiritual teachings of past civilisations. Secret societies may also play a beneficial role in your life. Although you may suffer setbacks during your life, these are followed by successful periods.
Saturn in 12th House
The planet Saturn progresses slowly through the Zodiac and therefore its influence is subtle. Saturn is a wonderful planet when you do your homework. However, if you try to escape your responsibilities then you are likely to suffer the consequences. So wherever this planet progresses you need to listen to your conscience and obey, rather than try to cut corners. In your case Saturn is progressing now through the 12th House of your Birth Chart and you are likely to experience a less confident time than usual. Isolation may be part of your life now. This can be for positive reasons if you choose to work on a project that demands your total attention or to parent young children at home. However, you are not your usual confident self and you need to find alternative resources. You are required to dig deep and discover inner strengths that you did not know existed.
Uranus in 5th House
The planet Uranus is in the 5th House of your birth chart suggesting that you've unusual, perhaps even unconventional creative abilities. This could be that your artistic talents display quite an unusual sense of taste, or that you're creative in a more scientific or metaphysical sense. Either way you like to be original both in your hobbies and your work. This placement also indicates unusual love affairs, and unconventional relationships with children. Perhaps you're too busy pursuing your creative interests to have time for children, or perhaps an unexpected event has prevented you from having children. If you do have children of your own, then they are likely to be independent, perhaps even unusual in some way. It's also possible that you and your children enjoy daring recreational activities together. In some cases In some cases you could experience a feeling of separation from your children. For example your children may assert their independence and go off on their own for a period of time, and you may find this emotionally painful and feel a sense of loss. On the other hand you may enjoy the fact that you have a child or children who value their autonomy. Scandal is likely to be a part of your life if you indulge in your fascination for love affairs. Gambling, or any kind of speculation, is also likely to be a rocky road, which is best avoided.
Neptune in 12th House
The planet Neptune placed in the 12th House of your chart means that you often feel overwhelmed by the realities of the modern-day world, and yearn for seclusion. These feelings hamper your creative projects, and spiritual process in life. You may spend much of your time day-dreaming or fantasising about possibilities, rather than acting. If you immerse yourself in these fantasies then you're likely to be escaping from reality, which doesn't help you live your true potential. However, you're likely to benefit from moments of seclusion which enable you to reflect before taking action. You're a compassionate person, with a talent for caring for other people. You may enjoy investigating your psychic abilities, or working behind the scenes.
Pluto in 12th House
The planet Pluto is in the 12th House of your birth chart indicating that one of your biggest challenges is to overcome your overwhelming sense of responsibility for other people's problems. This is quite a feat because you're often at the centre of conflict without really understanding why. This probably started when you were a young child, and seemed to be the focus of the rest of your family's aggression. Perhaps you couldn't seem to stop yourself getting into trouble, feeling compelled to get into mischief. It's also possible that there was no justification for the accusations. As an adult you again seem to be in the thick of conflict, even if it's now the role of mediator or spokesperson, rather than perpetrator. These situations seem to happen even if you don't want to be involved. It could be that you've the inability to say "no" to others people's problems, or that you're swept along by events. As a result you may have the urge to study psychology or another avenue that explores the unconscious realms of the human psyche. You may also be drawn to study secret arts such as magic or alchemy. Once you've gained some understanding of this pattern of behaviour, you may choose to be an advocate on other people's behalf. Making a choice is very different from being caught up seemingly against your will.
NorthNode in the 7th House
In your horoscope you have the North Node in the 7th House and the South Node in the first. In the horoscope this is the axis of self and other, the delicate balance between being focused exclusively on others as opposed to yourself. Therefore this tug-of-war between you and others is an embedded feature of your vocation. Your chart suggests that you are more inclined to follow your own desires rather than compromise, yet the task in this life is to feel fulfilled and complete in your relationships, be they intimate or business partnerships.
To feel that you are an independent soul, free of the need to be involved with others becomes an unhappy deception, as this is based on a false sense of security forged out of a defensive sense of independence. Naturally you do have a strong spirit and a well developed independent streak, but your task now is to place effort and conscious will into relationships. Interestingly your time invested in others will be rewarded with realizations into yourself. The pathway in front of you suggests that the focus on others will bring out more of your own authentic self. Independence, freedom and adventure are innately aspects of your character and therefore you will not be able to lose what you own, unless of course you do not value it. Through relating and the interchange with others you discover the missing link to your sense of selfhood. Therefore in your vocational quest your partners, associates, colleagues and workmates play a significant role. You love a contest and the challenge now is to master relationship. Even when facing your adversaries, your challenge is to find the middle ground through developing reconciliatory strategies. Therefore vocationally you are well suited to managerial and leadership roles, as you have an innate sense of being able to take risks and confront difficulties. Effort is needed to remain focused on others; however, when this is accomplished the mix of entrepreneurial skill and personal interaction contributes to you becoming a leader in your field of endeavour. Interpersonal relationships are the key to your expression of individuality and through your associations you are able to make an impact on the wider community.
Chiron in 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 Sagittarius
You were born with the North Node in Sagittarius and the South Node in Gemini, the mutable polarity of the zodiac which aligns with the quest for knowledge and truth. Your South Node suggests that you have a curiosity for life while your North Node suggest a call to adventure, to quest for truth and meaning seeking answers to the larger questions of life. Therefore vocationally it is important to pack a suitcase or strap on a backpack as preparation for a journey of discovery and education. To discover your pathway in the world you will need freedom of movement and lots of opportunities to be mobile. Opportunities for growth, advancement and learning as well as your intuitive and strategic abilities need to be fostered in a career. You need to know that you have an infinite range of possibilities, a freedom of movement, wide-open spaces and a limitless promise of discovery in your career; anything less is disappointing!
Your invitation is to be able to perceive the bigger picture out of the infinite information and communication available. Your task is to make the information meaningful, offer vision in a short sighted environment, see beyond the details and inject spirit into a soulless world. You must battle the dragon of being too logical and rational and use the divine gift of your intuition and perception to make a difference. While you feel more comfortable in the square your destiny lies outside it and you will be called on to be much more visionary and far seeing than you are comfortable with. Your destination points towards education and mentoring. Somewhere along the way you have accumulated a tremendous amount of information, facts and data. In fact you may still feel that you need to gather more through classes, courses and programs. However this may leave you feeling stuck in the role of apprentice and learner, rather than what your destiny pulls you towards and that is the role of educator and visionary. Somehow it is imperative to channel your learning into the creation of new systems of knowledge and education. Your idealism and interest in social education and reform may require that there is a degree of social involvement in your occupation.
Ethics, morals and ideals are important; therefore it is essential that your work reflects your personal ethics. You need to be involved with something that you can believe in and recommend. Your philosophical and humanistic view of the world needs to be utilised, as then an enthusiastic energy that inspires and motivates others is natural. Vocations involving the dispensation of knowledge, sales, motivation and encouraging others to perform beyond their limits are natural for you. Your need for freedom and the necessity to fully express yourself to pursue your goals openly and honestly is important.
Aspects
Sun Conjunct Midheaven
You were born near midday, as the Sun had reached its highest peak. Like the bright Sun you are called to shine in the world suggesting your destiny is to be identified through your career. Your vocation is a call to know yourself and you will identify strongly with your work and profession. The Solar qualities of leadership, fathering, fostering, creativity, self-expression, confidence and courage are important to develop. It is helpful to understand that, like all vocations, there will be peaks and troughs, successes and failures, as well as critical moments of transition. It is imperative to be as aware of the times of descent and the shadows along your career path, as it is the ascent and light.
Sun Hard Saturn
The Sun is making a difficult contact with the planet Saturn in your chart indicating that you have to face some hardships before achieving your life goals. It's possible that you had a difficult childhood, experiencing either emotional or financial troubles. Perhaps your father, or a father figure, was an imposing and restrictive force in your life. As a child you may have felt imprisoned, unable to communicate your innermost thoughts and feelings. You may have been frightened to venture forth in the world. As an adult you may still have difficulty expressing yourself and at times feel that external circumstances are still somewhat onerous. You're fearful, worrying about the outcome of decisions and actions. On a positive note childhood difficulties can become the basis for adult wisdom, particularly if you're able to overcome your fears. As you grow older you learn that your natural reserve stands you in good stead, giving you the ability to stand back and assess situations. Your confidence grows enabling you to achieve your goals through attention to detail and hard work.
Moon Soft Mars
The Moon is making an aspect to Mars in your chart indicating that your home life is active and boisterous, rather than a peaceful environment. Fortunately you're an impulsive and emotional person, who prefers action to becoming bored by inactivity. You're likely to feel more comfortable when faced with a challenge. For this reason you may enjoy working around the house or working from home. It's possible that your need for an active home life stems from your childhood home environment, which was busy and boisterous. Perhaps your mother, or a strong woman in your household, was vivacious and dynamic, possibly even fiery. In some cases male members of the family can display these traits. Either way at a young age you learnt how to enjoy a spirited home life, which you've carried into your adult life. You need to be wary of a lack of sensitivity to other people's feelings. Not everyone is as feisty as you. You could also try to avoid becoming embroiled in arguments with women. This could be difficult as you're impetuous, liable to act without thinking. Mostly you enjoy the challenge of new activity, but at times your vigorous nature can land you in hot water.
Mercury Square Neptune
You may find it difficult to concentrate right now. Your mind is muddled. It is time to slow down, particularly if you are a mentally focused person. If you are able to, you need to avoid any task that requires mental agility and concentration. Instead allow your mind to wander to more creative pastures. This can be the perfect time to consider an artistic, philanthropic or spiritual interest. A holiday or a spiritual retreat may be beneficial.
Mercury 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 Hard Jupiter
The planet Mercury is making an unfavourable aspect to the planet Jupiter in your chart indicating that you're likely to encounter obstacles in your education. This could be for a number of reasons. Perhaps you've so many ideas and plans that you're not sure which ones to follow, and as a result never seem to get started. It's also possible that you've many unfinished projects, because your attention span is limited. Perhaps you lack good judgement. In all of these scenarios your intentions are good, but you lack the discipline to accomplish your goals. You make promises you can't keep and are prone to exaggeration. As a result your credibility is generally low. You may even become the subject of scandal and gossip. Of course this all depends on other influences in your chart. And the good news is that you learn a great deal from your mistakes, growing older and wiser with each passing year. As a result you're likely to overcome your obstacles, and achieve your goals, particularly in the areas of communication and education. It's also possible that you choose to communicate your experience through teaching, writing or public speaking.
Mercury Hard Uranus
The planets Mercury and Uranus are making unfavourable contact in your birth chart indicating that your education and communications with other people are fraught with difficulty. Although you've an active and intelligent mind, you've so many original thoughts and ideas that you find it difficult to express them. This is true for your verbal and written communications. You also have trouble concentrating for long periods of time, needing the stimulation of constant change and new topics of interest. 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. Perhaps you don't realise that you've a tendency to thrust your own radical thoughts and ideas onto other people, without listening to their own opinions. You wilfully defend your right to have different views and can fail to appreciate other people's points of view. You need to learn to respect all forms of communication and thinking. 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. Writing, publishing, advertising, science, astrology and electrical affairs may all be of interest, although any unusual subject will catch your attention.
Venus Hard Saturn
The planets Venus and Saturn have combined in your chart indicating that you have difficulty in intimate relationships. You seek commitment and security in your primary relationship, but may be disappointed at some stage of your life. Its possible for you to have a rewarding, long-term relationship with someone trustworthy and reliable, but it's likely to be after initial setbacks and upsets. You're faithful and loyal, a dependable, stable and dutiful partner. However, you need to be wary of becoming involved with someone who tries to control your movements and behaviour. Depending on other influences in your chart you may be shy and inhibited in your personal relationships, and be fearful of standing up for your rights. One of your parents may have been too strict, eroding your confidence and ability to make your own way in the world. Consequently you fear expressing yourself, particularly in intimate relationships, and harbour feelings of being unattractive. While your personal relationships may prove difficult you've the ability to form good business partnerships. This is probably because business partners don't require intimacy or emotional vulnerability. It's also possible that you're attracted to someone much older. The good news is that once you overcome your feelings of inadequacy you've the ability to form secure and long-lasting personal relationships based on firm foundations. You may favour a traditional marital relationship, complete with a ceremony and wedding vows.
Venus Hard Mars
The planets Venus and Mars are combining unfavourably in your chart indicating that you struggle to balance your own needs and the needs of your partners in relationships. You see-saw between wanting closeness and freedom. On the one hand you seek adventure on your own, on the other you want to be close to your partner. The ideal is a balance between the two. You're charming and assertive, passionate and alive, and admire these qualities in a potential intimate partner. You love to share your adventures with your partner, and it's likely that your relationship will inspire both your and your partner to explore new territory. However, you may become impatient with your partner, or aggressive and irritable when he or she fails to keep up with your activities. You can be equally impatient with yourself, but this isn't necessarily any comfort to your partner.
Venus Soft Pluto
The combination of the planets Venus and Pluto in your chart indicate that you enjoy commitment and challenge in your personal relationships. Unlike many other people, you're not afraid to make the necessary changes demanded within close relationships. In fact you prefer change, especially if the alternative is a staid and steady relationship. You like to be consumed with love and passion, and are happiest when with a partner who feels the same way. You can be disappointed when others fail to soar to great emotional heights and plummet the emotional depths by your side. You want intensity, perhaps even a little drama, in your primary relationship. You're fiercely loyal and committed, and expect as much from your partner. Problems can arise when you don't feel a strong bond with your partner, or if that bond is threatened, particularly by another person. You're a jealous person, and quite capable of seeking revenge when wronged. You need to be careful to choose the right person as your primary partner - someone who reciprocates your love and passion. Otherwise you can waste a lot of time and energy trying to make a doomed relationship work. You may also benefit from directing some of your energy into an all-consuming project, such as fighting for human rights or an intensely creative pursuit.
Venus Conjunct Midheaven
Luminous Venus is at the pinnacle of your horoscope suggesting that her values of beauty, pleasure, form, balance and proportion are woven into the fabric of your vocation. Vocationally this suggests you are well suited to careers where design, décor, style, hospitality, diplomacy, mediation, pleasure, partnership and counselling may play a major role. You are interested in beautifying and harmonising the environment and whether you take an artistic, economical or social pathway to satisfy this yearning, you feel called to enhance and improve your surrounds. As the archetype of sexuality and relationship, this also suggests that partnership and career may be entwined at some point on your vocational journey.
Venus Hard Moon
You're likely to experience problems in your relationships, particularly your relationships with women. This is because of the difficult combination of the Moon and the planet Venus in your chart. On the one hand you could tend to take your relationships for granted, spending little time or effort on improving yourself or your friendships. As a result you're likely to be somewhat unpopular and lose face. If you're looking for favours from your friends, or for a satisfactory primary relationship, then you need to take stock and improve your attitude. On the other hand it's also possible that your friends tend to take you for granted. On a more positive note you enjoy the company of other people, and may benefit through your relationships with women, but probably only with some effort on your behalf.
Mars SemiSquare 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 Soft Pluto
A favourable combination of the planets Mars and Pluto indicates that you're resourceful and have a pool of enormous energy available when needed. Your will-power is awesome once you've decided on your objective, and few of your friends or colleagues would stand in your way, recognising the importance you place on achieving your ambitions. You have the ability to work with persistence and determination, brooking no opposition on your path. You work with intensity towards your ambitions, which are plentiful, and achieve a great sense of satisfaction when you have reached your goal. Those who know you well also recognise a volcanic temper when they see one. Whether you're the type to lose your cool often or rarely, you certainly make an impact when you do! On other hand you're a great person to have around in a crisis because not much daunts your indomitable spirit. You're capable of swift and effective actions, and commitment to seeing something through to the end.
Mars Hard Neptune
At times you've difficulty getting motivated, lacking the energy to fulfil the many task in your life. This is because of the difficult combination of the planets Mars and Neptune. It's not that you lack in creative ideas, but rather that you sense that you don't have the energy to carry them out. It's possible that you're prone to allergies and physical illness, but one of the keys to success is taking time out to experience quiet and reflective moments. You need 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. You've the ability to develop great creative power but you need to avoid drugs and alcohol. It's also possible that you have either a strong artistic or spiritual side to your nature, which could be used for self-motivation. Your hobbies or career may reflect your spiritual or artistic gifts. 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.
Jupiter Conjunction Neptune
"Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal." This quotation by author Ralph Vaull Starr could be the theme of your life right now. It is a time for dreaming, for reflection and for making the most of any opportunities that arise to enable you to follow your dreams.
Jupiter Soft Uranus
The planets Jupiter and Uranus are making a positive aspect in your birth chart suggesting that you're enthusiastic about new ideas and are always keen to learn about different subjects, whether through study or experience. At times your enthusiasm knows no bounds, leading you in to unexplored territory. This can be exciting and a little frightening! You've an enormous ability and energy to achieve your goals, which are likely to be linked to your belief in making a positive contribution to society. These goals may or may not be realistic, depending on your circumstances and other influences in your birth chart. It's possible that you can contribute to a grand-scale beneficial scheme, but you would also do well to remember that each individual's life can have a positive effect on the world. You've a tendency to be grandiose, and don't take well to being restricted by other people or circumstances. Fortunately your inventive nature means that you can adapt to most circumstances, rather than forcing conflict. Traditional or unorthodox religious beliefs could play a major role in motivating your life goals, and helping you achieve your objectives. Metaphysics, astrology, and science may also prove your forte.
Saturn conjunct Neptune
With Saturn Conjunct Neptune, you experience a profound interaction between Kafziel and Tamiel. Kafziel is the Angel of memory, solitude, and tears. Together these Angels put you on the path of personal integrity as surely as you follow one thought with another.
Your slow growth of understanding could be seen as a weakness. However, your path is one of steady, almost certain forward progress. You analyze and consider each decision and each new idea. In this way every step is firm and solid, not tentative or half-hearted.
Intelligent activity becomes part of your nature. Intelligent activity involves the skillful use and application of knowledge, so you must first gain knowledge before you can apply it effectively. Kafziel and Tamiel work in concert in your life by first supplying the means to learn, and then aiding your mind through dreams or visualizations of how to use the information you have gained.
As you allow your Angels into your life, you gain the capacity to maintain hope in the face of seeming disaster. You discover that even in the most difficult circumstances, you have Angelic protection, and you can find a way to work your way out of the problem.
These Angels help you learn how to manage pain. When you or someone else experience severe physical or emotional pain, your Angels provide the means for relieving its severity, as well as providing the path to resolving it altogether.
Zadkiel and Tamiel provide dreams to help you through life's difficulties. You have tenacity of spirit, and your Angels support its use. Sometimes you will have a conscious idea, and you work step by step to make that dream a reality. Other times dreams provide very direct messages about your life. Either way, your mental strength is a special ally throughout your life.
Uranus trine Neptune
With Uranus Trine Neptune, you experience a gentle intuitive link between Zadkiel and Tamiel. Zadkiel is the Angel of Death, and Tamiel of Dreams. Together they extend your understanding of the nature of life and its limits. They also reveal the many ways you can change your life through skillful action.
You have a natural love of ritual. You find, when you think about it, that ritual pervades everything you do. You get along with other people very well because you observe the steps of ritual, entering into each conversation, activity, or association according to socially or culturally defined rules, and in so doing you put other people at ease without undo fuss or bother.
You can develop subconscious talents through conscious expression. In concert with your Angels, you express little pieces of your subconscious awareness in conversation or action. As you do this, you affirm your less conscious abilities and honor them and your Angels. Then your mind is better able to provide ideas and feelings to aid your work.
Inspired idealism may not be what you think you have been looking for, but you are certain to find it eventually. Your Angels send you dreams and ideas all the time, and you have only to pay attention to them. Your idealism provides a foundation for you to help others who experience major disasters or transformations in their lives. When you or others experience loss, your Angels are ready and willing to lift you up.
A potential weakness is the lack of stamina. Physical exercise to build lung capacity and muscle strength is well worth the effort. The physical strength you gain provides a foundation for emotional and spiritual strength.
For mental strength, meditation or yoga provide an organized practice. Kundalini yoga provides a medium for mental focus as well as physical exercise, building all the structures you need to support your developing psychic awareness.
Another possible weakness of structure could lead to high blood pressure and its associated ailments. The above mentioned exercise, meditation, and yoga all serve to reduce blood pressure and strengthen the system so as to avoid dangers of stroke and heart ailments.
Heightened psychic states including clairvoyance are the norm for this combination.
Uranus Soft Neptune
The planets Uranus and Neptune are combining in your chart suggesting that your creative urges are strong. You enjoy exploring new territory, either through studying or travelling and your talents may lie in writing, healing, social welfare, healing or spiritual fields. You may be keen to explore metaphysical matters, perhaps even belonging to a secret society or a group dedicated to global healing, charity or spirituality. Your psychic abilities and intuition are likely to be heightened, and this may help you explore your creativity.
NorthNode Soft Sun
The North Node and the Sun are combining in your chart to suggest that you need to overcome any inhibitions which stand in the way of you achieving your purpose. You'll feel most joyful when you're fully expressing yourself. It's possible that events will force you to come to terms with your identity in order that you learn to express your fullest potential.
SouthNode Soft Sun
The South Node and the Sun are combining in a way that is inhibiting you from expressing your true potential. You're being challenged to fully express yourself with integrity and with respect for other people's rights. 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.
SouthNode Soft Saturn
The combination of the South Node and Saturn is a difficult one, indicating that you face restrictions in your current life and struggle to express yourself. At times you may feel that the world is a hard place, particularly the demands of daily life. It's possible that you've inherited some emotional or physical problems from your father, or his side of the family, which restrict your ability to achieve your goals. These problems can be overcome, but it's only through hard work and shouldering your responsibilities that you're likely to achieve your purpose.
Chiron conjunct Jupiter
There is a deep wound when it comes to the learning process with this aspect, but it is not easy to deal with.
People born with Chiron conjunct Jupiter are born with an insatiable desire to learn. In fact, you were born wanting to learn more intensely, and a broader range of subjects, than other children. The problem was, however, one of structure.
It was difficult to teach you, but not because you were not smart. The difficulty was getting you to learn by following a particular schedule, at a particular time, or following any preset route, especially if you had to be in the same place each time.
Your ability to understand concepts and symbols, meanings and ideas, works best when outside a structured environment. You are at your best when you can teach yourself, or at least, pick the subject, time and place to study. (You would have profited much more from individual tutors than you would have from regular schooling.)
You may have been made to feel at times you were stupid, or uncooperative, or even a troublemaker, because your mind did not want to follow the course of learning set out for you by authorities. You may also have been made to feel that there was something wrong with you because of your curiosity, perhaps you asked questions about ‘forbidden’ subjects, or perhaps you were criticized for going off the subject time and time again.
In order to heal, you need to understand that the wound occurred because your particular type of mind was just not understood, nor were your methods of learning. As a result of your unique mind, you can often perceive significance in things that others overlook, or in ideas others find trivial. Thus you have the potential of reaching others to help others find meaning in their own lives. But if you have not done much healing, this special vantage point can also come out negatively, you may notice great significance in many unpleasant or negative events, and weave a philosophy built upon despair or sadness. But as you heal, you can perceive the meaning of even the most negative events, and develop a philosophy of change of the sort needed to alter negative conditions. One lesson this aspect requires you to learn is to see the bright side in situations, even if it is not readily apparent, and to see the good in people, even if it is buried deep within.
Another aspect of the wound with this position is that you may have been ridiculed for your beliefs, or judged because of them. Or perhaps authorities tried to make you doubt things you were sure of. Either way, it hurt.
As you grew, this wound caused you to feel a need to be certain in your beliefs to have no doubt that your convictions are correct.Depending on how well you have healed, this can manifest positively or negatively, the courage of your convictions, versus negative blind faith.
All in all, you are able to find meaning in events, and in life itself, that are not quite the same as the way others perceive them. Because of your unique way of thinking, you develop a philosophy/religion/belief system that is not part of any mainstream system.
Chiron conjunct Neptune
If you have a conjunction of Chiron and Neptune, you are part of a very select group. In the past one hundred years, the two bodies only came together briefly during August and September, 1945. The world changed forever in that brief period. The walls of the smallest bit of matter, the atom (Chiron) were dissolved (Neptune), and the world saw in Hiroshima the terrifying possibility of total world destruction. But the world also saw people come together in the form of the United Nations, attempting to start healing humanity by looking at the larger picture of the whole earth rather than countries.
Singer Van Morrison was born at this time, and his music blends blues, jazz, and folk; tells of pain, and dreams, has the power to mesmerise and disturb, and touches almost everyone personally, influencing a multitude of musicians that came after him.
The power in this conjunction gives you the potential, likewise, to do something that can influence large masses of people, as deep inside you see the common connection that unites all humanity. This can be through art or music, through words, or by your actions. It can be on an emotional level, or spiritual.
However, there is also the possibility of a negative manifestation as the healing and wholemaking qualities of Chiron can be distorted by Neptune, leading you to see your role as that of a changer or influencer of people, yet not realizing that the power you are tapping is not your own but universal forces. This can be dangerous to you, and to those around you.
Positively you have a keen sensitivity to the needs of others and a basic understanding of how to give them what is needed. It is a powerful position for any teacher for it gives the ability to convey much more than just words, and much more than the pupils may realize they are learning.
There is a super-sensitivity to people, and to unseen energies, but if the environment you grew up in did not allow you to admit to having feelings and picking up vibes, this aspect can be repressed, much to both personal and to society’s loss.
Chiron square Mercury
You are a very original thinker, one-of-a-kind, a true innovator and proud of it. A wound, very early in life, made you realize just how different your thinking was than of those around you. You probably embraced this discovery of being different and may even have felt happy about it.
The wound can cause you to stick to your conclusions rather than considering what other people have to say and there are times when this actually is a negative trait. Sometimes your conclusions are right on, but not always and you can have a blind spot about this.
As you heal, you will learn to listen, not only to your own logic, but also to that of others, and learn that at times others may be right.
And you speak your mind! (Try to stop you!) Have you heard the song with the refrain, ‘I did it my way’? That one is your theme song.
Some people love and admire you for your mind, and your words, but you have no trouble compiling lists of the enemies you have made among people who are too easily offended. There is even a tendency in you to try doing particular things just to disprove some statement that these things are impossible, cannot be done.
You can have a rather sharp wit, even a bit biting if you choose. Rarely do you find anyone with this aspect who is not rather intelligent. Chiron seems to push Mercury to learn more, find out more, and think more. Often, when you were growing up, you had trouble sticking to certain lines of thinking, and discovering (sometimes traumatically) that you had to change your thinking. Once you learn, through such forced changes, that your mind must adapt, be willing to try new ways of thinking, you then relish trying new and experimental approaches.
Chiron trine Uranus
If you have Chiron trine Uranus you are part of a small, select group of people, born either between 1945–1946, or 1994–1995. This aspect does not in itself denote a wound, but it does show something that can stir up any that you may have: anything that tests, or questions, your integrity.
You cannot stand being involved in any tasks, job, or career that puts your basic integrity into question, and you would be willing to leave such a situation because of this. Less than honest, or less than honourable circumstances that might force you to be untrue to your own principles are totally unacceptable, and you would have no problem leaving to go elsewhere. You can deal with situations which may not be totally open and above-board, as long as they do not force you to put your motto, ‘To thine own self be true’ in jeopardy.
Another side to this aspect is that you may have major lessons to learn about admitting you are wrong about something, not only to other people,also to yourself as well.
One of the positive sides to this aspect is that it gives you an ability, if you tap into it, be able to fit square pegs into round holes (and vice versa.) Because this is a trine between the planet that likes to shatter the status quo (Uranus), and the one that looks for doorways beyond the present limits (Chiron), you have a good sense of when to work within the current structure making changes, versus when the current structure needs to be broken apart to make way for something better.
And it is very common for this aspect to be found in people who are attracted to careers which other people may feel are out of character.
