Which path should I take?

There are several possibilities in my life right now but I also have a chronic medical condition that leaves me with limited resources. Should I work towards finishing what I've started here (which hasn't been going well so far) or move on and take up something entirely different (and risky)?

TC


Dear TC,

Do you have something else in mind already? Or are you asking "should I jump out into the void" so to speak? I can see why both work and health are challenges for you. You have Saturn, Sun, Pluto and Venus in your 6th house of work/daily living. You are ambitious, but experience physical restrictions that have at times limited your growth. With all that stuff in Libra too, I would expect that the opinions of others factor heavily into your decision-making equations as well.

It's not your illness that is killing your dreams, it's all that people-pleasing. Right now your little Libra collection is Trine the trio of Chiron/Neptune and Jupiter, all of them in the 10th House of career and ambition.

I wager if you drop some of what Caroline Myss calls your "Pleaserites" - the folks who you are taking responsibility for - you will find that you suddenly have a whole lot more energy for following your dreams. Pluto is all about change, which works well for the idea of doing something dramatic, Jupiter in a big way. The Trine being in Air signs, it's going to be something creative or cerebral, something very different than you have done before. But Chiron is in there twice - your natal Chiron in the first house in Taurus speaks with a voice saying "Don't you really think you should be doing something a lot more practical?"

I don't think practical has been working for you. What you want is big and risky and nobody ever got to the end of life saying "Gee I wish I'd played it safe a lot more". I can't promise you success, what I can promise you is you won't be happy until you give your dreams a shot.

First impressions

What are your first impressions when you read my chart?

TZ

Dear TZ,

Normally I am looking for a more targeted question when I do these questions on my blog. I can only do so many free readings, it helps me to know what your area of interest is first. Otherwise I pick what interests me, and that may tell everyone more about me than it does you. You did not include a time of birth and that can severely limit the amount of information one can get from an astrological chart.

What I can say is you have Sun conjunct Neptune, which makes you very empathic and intuitive, but it is Saturn opposed Chiron that catches my eye. You have some forgiveness work to do with male authority figures in your family, fathers, uncles or male mentors from childhood.

will i succeed in politics?

will i succeed in politics? when?
will i become a chief minister or minister? when?

V


Dear V,

I often edit the posts I get for questions, I clean up the grammar and the capitalization but in this case I left your message exactly intact because I wanted to point something out. Do you see how you have not capitalized your sentences, the titles or the "I"? I assume you do not do this in formal writing, but here writing to me your guard is down, and this suggests to me that you mentally make yourself small (or perhaps you are deliberately doing that?). This can manifest as shyness, and that, coupled with the strong Neptune together with ASC in Pisces tells me that while you may use your strong thinking and willpower to succeed, it is in the arts or counseling where your heart may lie. You may be drawn to politics to save the world, to heal others or to make the world a better place, and these are all laudable goals. Do you have the hard nosed ambition to succeed in politics? Perhaps. Sun in the 10th house conjunct Neptune makes you extremely charismatic.

I do have to say my empathic sense is telling me this is something of a trick question, or perhaps you have not recognized your own success as yet? Are you already successful in politics? Or is it that you have measured your success solely in terms of the titles you have (or have not) accumulated to date? Don't sell the "service" contributions short! You have a strongly humanitarian chart. Stay focused on service to humanity and you will succeed in ways you can't begin to imagine.

Health reading

I would like to know if my health will get better or worse, both physical and mental.

TJ


Dear TJ,

First I have to make the disclaimer that I am not a medical astrologer. I know a bit more than the average guy about medicine, but I have no medical training, so I am always careful when answering a question like this. What I can do is more of a “What are TJ’s challenges?” reading instead.

Looking at your natal chart, you actually have a lot of positive aspects that indicate you are bringing forward a lot of positive energy into this lifetime. You have Sun Trine Ascendant Trine Neptune, in water signs. You are a powerful psychic who can see into the other realms with relative ease. The challenge is you incarnated into a world and culture that doesn’t always understand you. Aquarius Moon Square the Nodes means you have an almost electrical plug in into Truth, but other people (the Nodes) don’t always want to hear what you have to say. “I told you so” could be a bit of a mantra for you! Remember that movie where Jack Nicholson says “You can’t handle the truth”? You need to remember that not everyone is ready to deal with reality. I can relate (grin).

You also have Sun Opposed Uranus and Pluto. You see the world as a volatile, dangerous place, and for good reason. You have likely encountered violence in your early life. You have learned though that fighting your troubles isn’t the most effective way to get to your goals, and as you continue down this path, not only will you heal a lot of your own challenges, but the inspiration you offer others will be powerful. In fact, the most challenging aspects for you all have a positive aspect to Neptune, which translates to you having the ability to take your greatest pain and transform that into a blessing for yourself and others. That much of this is focused in the 9th house says to me that you intended to come here to teach people how to overcome abuse.

The challenge for you is highlighted over and over again in the natal chart as frustration and anger that the world is a hostile place. Transiting Mars Opposed Uranus right now are pushing every button you’ve got, particularly with close family, siblings and those friends you see as brothers and sisters. Uranus moves slowly, and it hits one planet for you after another. The upside for Uranus is that it favors Internet communications, and I believe that the connections you make online right now may prove to be strongly healing. Mars moves out of aspect over the summer, and you may find that you come through this time with a great deal of strength as you consciously decide to channel your reactions more effectively. I highly recommend Caroline Myss book “Why People Don’t Heal”. I suffer from similar health concerns and I found it hugely helpful in dealing with them. The key to your mental and physical well being is to find ways to transform your own reactions, to learn to demand your own safe healing space and to let go of resentment towards those people who don’t understand and can’t find ways to help.

Tell me about my son

I was wondering if you could tell me about my son. I worry about him because he has chronic fatigue and can't sleep at night. Along with that I believe he has a neurological disorder. He was diagnosed with Restless Leg Syndrome and I noticed that every since he was young his head has jerked uncontrollably, like a tic. It seems that the only time it does that is if he is stressed out or feels uncomfortable. I guess they call it a nervous tic. He is very angry and I'm scared he is going to get into real bad trouble with the law.

TJ


Dear TJ,

Your son is an Aries, with Libra Rising and a Leo Moon. That’s a lot of Fire energy, together with Libra’s sensitivity to the opinions of others. His 7th House Sun is conjunct Venus, making him attractive and charming, and very aware of other people’s judgments. This is a person who may seem selfish at times, but that hides a strong need to please others. Aries also wants everything and it wants it now, and that can be challenging for a young man with such contradictory desires. Frustration will be expressed as anger by anyone with a lot of fire in their natal chart. With the challenges he faces, it’s possible frustration that he tries to hold inside is manifesting physically with RLS and the facial tic.

I’m not a medical astrologer, so I can only tell you what I see of personality and stressful metaphysical aspects that might affect health. I have noticed that he has Uranus opposed Chiron in the 3rd and 9th houses, and that can make it difficult for him to express his emotions to others. Yet that’s exactly what he needs to learn to do in order to bleed off some of the emotional energy that he’s holding onto. Barbara Hand Clow, the leading writer on the subject of Chiron, warns of the dangers of drug use to anyone with this aspect. You don’t mention this, but it’s a possibility with this aspect that you need to be looking for. There are some positive aspects to Chiron though and it’s possible that one of his peers or a girlfriend could come along and motivate him to take up drama or another verbal art form that would give him a positive outlet to express emotions that he might not otherwise feel comfortable sharing.

Right now, he has Mars transiting the 12th house, and it is Square Pluto, in the 3rd. Traditionally one interpretation of this kind of transit may be “possible trouble with legal authority”. Mars is almost exactly inconjunct his Sun, adding a charge of confusion to his heightened state of sensitivity right now. He has to make a lot of adjustments that are not all to his liking. I would strongly urge you to get him into some type of cognitive therapy, but that may only be useful if he recognizes that some of his challenges are self-generated. Unfortunately, Chiron is opposed his natal Moon at the moment and that can translate to “Doesn’t want to listen to Mother”. The best thing I know of to recommend for him would be the LifeStream class ... but ... I get the feeling he is in resistance to you right now, and about all you may be able to do is let go and let God. Therapy and what LifeStream does will not work for him until he comes to the conclusion he needs help and he's willing to do whatever it takes to get well. If thats not an option, the best thing I can suggest is get some of his friends to encourage him to take up drama or another communication-based art form.

A birthday reading for Claudia

Some people have ambivalent charts. I have one. I could be an artist, a writer, a singer, a radio talk show host, or 500 other things. There is no such ambivalence in your chart. If you had not mentioned it I would have no trouble guessing you are a healer.

You have Sun in Pisces, Moon in Sagittarius, Scorpio Rising. You are extremely sensitive and in tune psychically. The challenge is that Sagittarius Moon in the middle of all that water ... let's just say your head and heart aren't always in harmony. In fact, you sometimes feel that your head and heart are at war with one another. That's your Achilles' Heel. You need to find different areas, one for your sensitive, intuitive side, and another for the more left-brained creative side.

To make things more interesting for you, your Moon is conjunct Chiron, Sun is conjunct Mars. Chiron being that strong is the reason you have the healing gift (and yes, I would welcome any healing energy ... I am struggling with pain in my lower back). Speaking of pain, while you are gifted at healing others, how does that work for yourself? Chiron square Mars/Sun is a pretty challenging placement. If it does not manifest in health challenges for you, it may manifest in health or relationship issues between the men and women in your life (4th house Sun - "family stuff") ... I bet your family is interesting. Still, these squares can be somewhat offset by the other aspects, a nice trine from Chiron/Moon to Pluto and a sextile to sensitive Neptune ... seriously, your chart practically screams "healer". You have the potential to be quite famous for it. One avenue you may pursue is some form of group work. Neptune is in Libra in the 11th house, and that makes you a compelling speaker and teacher too.

You are in the middle of your second Saturn return, and if you feel your healing abilities are coming into full blossom, that is a good sign. This is a critical period of growth for you, emotionally, mentally, in your career and health. You may find yourself being pushed to settle into a new career, and it will almost certainly involve health, healing, or some sort of medical service. You are extremely sensitive right now though, Saturn is pushing your Chiron buttons, and this can manifest in external events in problems with the male members of your family. This can be painful, but the growth it will bring you will be invaluable.

Jupiter is about to hit natal Jupiter soon too, which is more positive and "lucky" - you may find that you are able to manifest opportunities to build wealth and make connections that will make you more prosperous.

December 2007 Forecast

This month is all about medicine, healthcare, and wellness. Expect to hear many strange and unusual stories about the healthcare industry. There will be gender-specific angles in a flurry of stories about the different ways men and women should be treated in the art of medicine, especially where it comes to geriatrics. The truth is we do have different needs, and there is a lot of work to be done in women’s medicine in particular. Funding is being diverted from women's research, and there could be some kind of scandal revealed that could result in some high-profile individuals going to court or worse. The upside of these revelations could mean a balancing (at long last) of some long-standing inequities in modern medicine.

Another scandal in the medical field may involve a large company's medical or healthcare plans. There could be some kind of security or privacy compromise. This company most likely has large telecommunications, radio or Internet holdings. They will attempt to keep this breach secret, but the truth will hit the fan between the first and second weeks of the month.

If you are feeling confused the past few months, look to where in your life your desire for freedom is at odds with your need for freedom. Saturn and Uranus are opposing right now, giving many people fits of mutually incompatible desires. Where this will manifest depends on where these two planets hang in your transit chart. There is an opportunity around the middle of the month to use this energy for your personal benefit, especially if your "confusion of choice" happens to involve romance. You may find yourself with a lot of new choices and options, if you are prepared to move quickly on the opportunities that are coming your way.

Special Holiday Advice: If you are one of those people who volunteers to do it all, then ends up feeling resentful and unappreciated, go to Hawaii this year, and let someone else take over the family chores. Or hire a caterer to handle all the picky little details. Or just have a little less of the time-intensive goodies and preparations. You'll feel torn between your desire to impress others and the very real need to have some fun yourself. You can't be a joy to others if you feel resentful – and you folks are putting yourself in the position to feel that way by your own refusal to say "NO". Lighten up. No holiday will ever be "perfect". Let it be what it is and enjoy yourself! Santa will be happy to get by with one less rum ball or two, and everyone else will be happier if they know you are having some fun too.

Where is my life going now?

Is it possible to get some sort of reading to see where my life is going now. Like everyone else had had my share of tough life but I now "feel" things are going to work out and I am receiving abundance of joy, happiness, wealth, friends and companion ... any particular Switchwords to be used?

I am not the expert in Switchwords - Begum over at the Switchwords Discussion Group knows more than me ... but I think under the circumstances "Thank you" could be a powerful switchword for you (For the readers who are not familiar with Switchwords, they are like one-word affirmations).

Widowed, and struggling on my own for a while but just feel good things are in the air..

RM


Interesting, I am a Libra with Scorpio Rising, and you are a Scorpio with Libra Rising! You have an extremely intense emotional personality, but you are often tripped up by a need to "people please". I'm a natural "people pleaser" who is often tripped up by my intensity! ...

In your case, the first area that draws my attention is your fifth house. The fifth rules creativity, children, and love affairs/romance. Fifth house romances do not necessarily lead to marriage, and one of the planets is slow-moving but chaos-bringing Uranus. You may find that your creativity is just bursting from you right now. You may be drawn into unusual situations with interesting, dynamic people who open you to new ideas and concepts, not all of whom might meet with the approval of authority figures in your circle of friends and family.

You may find many of your needs and urges confuse or upset you right now. To be blunt - loosen up a bit, and enjoy the buffets life presents you right now. Take more time for art, entertainment and pleasure. There are more than one persons who depend on you for help or healing, but you can't be fully there for them if you aren't feeling whole yourself. I was just playing a video game in which four characters are on a quest. Each one has its own strengths and weaknesses. What I found interesting is that when the healer got sick or didn't get her share of the healing potions, everyone suffered. I think there is a lesson in that for you.

As to where your life is going ... your chart indicates that you are heading for a sort of second "teenage-hood", where you get to sow some wild oats and connect with your creativity in new and interesting ways. The challenge is your friends and loved ones seem to be a little old fashioned. Don't let the judgements and expectations of others keep you from what will be an extremely rewarding if not always stable and secure time of your life. There does appear to be the potential for romance this year. You'll be drawn to people who are outside the norm of your social experience, or to short-term "whirlwind" romances. It's possible you could meet someone on the Internet or through some kind of unusual form of communication.

If you are looking for a creative outlet, there are several indications that studying writing or music, or some form of healing or metaphysics could be rewarding and transformative pass-times for you. Your Progressed chart does show a strong connection to spiritual healing or some kind of service-oriented profession. You may be privy to some sort of secret or hidden knowledge or training. There could be money in this direction, the challenge will involve getting past your own self-doubt and fear to make your dreams into reality.

Justin, Britney and Jessica

With the caveat that all this is dependent on whether or not the birth data is accurate ... and that this analysis is for fun and information only ...

I can see why Britney is going through so much right now. She's got strong Pluto contacts in her chart, messing with her natal Neptune which natally squares Mars. Translation from the Astrologese: Mars Square Neptune equals drug abuse. In her case, potentially fatal drug abuse or serious jail time (12th house Mars), if she does not find some way to reconnect with a spiritual or creative outlet. I hate to say it but right now the creative isn't working for her all that well, and fame isn't helping matters. Her only hope is a profound spiritual experience, a rock-bottom "near death" experience might be the life-saving experience she needs to wake her up. Losing custody of her kids hasn't seemed to make a profound impact, the possible loss of loved ones in other areas is featured in her transits right now. There could be a death in her family, and with what is known I truly fear for her own well-being, frankly.

Do Britney and Justin have a karmic connection? Yes, absolutely. Just because two people have a karmic connection does not mean they are "meant" to be together, or are even good together, though. Her Moon and his Sun are exactly conjunct, a strong sign of shared past lives. She feels like he thinks, and vice versa. Their Suns are sextile. They are natural friends who can talk all night long. Their creative interests are in harmony. But yikes, their combined chart is not harmonious for romance! They have a pile of planets in the fifth house, good for lovers, not so good for marriage partners. But those planets make hard aspects to the second house - an indication of arguments over money, finances and values. Venus and Mars ("she and he") make no aspects. No lasting mojo. And Moon Squares Saturn ... massive insecurity complex. These two would be competing with one another. I don't follow either of their careers, I only see what I see on CNN as it flashes by or hits me when I watch Larry King, but right now his transits show someone who is disillusioned with or burned out by his daily routine, someone undergoing a lot of emotional and mental changes, which may be painful but are part of "growing up". Britney seems determined to run away from responsibility right now. That doesn't bode well for a rekindled romance.

I know absolutely nothing about Jessica Claire Biel. And we don't have her birth time. The best I can do is a combined chart for her and Justin. It has a lovely grand trine with Moon, Uranus and North Node (translation - high profile partnership, highly creative, unusual with lots of twists, turns and surprises, most of them positive). They have escapist tendencies. No Mars-Venus connection here though, and Mars does hit Neptune, so this isn't the best match, either. Will they break up soon? Hard to say, but Justin isn't the best bet for settling down with anyone right now. Uranus is transiting his 7th house of committed relationships. It moves slowly and has a long-term effect. Forcing himself to "settle down" would be a big mistake for this young man right now, even though he may be pushed in that direction by the women in his life (Uranus opposes Venus at the moment). That Uranus-Venus opposition hits Jessica's Sun. Since I don't have a time, I can't tell if this will center around relationships, but it will have a transformative influence on her personality, especially how she sees herself as a woman.

You do have to keep in mind no astrological chart can tell you for sure exactly what choices a person can make. All three people have challenging aspects - and I have seen people overcome far worse. As an astrologer who has not been consulted directly by any of the parties, I can only say so much. I see that all of these folks live in a highly-charged world that the best of us would have a hard time understanding. To put it bluntly, they are not living in the real world, but who can blame them? I would not be so bold as to tell Mr. Timberlake what to do. But if he wants a real shot at transformation and growth, with a few challenging side-trips into painful territory, he'll stay with Jessica. If he decides he wants a really exciting wild ride filled with drug abuse, jealous rages, competition and dysfunction, he'll go back to Britney. Of course there is the possibility of neither, or of his finding someone new. Anything is possible.

Astrology Overview January 2007

We have a highly emotional Full Moon early this month, which in some ways sets the tone for the New Year. Expect a lot of news about housing, real estate, and family issues. While there have been a lot of challenges the past year, this could be an opportune time to look into buying or selling homes and properties. Unexpected changes in housing conditions could bring lucky breaks for those who are prepared to move quickly. There may be secret governmental plans underway that will come to light to bring tax or financial breaks to home owners and investors.

There may be a breakthrough in the global war against terrorism, some form of structural revision that brings hope and new energy to those with loved ones in the military. It’s not like global peace is necessarily breaking out all over the place (though one could hope for that), but there are some positive signs.

This could be an excellent month for a psychic reading with the Angel Ladies, for taking self-improvement classes, attending enlightening seminars, or for starting a new self-improvement program. The key is to accept your emotional state, which may be botth confusing and exciting. Every now and then stop whatever you are doing, take a deep breath, and ask yourself "How am I feeling right now?" You may be surprised at the emotions that come up. You may find unique and innovative ways of expressing yourself if you spend some extra time to write down and examine those feelings and any intuitive insights you receive right now.

This is an incredibly potent time for psychics and intuitive consultants. Expect to hear wild and outrageous stories, some of which may have a stronger basis in truth than you might expect. We will be hearing increasing numbers stories of alien contact, UFO sightings, out of body experiences and ghost stories. If you normally get unusual insights, and have been waiting for a breakthrough, pay special attention to your intuition right now. Much of what you get may seem wild or out of the ordinary at first, but if you are patient you will be able to mine considerable value out of your unusual dreams, insights and visions. Spiritually inclined people will be forming important groups and alliances this month.

The middle to the end of the month, the energies start to get incredibly intense in the sign of Aquarius. The Moon, Mercury, Chiron, Neptune and Venus line up near the New Moon. The next day, the Sun enters Aquarius. Air signs (Libra, Gemini, Aquarius) will generally benefit from this cosmic traffic jam, but Taurus, Leo and Scorpio Sun Signs may find it challenging. Aries and Sagittarius will benefit from unusual opportunities and insights around the 19th or 20th of January. All signs will find themselves somewhat overloaded with mental stimulation. Expect to hear news of incredible new technological breakthroughs, particularly those relating to new or alternative healing, healthcare, medicines, music and the arts.

Followup for Josephine

Thank you for remembering my forecast request. However I do have a question and hopefully a simple answer.

My property has been on the market now for 2 years and no sale! ... very frustrating!

Any thoughts as to when I will have a potential sale and the freedom to travel?

Also, you mentioned in your forecast 'A major relationship is about to hit a serious milestone, and while the indications are largely positive, it may mean you have to restructure your life in some way.' Good call Brandi, as I have recently ended a 10 year relationship.

Many thanks

Josephine


Thanks for the feedback!

I can see why you are frustrated. Uranus is transiting in the fourth house of your chart. That indicates upsets, sudden and dramatic changes in the home, family, and in real estate investments. Uranus is also square Venus. My advice is to find someone to help you put in a few bucks spiffing up the place to appeal to a "modern woman" (Uranus/Venus) mentality ... but don't do this yourself. Find a decorator or advisor (get a male, or someone older or younger, not a female of your own generation). The property already carries some of these features, and you may have an awesome sense of style, but something is at odds with the prevailing trends at the moment, something you cannot see, and my wager is that is having a big impact on the appeal of the property. I figure if you do something like this, you may not only sell it sooner, but you may get more money in the end. At the very least, research on the Internet to find tips for brightening up your house before a sale. It does not have to cost a fortune, little things like fresh flowers on a counter can make a huge difference. Remember me if you get a big windfall! ... I have always wanted to visit your country, heh heh.

Uranus is in your 4th house for at least another year, possibly longer. You are not going to feel settled or secure for quite some time, but part of me suspects you like it that way. Together with transiting Saturn in the 9th house, this makes for powerful, earthshaking changes in your life. The urge to travel makes total sense of the overall picture. Saturn is a challenging planet, but it makes some positive contacts in your natal chart right now. You are obsessed with learning, with knowledge, and expanding your boundaries. This may bring challenges for you financially. Your natal chart says money and personal value are early childhood wounds to your psyche. This is nothing less than your quest for self worth. I don't think I have to advise you what to do - you are already letting go of the old to make way for the new.
