anita,

You have transiting (planets in the sky) Pluto (transformation, also power) conjuncting (energy is combined with) your Nadir (inner world), indicating that you are going through some very deep inner transformation as you decide what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of in your inner life. You also have transiting Uranus (friends, also restructuring) conjuncting your Descendant (others), indicating you are restructuring your relationships with others and may be wanting more of a "friend" in relationships at this time. You also transiting Saturn (duty, also career) squaring (energy needs to be combined with) Saturn, indicating that you are working on getting your career energy together in some way.

As you go through the Pluto and Uranus process, your career issues will become clearer as YOU become clearer...and you will better know what to do about your career discontent. In the meantime, think about what you would LIKE to do...no matter how possible or impossible it seems. One challenge to understanding what you want to do is your stellium (collection of energy) conjunct your South node (the past) focused in the 1rst house (being, also action), indicating that you tend to focus on actions you can personally take...but that this tends to hold you back in life. Instead, think your North node (future goals) focused in the 7th house (relationships) and think about how your relationships with others can help you grow and develop your sense of purpose and direction in life.

In site ing,

Tim

Hi Tim,
Thanks so much, it is very enlightening.. and it helps to clarify the obstacles and challenges i have been having lately. I am a little worried as to the placement of my stellium to the North and South nodes and their relationship to the houses and stellium in my chart:

One challenge to understanding what you want to do is your stellium (collection of energy) conjunct your South node (the past) focused in the 1rst house (being, also action), indicating that you tend to focus on actions you can personally take...but that this tends to hold you back in life. Instead, think your North node (future goals) focused in the 7th house (relationships) and think about how your relationships with others can help you grow and develop your sense of purpose and direction in life.

Could you tell me more about the significance of this? and if there are other significant placements you see in my chart. Thanks again, i really appreciate your insight and generosity.

Anita,

You asked:
I am a little worried as to the placement of my stellium to the North and South nodes and their relationship to the houses and stellium in my chart:

One challenge to understanding what you want to do is your stellium (collection of energy) conjunct your South node (the past) focused in the 1rst house (being, also action), indicating that you tend to focus on actions you can personally take...but that this tends to hold you back in life. Instead, think your North node (future goals) focused in the 7th house (relationships) and think about how your relationships with others can help you grow and develop your sense of purpose and direction in life.


Could you tell me more about the significance of this? and if there are other significant placements you see in my chart.

I have found that having an awareness of where the North node in our chart can give our lives a sense of direction. For you, that direction is with making relationships with those around you. Since so MUCH energy is concentrated on you alone, this is a large challenge. In addition, you have a kite aspect focusing on your "you-focused" energy (stellium in the 1rst house). To overcome this "you-focus" it might help to look for an aspect pattern made between the nodes that can act as a "gateway" to from one node (the South) to the other node (the North).

Fortunately, you have a T-square aspect between your nodes focused on your Mars (being, also action) conjunct (energy is combined with) Moon (home, also emotions) conjunct Nadir (inner world). This indicates by actively getting in touch with your inner emotions can be a way to move from a self focus to a focus on others (relationships). HOW this works is for you to discover. Mostly likely the Pluto transit I previously mentioned has stirred up all sorts of "inner feelings" that are making this nodal movement possible.

Other challenges are you have a least aspected (strong energy) Sun (self-expression) and an unaspected Saturn (duty). The result is you do not "connect in" with your sense of personal self-expression or your sense of being "dutiful". As a result you may OVERexpress or OVER"dutify" as a way to feel connected with these energies. Instead, consider accepting that these energies ARE there in you...even if you don't notice them. Notice how people REACT to your self-expression and duty in order to get a sense of how they work, and have faith that you are expressing yourself and doing your duty. Since "duty" energy is also a "career" energy, this needing to have faith also has to do with your career goals as well.
