Im in search of a little direction,

Iv come to a point in my life where difficulties from my past are resurfacing..

I was sexually and mentally abused from the age of 12, I was alone fighting a loosing battle. I was taken out of school and ‘home educated’ up until I left home at the age of 16, moving three hundred miles away, went to art college and made a home with my boyfriend three years later I moved fifty miles away to start university. The boyfriend moved to Greece with his best friend for a few months before realising ‘the biggest mistake of his life’ his words not mine, was leaving me. We stayed together for the three years of my degree, it was turbulent at times, but what relationship isn’t? months before my graduation he moved home six thousand miles away, he never said he was leaving me, just waiting for me somewhere he would be happier. 6 months later I found out he was in a new relationship.

During the three years at college my mother was on housing benefit to cover my rent, during my three years at university she was fighting a court case, having received the money ‘fraudulently’. Just before my graduation she was sentenced, to a two year suspended sentence (wavered from an actual prison sentence due to mental health worries) and community hours.

She aged quickly and the court case had huge negative physical and mental effects, I fear she is in the early stages of alzheimer's, she is penny less, only working volunteering to help people with disabilities. She barely affords to live.

I would have graduated this time last year in a few months, as with the economic situation I have found it near impossible to find and maintain work. I gave up my room just after graduating and stayed on friends couches. I spent my savings on surviving and am now on job seekers allowance of £50 per week. I am homeless and unemployed and although I have asked and looked for help at many different places, I am in a catch 22 situation no one want to employ me before I have a house and I cant afford a house with out work. I am tired of being given the run around and bitten the bullet that only I can help my self, well I am lucky enough to have made a new relationship with an amazing man, who lets me stay with him free of charge, he really is a silver lining to my big grey cloud. Even though he has no idea how life saving he is to me.

In the last few weeks my mother has been threatened with loosing her home, I don’t think she has the strength or will to fight such a huge battle for a second time.

She never dealt well with the abuse I received as a child, she almost wanted to act as though nothing had happened, except the occasional request that I saw a councillor, which after my first bout of counselling aged 13 I realised was pointless when my councillors eight year old child died. We don’t really talk about it, and I feel some kind of resentment towards her that she didn’t protect me. She knew this and almost pressurised me to forgive her, I now feel a responsibility for the fact she was helping me escape my demons by giving me her benefits allowing me to move away and along with my life. I feel a responsibility that she got sentenced. But she’s my mum and the only one ill get and I love her, its just hard sometimes, my emotions/thoughts/feelings get so confused.

I stuck by her through out all the court proceedings and I feel physically mentally and emotionally drained by it all, even now.

And now seven months into my current relationship and I am starting to feel uneased. With the prospect of my mother also being made homeless. I am struggling to cope, yet again.

I have turned to astrology in the past and it has been a huge help, just even to hear someone understand.

I don’t really know what I am asking for, an interpretation perhaps, am I dealing with things properly or am I just infact making life hard, for myself? I feel lost and alone and completely directionless, I want to help my mother but am struggling with my own life, I want to be a good girlfriend but cant help but drift off into my thoughts and isolate myself.

I want to be able to talk about my past with my current boyfriend but am terrified he wont know how to handle it, or realise I come with to many issues. Will he be around much longer? Can I trust him?

Please help, in anyway you can.

DL, you have transiting Neptune opposing your sun just now. This transit can make you feel drained of energy--and also like your identity (sun) is disappearing. Then transiting Pluto is conjuncting your natal Neptune. So you are being asked to think through how you relate to Neptune's energies just now.

At its best Neptune engenders creativity and the kind of fantasy life that enables the fine arts. Think of how a good fiction writer creates a world, and then draws the reader into it, often revealing fundamental truths through the medium of fiction. A healthy Neptune also supports a healthy spirituality. We realize that we are a small part of a vast creative mind that is bigger than ourselves.

At its worst, Neptune gives a bitter disillusionment following beautiful illusions. Something that we thought was real turns out to be false. Instead of a personal relationship with the divine, we turn to escapism.

So this is a time in your life to come to terms with this dimension of human nature.

I agree with waybread, especially about transiting Pluto conjunct Neptune. I think this is a particularly difficult transit for those born in 1988. DL, I hope things improve for you soon.

T Neptune opp Sun
You are probably feeling lethargic and lacking in vitality. If you are normally a driven individual, this may feel like a time during which it seems like your will or determination is being tested on some matter or project. You may be plagued with self doubts and lack of confidence in your ability to make the goals you set for yourself.
http://www.astrology-x-files.com/transits/neptune-op-sun.html

You may feel at times that there is just no point in continuing because the original purpose has been lost somehow. You may inadvertently generate opposition to your plans because you have not been clear enough about your intentions. This tends to be a more favorable time for artists and musicians. Confrontations with supervisors can leave you feeling inadequate and demoralized.

T Pluto onto natal neptune is a 'generational matter' and I found it relates more to religious and spiritual reassessments. When I went through it, I read the bible from cover to cover for the first time, even had discussions with a local vicar....

You have calculated your chart using the default on astro.com of placidus and I use Equal House system and am a modern astrologer. Lots of people that come into Astrology get their free charts calculated at www.astro.com (http://www.astro.com/) and the default ‘house system’ used is Placidus and think that’s just the norm and all that there is……..BUT that is just the tip of the iceberg. You can change the default on astro.com in Extended Chart selection to Equal house and a few more.

Throughout the forums but mainly in natal astrology there are two main branches Placidus (unequal size houses) v Equal House (whereby each house is same size) but lots more……. For more information on these go here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_(astrology)#Description (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_(astrology)#Description)

http://www.skyviewzone.com/birthinfoforms2/housesexplained.htm (http://www.skyviewzone.com/birthinfoforms2/housesexplained.htm)

It's only with study and research will you be able to assess where your planets are deposited and in which houses... thus see which 'glove fits'

So,Pluto would be 11th, mercury conjunct 10th house cusp, mars in 4th and sun in 9th


If Saturn and Uranus fall in the same sign or house we get caught in a cleft stick, wanting to make changes but fearing to let go of the old.

Basic astrology
Now basically your sun sign is your 'core beliefs, values, ego' and Asc is your physical body, mode of expression and mask and persona that we all wear and hide behind, but definitely not what's going on underneath. What's going on underneath is your Sun sign. Moon sign, house placements and aspects describe your emotional and intuitive responses, also describes your view of your mother, as saturn describes your father by sign and house position.

So, think of a glass milk bottle the bottle is your Asc and your sun the milk, but the milk still has to 'come out' through the glass neck of the milk bottle....

Now aspects within a natal chart represent 'facets' of our personality, because we are all multifaceted beings. What these do is 'break down and compartmentalise' these facets into smaller bite size chunks. This does take quite a lot of self analysis and objectivity to 'see yourself' and why you do certain things and behave in certain ways. Actually it can be quite good therapy...

Remember back to your school days an opposition is 180', square 90', trine 120', and sextile 60' Now challenged aspects are conj (depending on the planets, cos some like each other and some really don't) squares and oppositions. Easy aspects are conj (if the planets get along) eg: Jupiter conj Moon, sextile and trine. Quincunx is inbetween (depending on the planets) causes health strains and unresolved or hard to balance planets/energies.

Your chart ruler Jupiter placed in 6th house is also a singleton
Singleton planets
“If a planet happens to be the only one in an element, quality, or house type, that planet is a Singleton and it can funnel all of the “energy” of the horoscope. This planet is often the most important one in the horoscope. In other words, if you just interpret the position of this one planet by sign, house, and aspect, you will get to the “heart of the horoscope”. The effect is the same as if that planet were the only one on one side of the chart.”

(There is a book out by Shirley Lyons Meier, "Elemental Voids, More than Meets the Eye", which gives a good discussion of missing elements.) The Inferior Function can be a source of great motivation and creative expression.

Saturn conj Asc will knock your confidence, then unruly Uranus will occasionally act in disruptive methods to get attention

Mars Quincunx (Inconjunct) Pluto

You suffer by having a picture of just what needs to be done and how it is to be accomplished. This can cause you to be controlling and argumentative. When you feel the weight of the responsibilities that you have taken on or when you feel lonely and isolated, then, you are ripe for personal growth. Your desire, manner of expression, and the way you use energy will have to be changed - to be less compulsive, less forceful, so you are able to achieve greater accomplishment and more personal happiness.
