Music Career

[TaurusNinja]

Hi, sorry that i'm new, but I need your interpitation on this. It's really important. I currently work at a grocery store and I'm pushing for and pursuing a career in Singing, Songwriting, and Guitar. My style and genre of music will be either Heavy Metal, Hard Rock, or Goth Metal. this is something that I've been wanting to do a few years ago, and i want to go for it. I knoow the biz is thouogh and everything, but music's been my passion since I was 7 or 8, and in my case my only sanity I have left in my life that I can use in order for me to be happy, positive and feel powerful. Will I be successful?? and if so, what talent would I mostly be good at according to my chart? and what tips and advice do you have for me to become a sucessful recording artist? because while I like to play and start practicing on the six-stringer(which I'm getting next year as soon as possible, I'm currently saving up for a laptop pc right now), I would rather songwrite my own music and most importantly, sing!

Ohh and also, since my natal pluto's in libra at my 12th, what lyrics do you predict i would be writing and what suggestions regarding this area of my chart doo you have that can help my songs be catchy and have the 'hook' needed to get people to listen and take me seriously?


thanks

Yes go for it. The Sun in Taurus shows your creative potential it is conjunct Mercury in 7th, close relationships, partners in song writing perhaps. The Sun Trines your 10th house Saturn in Virgo. You will have an easy supply of perseverance and hard work to help you succeed. Moon trine Uranus gives you your innovative quality you can bring something new to the public, and the Moon placed in Aries 5th brings in the creative side as well.

That's excellent! I could've had those three as Capircorns, and maybe I could've also had more than enough cardinality to get rolling and start right away, but the virgos would also be of help too, so I'll take that. How will this effect how good my singing will be? Because I want my singing to equally be timeless and impactful. My neptune's in Saggitarius, I allways have had the tedency to dream adventurously and aim very high in a fun and free way and that could mean that most of my singing and maybe the speed of my songs would be fast and somehow very frentic. What do you think?, and what advice can you give me on how it can be done?? I want to know.


Venus in the 8th Gemini at a critical degree is square to your Moon in Aries 5th. It is a disassociate square but can cause some creative conflict and could certainly represent your darker music, writing style perhaps. Here is the some of the description of your 5th to 8th house square by Howard Sasportas.

Personal creativity (5th) is associated with emotional tension and frustration (8th) on the positive side periods of psychological renewal and cleansing (8th) free the life force to express itself more purely. Creative expression (5th) may be a way of clearing something out of the system. Destructive excesses (8th) may be glamorised (5th).

It looks like you are using your square positively through creative expression. Venus in 8th also opposes Neptune, so the dark creativity is there in bucket fulls :D . You can tap quite easily into your creative side. Saturn in Virgo 10th shows the hard work, making your dreams concrete with it's square to Neptune. I looked up where your part of fortune is, and it is in the 11th.

My P.O.F.!, yeah I've noticed! :) Apparently, that would tell me that without friends, I would be sure to fail... I allmost had 0 friends all my life since my upbringing from birth all the way to high school(I was either born borderline Autistic or had speech and motor skills problems, ...or so my mom, sis, and bro claim I am! I think that my rising sign and/or past karma had something to do with it...i'm not sure) and had no girlfriends either, allmost unltil now, and that made me lonely and ultimately killed my self-esteem. In the past, people and a good few members of my mom's side of my family had mistreated and misunderstood me all my life with their labeling, namecalling, teasing, and some occaisions, verbal and phsical abuse. This along with so many other issues in my life I want to address and conquer head on is why I want to do this. Music's my sanity and all that I allmost have left for my life to be very worthwhile and to feel good about me and be powerful.


Here is a nice chart I made for you. Although it is probably not the type of Guitar you like. But it shows your musical nature. I had better do some housework now before my boyfriend comes home, he will think I have been sitting on the computer all day, which I have :D (but we don't want him to know that ;) )

Thank you! that was very artistic of you on that chart. Allthough the guitar you drew was not indeed the one I'm gonna use primarly(I'm getting an electric one). But that's my fault, becuase I didnt have a chance to show you the pic of the one i'm getting. If you could modify it with the electric one, v-shaped or otherwise and send it to me by PM or post it here(if you dont mind, I hope!), I will greatfully apreciate it. :)

It's a B.C. Rich WMD Warbeast, with tremblo, magnetic pickups and bridge, and onynx black paint with red line stripes all around. Do you think this will fit the theme and meaning of my chart very well?

I don't know if I can answer your questions, but I'd like to point out your natal yod configuration, which consists of your twelfth house Pluto in Libra sextile your second house Neptune, both quincunx your seventh house Taurus sun.

Yods can be a source of frustration but also of great creativity, for the organism must constantly find a way to integrate very different energies. Yours is particularly potent because its focal point, or apex, is the Sun--the planet of ego, identity, sense of self, creativity, etc.

In fact, this yod may be considered to be a boomerang due to the Sun's opposition with your first house Uranus in Scorpio. I'm really digging this, actually--outer planets in action, all focused upon your Sun!

As Shining Ray mentioned, you've also got a Leo North Node conjunct your Midheaven; I cannot make any guarantees, but this seems to describe some kind of creative destiny in the limelight.

Jupiter rules your fifth house of creativity, and it is also located in the tenth house--albeit in Virgo, the sign of its detriment. I'd also look at its conjunction with Mars, which the main site describes as thus (Mars conjunct Jupiter (http://www.astrologyweekly.com/astrological-aspects/mars-conjunct-jupiter.php)):

Astrology aspects - Mars conjunct Jupiter
With the conjunction of Mars and Jupiter, you have an abundance of energy and enthusiasm to take on tasks that would frighten all but the most courageous. In order to get what you want, you assert yourself fearlessly, even in the face of danger. You have a rather reckless faith in your ability to tempt fate and take chances, never doubting that you will succeed. What you lack in finesse you make up for in arrogance. You rise to a challenge at the slightest provocation, and your competitors have cause for alarm when you oppose them. You enjoy direct confrontation with your adversaries, and you revel in the accompanying glory and publicity. Fascinated by the entries found in the Guinness Book of Records, you would be pleased to find your name listed under some accomplishment there.

With your flair for the dramatic, you don't do anything in moderation. Not content to simply win over a competitor, you punctuate the victory with some kind of ritualistic, publicity-seeking display. You know how to achieve recognition by drawing the public's attention to your talents.

There are many ways you can use this very forceful, dynamic aspects. You have an exciting combination of physical stamina and intellectual resources. Because you don't believe in failure, your chances for success are improved. If you express your creative abilities physically, you will apply your intellecutal skill and common sense to obtain the best results from your efforts. Should you follow a more intellectually demanding life pursuit, it will be characterized by an incredible degree of physical endurance and competitiveness. Such fields as sports, exploration, law, government, acting, composing, or writing would provide you with vast opportunities to display your talents and demonstrate what you can do.

Your most persistent liability is your lack of moderation, which can cause physical exhasution. Your driving ambition to rise above the challenges you set your yourself can cause deterioration of your physical resources. It is essential that you take periodic rest or vacations from the constant abrasion of close competition.

Best of luck to you! :)
