Trying to exercise my(low)horary skills with something that really worries me right now.
First,let me try to explain how the Education system works here in Portugal.I don’t know if it’s the same all around the world but,just in case:here in Portugal,when you reach the age of15,you have to chose a are to continue your studies in.There are lots of area,and they all include Philosophy,English,Portuguese,Maths ,PE and two other subjects which are specific of the are you chose(ie,if you chose the Languages area,you have History,if you chose the arts area,study History of Art,etc).When the time came for me to make a decision,I already knew that I would really like to be a Psychologhist but I didn’t know which area I needed to chose in order to become one.I love History and anything which involves writing,so I was inclined to chose the Languages area,which has to do with journalism,philopshy and anything which involves History.So,I went to the school’s Pshychologist,who told me I needed to go to the Scientific area(related to health care,computers and engineering)if I wanted to be a pshychologist because Pshychology requires certain knowledgments of Biology.That’s what I did:I choosed the Scientific area and I’m currently studying Chimestry&Physichs,Biology&Geology.
Here’s the problem:I don’t need to study Chimestry&Physichs in order to become a pshychologist.So,I decided to cancel that subject.My mom agreed with the decision.But,yesterday,the school called me and my mom to have a reunion with a teacher,who tried to convince me to continue studying Chimestry&Physichs.Now,here’s the real problem:during that conversation,I discovered that,to become a Psychologhist,I could have also choosed the Languages area!Basicly,the school’s Pshychologist gave me wrong advice,and I’m serisouly considering switching areas.
The thing is,switching areas would be something like quitting school for this year.The school year is almost finished,I can’t simply switch areas now;I would have to go home and return school next September.Also,it would imply major money loss for my parents,as they’ve already purchased my school books for this year and there’s no way I could have the money back.They told me they’re alright with it,and they’re being very supportive,but I would feel extremely guilty for doing that.I’m telling you,this whole idea of quitting school for this year terrifies me:I don’t want to sound full of myself but I’ve been a good student so far,I’m not comfortable with the idea of losing a year of my life.So,I asked the question:should I switch areas?
I tried to be as clear as I could,but I had a hard time trying to explain all this;if you need more information,just ask.I will try to upload the chart but I’m not sure if it’ll work,so the question was asked March28,at5h10PM,in Tires,Portugal.
The rising is early(4º54’Virgo-I only found out about all this yesterday so it makes sense),but not too early to judge.So,I’m signified by Mercury,which is in very bad shape(in detriment and opposing the Ascendant),whoich means my head is a mess right now.I’m not sure about this but I understand the9th house is associated with organized learning,so I will assign the quesited to the9th.The ruler of the9th isMars,which is at23º20’Aquarius and in the6th.Taurus is intercepted in the9th,and I have to say I don’t feel very comfortable having a intercepted sign in the house of the quesited..There’s absolutely no aspect between Mercury and Mars,which answers my answer with a’No’.But...my significator sextiles the intercepted ruler of the9th..and I have no idea about what this means…
Now,the Moon.It is at12º02’Leo and in the12th.The next aspect of the Moon is a square to Venus.I have the feeling this shows opposition coming from that teacher I was talking about.She has a very important position in my school(the dignified Venus might show a woman of power).When I mentioned the subject,I could tell she didn’t like the idea of me switching areas.So far,I’ve had a regular school path, I’m started zig-zaging,it’s obvious my teachers are not very happy with all this mess.As if this wasn’t enough,the Moon is also moving to conjunct Saturn,the greater malefic,which happens to be in very bad shape too!Also,I noticed the Midheaven is at the fate degree.being the midheaven related to career,I guess this could mean I still don’t have a clear idea about my career path and a lot of thing can change.
My overall opinion:I would really like to make the change(my significator sextile the intercepted ruler of the9th),but there will be opposition coming from powerful people who will make me second-guess myself again,and again,and again…
Anyway,I’m just a beginner with all this.I would really like to know the opinion of more experienced people!
Thanks in advance!
Take care
