Hi acmicasa,
Since this is a Vedic forum, this will be from Jyotish perspective:
You have Moon Ketu conjunction in Ascendant. Such people really live in a private inner world of their own. They feel like everyone seems to be moving away from them.
When it comes to writing, Venus Mercury conjunctions are good, especially since its in a friendly sign of Saturn and Saturn aspects it giving it plenty of discipline but Mercury itself is very combust, this can show that you lose perspective or tend not to see how others see the same matter. This is hard to grasp for combust Mercury people because its so shadowed by the Sun's (ego's) bright light.
You have domicile Mars and Saturn 2nd not only from Asc but also from Moon. You are courageous and will be able to fend for yourself, support yourself.
I have noticed that whenever the Lord of a house is involved with the nodes(either end), that house matter suffers in the sense that they fail to manifest in the traditionally accepted way. After a lot of sacrifices made we learn to look at/understand the needs of that house in a sort of inside out way. In your case Moon which is with Ketu rules 10th house. Since it is in Lagna, career and reputation take forefront stage in your life. But since Ketu is involved , it may not give you the traditional things out of career like money and fame especially if your ego is invested in it.
Find out how you can serve the greater collective, with your writings, may be a voice for those unheard. I am just giving an example of the top of my head. Karma for Karma's sake, not for the fruit is what Ketu is asking.
With your 5th L and 7th L together in 2nd, you have the potential to be involved in creative partnerships which help you sustain your life aka 'earn'.
PS: You seem to be a pretty ruthless person for god or bad, so dunno about that dolphin pic
