[QUOTE="Osamenor, post: 582319, member: 46370"] Taking all of these quotes together, you've spelled out something else: this is a perfect description of inwardly directed ADD. I have it too, and I'm feeling that shiver of recognition that comes when I meet one of my tribe! I have a very different birth chart from you, but I also have Venus and Jupiter retrograde, and lots of indicators of impulsivity that aren't fully expressed because something else checks them... so maybe there's some common birth chart indicators, too! Whether you've ever been diagnosed or not, you meet the criteria. And if you don't care to think of yourself as having a mental disorder, well, ADD is really a certain type of brain functioning that society doesn't accommodate very well, so it gets labeled an "illness," just like homosexuality used to be. I prefer Thom Hartmann's description of us as hunters in a farmers' world myself. Those of us with ADD can only work a certain way (which way that is varies from person to person, but it's never well accommodated in the standard workplace), and no matter how interesting a project seems, if the minute to minute work of doing it isn't ADD friendly, we can't do it. I just saw you describe that, too! Your chart indicates that you have lots of potential to be a change agent, indeed, that you need to become one in the long run. That is also a perfect description of the hunter in a farmers' world. [/QUOTE]
