Am I the only one who determined the querent is Taurus in 7th House? I decided to stay with that because probably he didn’t ask you this question as his dad but as “his astrologer.” But if I’m wrong I’m sure you’ll let me know so we can all learn from this.
So, right away we see the querent’s significator Venus is marooned in the 11th House of hopes and dreams all by herself without any aspects to any other planets or points. Which might mean that he querent has no agency in this scenario.
The 9th House of higher education is what this question is about, and its sign Aquarius is intercepted with the ruler of it, Saturn, trapped in it. According to Ivy Goldstein-Jacobson, a planet in an intercepted sign is an intercepted planet and “means interference and something or someone hemmed-in.”
Meanwhile, the intercepted 3rd house of communication ruler, the Sun, squares this Saturn, AND, even though it doesn’t show this aspect, makes a quincunx with the Moon. This 150 degree aspect means, according to Astrostyle, “parts of your life and nature just don’t add up.”
The only other aspect this cosignificator makes is with the trapped Saturn… And I don’t see the Moon make another aspect before leaving Libra, except a quincunx with Jupiter at 0 degrees but not sure this counts, but even if it did, it’s bad. Jupiter, 10th house ruler AND 8th house ruler, at zero degrees means, again quoting IGJ, “he’s at the end of his rope.”
Which leads me to wonder, is there something else the querent would rather do than go to medical school? But somehow maybe he thinks he can’t, because of something related to the 8th, the house of debts, wills, gifts from others, transformation, as well as the personal unconscious? (Anthony Louis)
I also wondered (when I still hadn’t realized that you are the querent’s dad, so now this is awkward, sorry about that) if applying to medical school is something the father encouraged him to do. We see Mercury in the querent’s first house making a sextile to Jupiter. (That’s the only aspect Mercury makes. Astro-Dienst is nuts, there is no way the orb of Mercury would touch Saturn.) Mercury rules both the second house (resources, values) and the fourth (the father).
Mercury also, by the way, occupies the critical 4th degree in a mutable sign (Gemini). The meaning of this I don’t know. And Venus is also at a critical degree, the 13th, in a cardinal sign (Aries).
So, lots of new questions raised, but the answer about medical school seems to me to be no.
