Hi friends,
I'm pretty much a novice to astrology but at the start of the pandemic last year I took the dive to learn more about myself and my chart. I was immediately struck by how lopsided it looked.
I'd really like someone else to take a look at my chart and let me know what their impression is. I don't know anyone else really that will entertain the idea of astrology, although I have always found it to be pretty accurate. Scary accurate in the case of my own natal chart.
Even if you could just let me know what stands out, that would be incredible - I don't yet trust my own amateur analysis!
Hi! First of all, a lop-sided chart is far from unusual. Many people have planets bunched together.
With your South Node past life symbol conjunct Sun in Pisces, 8th house, I'd say that this lifetime is about your exploring your self-identity - developing yourself, the role you want to play, the personal goals you want to set, ect. You tend to be someone who wants to be helpful to others and you are moving forward now to being more self-oriented.
Leo rising is all about gaining confidence, being recognized, applauded, seen and heard. If you lack confidence, this Leo rising will be a good friend to you - as you will seek relationships in order to be affirmed.
If you are emotionally insecure or too close to your family - have had a family that encourages dependence or are enmeshed - then the Leo rising can be a hindrance - if you seek affirmation and recognition within the family but not socially. I'm really not sure that this is how you are doing the Scorpio IC with Chiron - but it is a possibility.
You do have an Aries Moon and Saturn in the 9th - which is very independent and you probably love to learn and grow and maybe you have dreams of travel. Maybe you want to go into law there in order to fight for underdogs or people who need help. I think you will do some career where you are of service to others.
The Pisces Sun, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter in the 7th and 8th are definitely either creative and/or spiritually-oriented. You probably like psychology, philosophy, metaphysical subjects. You will like to explore and investigate your internal world - and transform yourself. No doubt you will do that.
You are prone to being very aware and sensitive to how you impact others - it's a very relational-type chart. I think the challenge really is to put enough attention upon yourself and your self-development - to widen your spheres of influence - to make sure you have good boundaries with your family and friends. You aren't responsible for other people's feelings - only your own - and you don't want people to manipulate out of a sense of guilt - which you could have. You have to stand up to guilt. You might feel it if you say NO when you really want to - but it does go away after you do it enough.
