Yeah, I'm being too simplistic about it. Thanks for the feedback....I'm still working out the meanings, and theories that don't seem to work out must be more closely examined. Btw, do you have any Native-rulers in the Signs they Native-rule? Also, is it possible that Jupiter in Taurus is about what enables you to fulfill your Purpose, rather than what gives you a sense of purpose? Jupiter is InServiceTo Ouranos
, which is the Regulating and InTandem ruler of Taurus, and the Native-ruler of Aquarius, Companion-sign to Taurus. A very fortuitous placement!
The guy in the video appears to have Virgo issues.
You say he feels alienated? I was considering that "self-confident" might be better than "at home". How's his self-confidence? Also, could be "at home" mainly in the House of its placement, provided it's not poorly Aspected.
Sharp, the guy in the video has Virgo ascendant with Saturn conjunct Mercury in it. He is one of my very best friends, and he is doing a lot better now, lives together with a truly lovely woman, a very nice outcome of a long struggle. His Leo nature finally gets some opportunity to manifest itself now.
I don't have native ruling planets in their signs - I do know a guy with Mars in Mer but he is very keen on avoiding his purpose... haha, but yes, one might say he senses it, but this only results in his avoiding it, chickening out before it. I use that unflattering term because it is very wasteful of him and it annoys the hell out of me.
Ive had and lost a friend with Mars in Leo, and that was a genuinely purposeful guy. He had Sun in Taurus directly opposed to Uranus in Scorpio. He is dead now, one of very many from my generation raised in the 80's in Amsterdam, where basically boys would be punished and ridiculed for each and every masculine inclination, many just succumbed, became crazy and/or killed themselves.
Anyway, that Mars in Leo, Ive never met a person who was so relentless in his purposes. And yet, of course, he hasn't been allowed to fulfill most of them.
Yes, it could thus indeed be that my Jupiter in Taurus, also as it tightly trines Mars in Capricorn in X, is what allows me to fulfill my purpose - perhaps part of that is al the doubts and hardships I go through, as surely with my/
our! kind of purposes, suffering is integral to the development of the powers to get there.
The video-guys self-confidence is solid, he is very vulnerable in many respects but he is probably the proudest guy I know. He is the one that led me to Nietzsche and William Blake when he was 16/17 and I 18/19, he went so utterly far with it - it was a time when he would write songs and sung one of them (very) aloud in school before a girl he liked, which didn't necessary work in his favour, as the song is properly Nietzschean and rather harsh in that, but surely showed his minerals.
And yet - it was all the result of his intense struggling with himself in the world. I definitely observe that Leo Suns
need to feel that they are at home and self confident in the world -- regardless of how much work they need to do to get there.
