There is a chance that I might have BPD according to my doctor.
Is there something in my chart that indicates bpd? Or bipolar disorder (this is also a possibility according to her)?
I know that astrology doesn't explain everything but I'm just curious if anyone can see mental illness in my chart.
That's a matter of personal opinion. There are those who might disagree with you.
The association of astrological symbolism with medical health is a specific branch of astrology. The symbolism can provide information that refers to personal(ity) traits which, in turn, could relate to a predisposition towards a physical complaint. Ethics forbid astrologers offering a diagnosis because most are not qualified (in the rational approach) as a medically trained practitioner.
When looking at the term 'mental illness', the astrological eye would probably first turn towards the position that Mercury (mentality) of Gemini or Virgo (communicative or rational mind), the aspects made and what this indicates as a means of verbal expression. The 1st and 6th houses concerned with manifestational health matters would be considered, yet also the 3rd house that is strongly associated with how one's environment can influence the individual thought processes. In the medical astrology through which I was taught the 9th house referred to 'health and well-being'; e.g. the pill and/or potion that can have a positive effect upon health and keep 6th house 'sickness' at bay.
The chart provided shows a 9th house Mercury in Virgo in harsh aspect to Moon(reactional response) in 7th house (close relationships). Mercury leads, which could mean that one's reactional response to people one is close to is first critical because it does not agree with the manner in which one personally thinks.
The 3rd house influence is found through Pisces, modern ruler Neptune. Neptune has a reputation for seeing things from a totally different other worldly perspective that is all its own. In good aspect to Mercury this can create a wonderful combination of mental perception attuned to an illusive and unfathomable fantasy quality. Worship of an idyll, yet also ideal for physical expression (Earth) through the creative arts.
It's when one's mental expression has an expression of realism that is not what others experience, that difficulties can arise.
The astrological eye regarding a Bi-polar disorder might turn towards harsh aspects between Jupiter (too much) and Saturn (too little). High highs versus low lows, optimism versus pessimism, joy versus depression, etc.. There is a harsh link between Jupiter and Saturn, which also takes in natal Sun....life's motivation; the big red triangle in the chart. A Libra Sun seeks balance through equality. It may incline to look towards others for this, rather than be strong in its own ability to see both sides of the same equation.
The personality is considered a 1st house condition. There is no birth data provided, but if the birth time is more or less accurate, the position of Pluto (deep emotional expression of power of will) to the Ascendant could be suggestive of a deep and underlying current that can take control over one's view of the personal world. There is a harsh aspect to Venus, ruler of 6th house of physical matters. If the 5th house is included (high latitude birth??), this could well bear a relationship with those matters concerning that house. Venus also aspects natal Neptune.
The inner world experiences of outer world situations could take precedence.
One major significance could be that there is no planet in the water elements of the chart. Water refers to expression of emotion through the quality of feelings. It could signify that there is a difficulty to 'adapt' to whatever someone else is experiencing or going through. It's all 'one way'.
The beauty of Libra is that it can adapt in its effort to seek equality of balance. The Libra Sun makes one very important aspect. It is positively aspected to the planet that brings about change. This can show itself in one's nature through its rebelliousness towards 'the norm' because its personal independence of individuality is so important. It's the path that leads to a future that puts old habits and ways behind it.
Such changes usually make an appearance after the Saturn return; i.e. when Saturn returns to its position at birth to begin a new cycle of experience. the change from immaturity to adulthood.
Co-incidence that Saturn and Uranus are in positive aspect in the chart?
Do YOU believe the medical diagnosis given you, or is it just an individual mental personality phase you could be going through??????
And the birth time is very accurate, straight out of my birth certificate.
I'm very impulsive and I've ended up doing a lot of bad decisions in my life. My crazy impulsivity is one of the possible symptoms of bpd. Spontaneity is a great thing and I would love to be more spontaneous in a good kind of way but whenever I'm being spontaneous, it ends up being impulsivity, if that makes any sense.
