I seldom put my own chart out here on display, but I'm having an 'interesting' time right now, so I thought I'd invite some input and see where it takes me.
I've developed a sudden urge to either join or start a band as the lead singer. This was something I wanted to do as a (young) teenager: my best friend and I were going to be the next Duran Duran, but I lacked the faith in myself to pursue it.
Now I'm nearly 40, have gone through some extremely challenging transits in the last several years (including a tr. Pluto conj. Sun transit), and feel ready to burst out of my skin.
What I'm really hungry for is a sense of glamour and adventure, currently missing from my rather stable and predictable existence. I have a good job, nice house, decent husband, great kids, etc. etc. but feel the need for some excitement...maybe even a touch of fame.
As I've mentioned elsewhere, my progressed chart has Mars and Chiron in Aries right on the ASC; I am also having some Venus-Neptune resonances in my natal and progressed charts. Hence the sudden desire to make music for the world.
I have close contacts in the music industry, but I have to say that I am not craving stadium-sized fame. In fact, the idea of singing in front of an audience (as opposed to singing in my car very loudly on the way to work) is deliciously terrifying. But good heavens, it sounds like fun. I have a good voice, so this isn't the problem. The problem is being 'watched'. Can I overcome this without developing a serious drug habit?
So, I would seek you good citizens' advice on this: is this a mid-life pipe dream? Can I actually make a go of it? SHOULD I make a go of it? Mr. Archergirl thinks I'm a bit bonkers but is otherwise supportive. My kids think I'm nuts. They're probably right.
I have Neptune on the MC in Scorpio, in square to its ruler Mars in my 1st house. They are in mutual reception, however (using modern rulers), and Mars is also in strong mutual reception with Jupiter, the traditional ruler of my Pisces Mars. Neptune on the MC is, I believe, one of the 'fame' aspects: I can project whatever sort of image I want to, and usually it's something not remotely resembling 'the real me'. Uranus, the other 'fame' planet, squares Mercury but is in a wide sextile to my Venus. Natal astrology isn't my strong point, so I'd appreciate any other ideas on this.
Any takers on my quest for fame and the limelight? (I'll stick with my day job in the meantime! ).
Rock n' rolla.
