Tough Times: "Help before I go nuts..."
So, I've been going through some tough times for what seems like 10 years now. I'm 29 years old and on the cusp of my 30th birthday. At one point in my youth I was heavily into Astrology (Liz Greene's "Relating" was an integral step in my increasing interest).
Anyway, I was just wondering if some of you wonderful people could provide me some insight into my chart. I need some objective opinions on what might be some of the difficulties my chart presents me with. Also, for a morale booster, what are some of my strengths?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Here's my info:
September 1, 1981 4:16a.m. Bronx, NY
EDIT: Also, one of the biggest and most recent changes in my life has seen me take on the piano. I've always loved music but never bothered pursuing it due to my father's insistence that I be "more like a man". In either case, it has helped me in more ways than I can count. I was wondering if there was anything in my chart indicating musical ability. My second passion is writing, but that's such a third-house function it's almost too obvious
Also, some more background info: The first major injury I suffered was around the ages of 3-5 years old. I ran in front of a swing while a parent was swinging her child and was struck smack in the center of my forehead. The injury required stitches (I've often heard that people with Mars hovering over or on the Ascendant, there is a prominent scar on the head; I still have a scar running vertically down my forehead). Also, I was physically, verbally and sexually abused as a child by both my parents. I first became musical at the age of 8. I would sing to Patsy Cline records (after obsessively viewing the biopic, "Sweet Dreams") and begged my parents for a guitar which they bought me. I grew bored with it, though. I'm gay and also a recovering addict (drugs and alcohol) and have been extremely promiscuous in my youth (I think it helped validate me in some way). I suffer mood swings and quite a bit of anxiety, though I try tempering both with creativity (my addictions were the go-to fix just a few years back). In my young adulthood (18-27) I traveled throughout the country, trying as hard as I could to run away from anything too familiar. I struggled to reinvent myself from city to city, creating a "new life" for myself only to have it crumble time and time an again (I now see this as some form of self-sabotage).
My passions are music, writing and film. Figured I'd post some details about myself.
Also, my blog is www.thoughts-in-stasis.blogspot.com I just started this as a therapeutic measure. I post it b/c it contains some of my piano improvs and some writing on my childhood. If you're interested take a gander. It might prove helpful in interpreting my chart.
Thanks to all in advance for replying.
